House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff said: “There's no circumstance in which this president should get another intelligence briefing, not now, not in the future.” | Alex Brandon/AP PhotoHouse Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff said Sunday that President Donald Trump should be barred from daily intelligence briefings immediately — and remain cut off from briefings once President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in.
Schiff’s comments come a day after Susan Gordon, Trump’s former principal deputy director of national intelligence,arguing that Trump must not be briefed on intelligence after Jan. 20. Gordon said that especially since Trump intends to remain in politics, he “might be unusually vulnerable to bad actors with ill intent.”
Schiff added that he thinks U.S. allies withheld information from the Trump administration because “they didn’t trust the president” to protect intelligence, which, in turn, “makes us less safe.”
FoolTravelling Sen. Harry Reid said same before 2016 election, and he was right!
FoolTravelling Adam Schiff definitely should not
He’d monetize it—if he could remember anything worth selling.
He didn’t understand them anyway
Hear, hear!!
CindynEncinitas ABSOLUTELY agree!!!
SethAbramson Trumpy didn't attend his own briefings when he was president. Why the freak does he need em now?
Agreed. We must protect all Americans. He & not anyone in his administration or those who helped with this coup, should ever get another security briefing or a security clearance & should be placed on the “No Fly” list for life. Save America!!
AprilGreen93 He didn’t read them before, so...no.
He shouldn’t even be briefed on the weather forecast.
Please
Hell he never took any when it counted. When he did it was a 1 power point cartoon slide. That’s what I heard over social media.
Chairman Schiff's assesment at gut level is spot on. Have Intellegence services weigh in privately on any/all risks. Briefings are so sitting President can mine experience of former Presidents. How on Earth could any Trump utterance add value to critical Presidential decisions?
You just know he’ll trade it to Putin for better loan terms or location for a luxury Trump resort in Russia
Absolutely. He will sell them to putin
He couldn't be bothered to read them when he should have been. If he keeps getting them, they will just be currency for him.
Trump can't be trusted with ANY information let alone sensitive information.
SethAbramson Agree!
SethAbramson He should NOT.
There's no reason for any past president or official to get these briefings
NancySinatra People have been trying to feed tRump intelligence for four years. He’s proved to be intelligence proof.
SethAbramson Hasn't he been declining them for 4 years?
SethAbramson I thought that he never got them anyway..
SethAbramson Damn skippy.
Some sense at last.
He never paid attention to them before. Just omit the pictures and use big words.
Key word: 'Privilege', just like a Driver's License.
StevePPhill So agree!!
He'll sell the info....
SethAbramson He didn’t read them when he did get them
It’s obvious that Republicans are gone from Twitter. Schiff has airways been a hater. Trump will be vindicated. Beijing Biden will be a disaster!
Take the nuclear arming device away from the 100% mentally ill and unfit POTUS immediately if you have any brains! Hold him on the ground in AF-1 until the clock hits 12:01PM on Wednesday. Then switch the code on the football so that total control of it switches to Joe Biden!
Absolutely true. Also, they need to change all the security codes, and the locks on every door in the White House.
rev_dr_steve He’s making Buchu money selling his pardons who’s to stop him from selling classified Intel to another country. The only thing that he ever wanted to do was to make money. Which he already has.
No worries...Trump isn’t interested in Intelligence briefings. He skips most of them because they are far beyond his comprehension, so he finds them boring and a waste of his time. After Wednesday, problem solved.
SethAbramson Why on earth would Biden think 🍊💩🤡needed briefings? He never liked them while in office. The worst pres in history doesn’t deserve them. And it’s proper payback for the absence of cooperation during the transition.
This is absolutely prudent. It should be assumed that he will monetize whatever information he finds useful.
SethAbramson He never showed up for them or showed any signs of intelligence anyway..
... Suddenly,? At the last minute?
Is this the guy who spread the Russian collusion hoax?
Impeach him and that problem is solved. I'm not worried about him, cause he doesn't read it. But his kids and any other will do.
SethAbramson Agreed.
SlowmotoMe No, Trump should receive daily briefings about domestic terrorist activities that he helped or led.
Trump needs to be arrested. I still cannot wrap my head around the fact we have a President who incited attacks on the Capitol of Michigan and our nation's Capitol and he's still in office and not arrested. I'm having a hard time with this.
Yup
Many would say the same things about Representative Schiff. He doesn’t exactly have the most ethical & honest reputation.
Just give him the written version. Problem solved.
SethAbramson He never read them anyway. Leave out the pictures.
SethAbramson So so agree. He is our biggest threat to national security, giving trump briefings would likely be just as bad as giving briefings to America’s enemies.
SethAbramson this from someone with no intelligence
SethAbramson If this is indeed Speaker Pelosi's final term as Speaker, I can think of no better choice than Mr. Schiff as her successor, if the majority is maintained.
The thing is, almost no one in the Trump administration had clearance. Trump just let everyone do what he wanted. Jared couldn't even answer the questions honestly, he was never vetted, yet he traveled all over making deals.
His eyes low key bout to pop out
Dudes skinny neck is creepy
NancySinatra Hell Our concern needs to be the Trump Republicans still in Office. Don't yeah think !!!
SethAbramson The nation cannot afford for him to be a free man. Arrest him on 1/20 and held him until trial. He is a flight risk. A national security risk. He cannot be free. He must be imprisoned for life, it is the only to keep America safe.
SethAbramson Totally agree
SethAbramson Gonna be awkward that all the briefings are about Trump and his cronies under investigation.
SethAbramson No
SethAbramson Absolutely!! ASAP
SethAbramson He doesn’t Even read them now why do we want him to have them after
Right On !
Hell he never read them anyway.
This guy is a horrible person and yet you quote him. Says more about you than him
Hey he is selling pardons ...good grief
Its reassuring to see that Biden has put completing Trump's Border Wall a number one priority! Maybe Nancy Pelosi can autograph it, too!
🚨🚨 Right, your tongue, Hillary Hillary Clinton in 2016 a voice and a picture: It is possible in America that you will be the presidential candidate and then the elections will be stolen from you 🚨And that's exactly what you did with Trump in 2020💯⭕
I, 100% agree!! Tr*** is a Putin agent!!
laugh... was that a real quote or from last month? lol politico you are jokey news funny
