Not 100% sure this is real, but Deadspin editor claiming the raw feed for C-Span1 switched to Russia Today for about 10 minutes:

I'm thinking of doing some speculative buying on the stock market....what kind of companies thrived during the height of the cold war? What company still makes bomb shelters?

Ugh, this is my brain's thought process:
Man, Obama and Biden have the utmost respect for each other.
Gee, Biden's really breaking down.
Wow, Dem those boyz.
Hmm, If only Biden had ran.
Crap, Can u imagine Dump doing this for Pence and it being this emotional?
HELP, what hell is this life!

Now I'm upset. Thanks Obama!

Apparently real. Gizmodo says C-SPAN emailed out this statement:

This afternoon the online feed for C-SPAN was briefly interrupted by RT programming. We are currently investigating and troubleshooting this occurrence. As RT is one of the networks we regularly monitor, we are operating under the assumption that it was an internal routing issue. If that changes we will certainly let you know.

Preparing for the takeover I guess

Man, I'm gonna miss Obama and Uncle Joe. I still can't believe we're going from these two intelligent, stand-up human beings to Orange Hitler and Pence. What a bizarre time to be alive.

You need lots of iodine to negate the effects of radiation, so look for an old fashioned pharma that makes iodine

If there's nuclear war I want to be directly underneath the first bomb.

I don't even like survival video games, screw doing that in real life.

Interesting, Calgary Herald directly mentioning the "pee" angle of the Russian leak. First time I had seen it mentioned by a legitimate news source.

So allegedly people within the US intelligence community have been telling their associates inside Israeli intelligence to be very careful about what they share going forward, on the fears that it could be shared with Moscow and then on to Tehran.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...906642,00.html

The number of reports coming from different international sources is what makes this look like there's a real fire in the intelligence community behind all this smoke.

Beat me to it. Was just about to post the same article, which was linked from this Rolling Stone piece by Matt Taibbi.

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...-point-w460806

Meanwhile, Ynet in Israel is reporting that Israeli intelligence officials are deciding not to share intelligence with the incoming Trump administration. The report indicates they came to this conclusion after a recent meeting with American intelligence officials, who told them the Russians have "leverages of pressure" to use against Trump.

This is an extraordinary story. If our intelligence community really believes this, then playtime is over. No more Clapper-style hedging or waffling. If Israel gets to hear why they think Trump is compromised, how is the American public not also so entitled? But if all they have are unverifiable rumors, they can't do this, not even to Donald Trump.

The only solution is an immediate unveiling of all the facts and an urgent public investigation. A half-assed whispering campaign a week and a half from a Trump presidency, with BuzzFeed at the center of the action, isn't going to cut it. We need to know what the likes of Clapper and Comey know, and we need it all now, before it's too late.

A thought came to me today. With almost all of Trump's cabinet picks coming out at the senate confirmations and outright going against Trump policy, is it possible that they aren't actually Trump's picks? That the Republicans already had an inkling that Trump will be ousted shortly, but they'll have their cabinet picks in place anyway.

After getting confirmation from Biden and Clapper on what happened Cooper said they asked her to come back on the show tonight (I assume to apologize). She declined.
