Discussion: Harry Reid: How Can Intel Community Give Trump Classified Briefings Now?

YES! More please!!! DO NOT LET UP, HARRYā€¦FUCK HIM WITH THIS SANS LUBEā€¦

Edit:

Actually, give him information then drive him fucking crazy with accusations and attacks on his ego. Heā€™ll spill something in public in an attempt to use it to his advantage and find himself prosecuted.

Paul Ryan: This means Hillary shouldnā€™t get any intel briefings because we know Putin will get the info.

Anyone know why the candidates will be getting classified briefings already? Why not wait till winner is decided in November?

This is like when Reid went on the Senate floor in 2012 and said about Romney, ā€œThe wordā€™s going around that he hasnā€™t paid any taxes. If he has let him show his tax returns and prove it. But he canā€™t, because he hasnā€™t!ā€

Of course, Harry didnā€™t say that he was playing a yuuuuge role in putting the word around.

I love this guy!

So Trump will have something to talk about in his Fox interviews?

Just give him some old WW1 strategy briefings or a copy of a GI Joe comic and heā€™ll never know the difference. His worldview sees the globe as made up of Trumplandia and ā€˜Everywhere Else.ā€™

This is more than scary. Is the government actually required by law to give intel briefings to candidates?

If need be Iā€™d be willing for Hillary to forego the briefings as well, if that is what it would take to withhold them from Trump. With her background she could make up time very rapidly between Nov. and Jan. As for the election, does our intel have to clear someone just because heā€™s been nominated, let alone elected?

Iā€™ve been wondering for a couple weeks now if Trumpā€™s hunger for bizarre off the wall notoriety would be satisfied with just stirring up this country, or if heā€™d do his best to expand his ā€œshock and aweā€ tactics to the rest of the world, like a thrill seeker seeking ever bigger and more dangerous thrills. I did think it would take a bit longer, though.

Iā€™ve been waiting so long to have this conversation about this very issue. That weā€™d be very concerned that Trump would be getting access to intel via this mechanism has been foreseeable for quite some time. Heā€™s so erratic and undisciplined its just be hyper-obvious that he really shouldnā€™t be given any information he canā€™t read about on wikileaks.

In Traitor Trumpā€™s effort to deflect attention from his nefarious financial dealing with the Russian oligarchy, Benedict Donald really stepped into some far more serious shit!

No intel reports until further investigation is completed. And no investigation will be complete without a full, up-his-ass review of his finances, and Iā€™m not talking about his tax returns.

Letā€™s not forget that all former presidents are entitled to receive in-depth daily security briefings. I have a feeling that, between her husband and our current president, if Hillary wanted info on something, sheā€™d have it.

And I have NO WORRIES about sensitive information being in the hands of our nominee!!!

Reid on Intel Briefings to Trump: ā€œFake it, pretend youā€™re doing a briefing."

Fake the briefing to a fake candidate of a fake party for fake Americans who fake patriotism.

I like it.

ETA: What ā€“ nobody went with the ā€œheā€™s used to things being fakedā€ angle?

If they pretend that Benedict Donald is the ā€œstarā€ of the briefings, he wouldnā€™t care if he was being given chocolate chip cookie recipes.

If he is given access to the intel reports, that would serve as proof just how dangerous it is to have him in power.

It would be proof that the system is dangerously slanted to give individuals holding or almost holding the office far more deference than they deserve.

Sounds like T.Rumpā€™s connections to Russia really needs to be investigated since he is taking such a friendly view of the country (Russia) that the Pubbies regarded as our mortal enemy since the days of McCarthyism.

At least if they give Trump fake intel, heā€™s not likely to know the difference. Iā€™ll give him that thereā€™s a chance he could find Russia on a map, but Estonia? Never.

Maybe, Trump will hire Jack Bauer as his adviser on national security issues.

But at this point in the election, a lot of reckless things have already been said.
