===Trump suspicions after Rogers warning===

After Roger's warning in November, and the IC's public threats in December, Trump was suspicious and apprehensive of Brennan, Clapper, and [[Jimmy the Weasel]] Comey. Trump plotted his own reverse-sting by not informing anyone - not even his closest most trusted confidants of the upcoming secret briefing with Brennan, Clapper, and Comey. Trump explained after Clapper leaked the ''Steele dossier'' to CNN and BuzzFeed: {{quote box|I think it’s pretty sad when intelligence reports get leaked out to the press. First of all, it’s illegal. These are classified and certified meetings and reports.  I’ll tell you what does happen. I have many meetings with intelligence. And every time I meet, people are reading about it. Somebody is leaking it out.<br>So I said, “Maybe it’s my office. Maybe my office.” Because I’ve got a lot of people … Maybe it’s them.<br>What I did, is I said I won’t tell anybody. I’m going to have a meeting, and I won’t tell anybody about my meeting with intelligence.<br>I had my meeting. Nobody knew – not even Rhona, my executive assistant for years. She didn’t know – I didn’t tell her. Nobody knew.<br>The meeting was had. They left, and immediately the word got out that I had a meeting. So, I don’t want that. It’s very unfair to the country. It’s very unfair to our country what’s happening. That report should never have been…that should never ever happen.<ref>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4110654/Trump-conducts-sting-operation-ensnare-intelligence-briefers-says-caught-leaking.html</ref>}} After CNN and BuzzFeed publicized the ''Steele dossier'', Trump confronted Clapper. Clapper lied to the president and American people in a press release about the leak.
