How would you like to be the bureaucrat briefer to a Manhattan billionaire who has for decades come to expect rock solid information with excruciating detail from his Wharton MBA managers?? Not me. The delay in presentation was probably due to the briefer needing more time to practice in front of a mirror.

Motives are not proof that they did it. Demand real proof!

I’d make Brennan go through security and be escorted

LMFAO!. That's a good one. I'd also have the surliest former NYPD detectives escorting Brennan and his security detail. Telling his security detail agents, "You can just STFU, we have our orders from Mr. Trump. Btw, where are you a**holes from??"

Trump needs to have a meeting with a total vertical slice of the organizations and start asking for facts starting at the lowest levels and working up from there.

Sure. But my point was to illustrate the critical fact that their motives are highly questionable.

Actually I feel sorry for guys like them. In many cases, experience on the political tier of the intelligence agencies is the most efficient way to distance yourself from having respect for basic truth.

Those are the wrong guys to deliver a "briefing".

They are there to blow smoke, thrown dust at the eyes and point to the squirrel outside the window.

“James Clapper, John Brennan and James Comey.”

I hope Trump has his entire tower SWEPT FOR BUGS, including the restrooms and elevators after these traitors exit his building.


I was thinking same thing....

Along with Flynn, Pompeo and Kelly should be there to ask pointed questions.

“They are preparing to point to motives...” I might have had motive too, that doesn’t mean I did it. Where is the proof?

Interesting timing, terrorist attack in FLA, and the three Jokers are visiting Trump.

Exactly.

Brennan and Clapper are on their way out in two weeks, and Comey may not last much longer. They have no interest in giving Trump any good information. Nor will they lift a finger to help find whoever leaked info to NBC. Heck, it might even be one of them.

" terrorist attack in FLA"

As there is no perp info, a good guess.

Both Crapper and Brennan have lied UNDER OATH while testifying before congress. Snowden caught one of them...forget which one.
