Reuters — U.S. intercepts show Russian officials celebrating Trump win: Washington Post


Another anti-Trump intel leak by US officials aka anonymous sources, aka the establishment opposing a Trump presidency. I would surmise that these "officials" are among those on the way out since they must realize that Mike Flynn is going set about ferreting out these leakers pronto on the accession of the new administration. 

The Post (Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron) will be dependent on leakers in the Trump administration since the paper will no longer have access. And they can probably count on withering attacks by the administration and likely the president on social media, which will remain his preferred from of communication. It's about getting even. 

The New York Times and Washington Post are already infamous as the "liberal media," so the administration won't be going out on a limb demonizing them. I would expect it to get personal, too, with the administration, including the president himself, and surrogates like Roger Stone, calling out specific people.
