President-elect Donald Trump called the unverified allegations about Russian information gathering on him "fake news" on Wednesday, and one former CIA analyst is backing him up.

The 35-page document, published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday evening, contains explosive allegations of his ties to Russia, as well as accusations of salacious activities.

"As a former CIA analyst, I can say with complete confidence … that those leaked memos are as fake as the play money you would buy at a toy store," George David Banks said in an interview with "Power Lunch" on Wednesday.

 

Banks, who is now executive vice president of the American Council for Capital Formation, didn't go into further details on why he came to that conclusion.

However, if one were to assume it was real, it would show that "Russian counterintelligence is in total disarray," he pointed out.

During his first postelection news conference on Wednesday, Trump blasted BuzzFeed as a "failing pile of garbage" and said the online media outlet "will suffer the consequences."

The Russian government on Wednesday called the report a "total hoax."

Tuesday evening, BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith tweeted an email he said to his staff that said, in part, that the site decided to publish the dossier so that Americans can make up their own minds. On Wednesday, BuzzFeed told CNBC it stands by its decision.

On Tuesday, NBC News reported that sources said briefing materials prepared for President-elect Donald Trump included damaging allegations about his dealings with Russians. The information was initially circulated among Trump opponents before being passed to U.S. intelligence agencies, according to NBC News.

Disclosure: CNBC parent NBCUniversal is a minority investor in BuzzFeed.

Sorry so a single former CIA analyst saying that it is "fake" is worthy of repute.

 

However, when every intelligence agency signed off on a document reporting that the Russians were involved in manipulating the election, the entire intelligence community as a whole couldn't be trusted?

 

Such a strange world some people live in.

It was released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It is an "intelligence community assessment" posted by the oversight office that is "leading intelligence integration". It is primarily composed of work by the NSA, FBI and CIA however since it was released by the ODNI it has the seal of ODNI which covers all of the intelligence agencies. 

 

So I guess when I said "intelligence community" I should have said "federal intelligence community". 

 

So the question still stands - How is a single former member of one branch of the federal intelligence community reporting, without any evidence, that something is fake somehow significant consider Trump spent several weeks denying the conclusions of a report written by the office that integrates all of our federal intelligence and briefs the highest level of government (including himself)?
