Producer from Disney-ABC gave proprietary exit poll data to Trump on election night.
"
This was info they needed and was used to target the precincts and machines 4 Putin to flip red for that all important electoral win."
Replying to @politico
This shortens the timeline if there IS ever found to be actual interference w/ the vote results. At 5:01pm Vlasto reports to Bossie the numbers are very bad for Trump in the battleground states. At 10:39pm Trump wins OH; 10:53pm he wins FL
If Trump was down 5 -8 points in 8 battleground states based on exit polls at 5 pm, um, how did he win?

ABC reprimands producer for giving data to Trump campaign
ABC News said it has reprimanded its top producer for investigative reporting for giving Donald Trump’s presidential campaign proprietary exit polling data on election night 2016.
In their new book “Let Trump Be Trump,” campaign insiders Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie wrote that
Chris Vlasto -- then-executive producer of “Good Morning America” and now senior executive producer for investigative reporting -- called Bossie, Trump’s deputy campaign manager, at 5:01 p.m. on election night with information being shared within a consortium of the Associated Press and the major TV networks.
"Vlasto had the early exit numbers that the consortium of news networks — the Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News — had collected,” Lewandowski and Bossie wrote. “
The consortium followed eleven battleground states, including Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Trump was down in eight of the eleven states by five to eight points. The news was devastating. A kill shot.”
Two sources familiar with the consortium process told POLITICO that Vlasto should not have been providing such detailed information to people outside the group, which spends millions of dollars on exit polling and shares the information on Election Day.

Question I have is, Why would Lewandowski give up this information?
