Ugg suggest wrap briefings around jagged rock and fling at Trumpskull. Perhaps this way it sticks.

Given the apparent purge of US intelligence sources (perhaps our best sources in the world?) inside the Russian FSS following Team Trump being briefed on Russian interference in our election, anything else would be irresponsible.

Let the WH demand sources and methods and then if those sources and methods are then compromised you can build your case for treason.

While usually placing matter into a vacuum means it’s no longer a vacuum that doesn’t work here. Intelligence disappears and the vacuum remains.

Duh, If an intelligence document is limited to one page and does not contain different points of view, something is being withheld.

Guess they didn’t get the ‘1 page only, lots of diagrams’ memo’. They should have tweeted it.

Me like Ugg. Ugg always cut to chase. With good idea. Makes sense to.


"Makes sense to." Typo? Not a typo? Double meaning? Best sentence I've ever written?

“Any suggestion that the U.S. Intelligence Community is withholding information and not providing the best possible intelligence to the President and his national security team is not true,” the ODNI said in a statement.

From this, I can draw only one conclusion: No one in Washington is currently capable of telling the truth.

This.

The timing here is frightening. Even if it was coincidence, the damage to our ability to get good information and to recruit good assets will last a generation. And don’t think Putin didn’t consider that.

Classified Memo Tells Intelligence Analysts to Keep Trump’s Daily Brief Short. And go easy on the nuance.

"I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years."

Presumptuous fool thinks he’ll last that long

I wouldn’t expect the ODNI to say anything else. It’s classic CYA.

Elsewhere, in the vast reaches of the Twitterverse …

It appears that the U.S. Intelligence Community is withholding information not just from the President, but also from the ODNI.

Note “best possible.”

One could add, once abbreviated for low attention span and reduced to language that a president with a fourth grade reading level can understand.

Trump not interested in intelligence. Well, duh!

Any other response than denial would be stupid. The intelligence community is many things but stupid isn’t one of them.
