Politico, NYT, and WaPo were sent confidential hacked/leaked information about the Trump campaign. None have published the details of what they were given. Why?

Rule 10: This whole saga is strange. 3 “credible” mainstream media outlets were sent confidential information about the Trump campaign, including a detailed vetting of VP candidate Vance. They all have chosen to *not* publish that information. While the Trump campaign claims it was hacked by Iran, it hasn’t provided any evidence to back that claim, and all 3 publications seems suspicious that Iran is the source.

A few questions that deserve answers;

1. Are Politico, The New York Times, and the Washington Post colluding in their decisions to not publish the leaked material?

2. Why has the information been sent to only these 3 publications? If the idea was to damage the Trump campaign, it seems an outlet like Buzzfeed, who published the Steele Dossier without regard to the accuracy of it, would be a better outlet to send the information to.

3. Who is the real source of the leaks? Politico claims to have to received the information from a person called “Robert,” who when asked for more details said, “I suggest you don’t be curious about where I got them from.”
