Biden says Trump should not receive intelligence briefings
Washington Post ^ | 02/05/2021 | Shane Harris

President Biden said Friday that former president Donald Trump should not have access to classified information in the form of the briefings usually given to ex-presidents, citing Trump’s “erratic behavior” and the risk that he might recklessly reveal sensitive information.

Biden stopped short of announcing that he had officially decided to prevent his predecessor from receiving the briefings, which are traditionally given before former presidents travel abroad, particularly in an official capacity. But Biden has the unilateral authority to deny intelligence access to anyone he chooses, and his remarks amounted to a statement that Trump — who for four years controlled the entire U.S. security apparatus — was himself a security risk.

Denying the briefings to a former president would be an unprecedented action, and Biden’s remarks, made during an appearance on “CBS Evening News” with Norah O’Donnell, emphasized the president’s concern, and that of other officials, that Trump poses a risk to national security because of what he might disclose.

Could you imagine the outrage across the entire political spectrum had President Trump denied Obama access to intelligence briefings?

The loss of briefings to President Trump is, of course, an insult but it has no practical effect.

Can’t image anything as useless as a briefing from Biden’s deep state operatives. You know they would be lying.

Once you have the number, recite your ABC’s.

Note that Deep State hasn’t actually stopped the briefings.

Anyone else thinking what I’m thinking: that the contents of those briefings continue to be highly suspect....

Trump didn’t get real intelligence briefings even when he was President.

This is a cover story for President Trump already discontinuing the briefings and Xao Bai-Din doesn't want word to get out.

It came out that President Trump and Nazi Pelosi didn't speak again after her hissy fit in the White House. (almost a year and a half ago). The propaganda media keeps that story quiet because it clearly shows President Trump needed nothing from her and that she had nothing to offer anyway.

Biden is briefed every morning. By 5pm, he has forgotten the briefing.

Like when Mrs. Bill Clinton let the Russians have thousands of Secret and Top Secret memos?

You’re delusional. Please stop. Biden is the sole commander-in-chief of the United States military and Trump has no authority beyond any US citizen. Period. No argument... No evidence exists otherwise. There is no Q.

Indeed Biden is the last person to receive any type of intelligence briefing he blurts out things without thing.

“I don’t need your votes, I need you to support me after I win”

"I don’t need you to get me elected"

We have the "most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."

The obverse also true:
Biden is not intelligent enough to receive briefings.

It's not something to agree on. It's an inarguable fact. You don't get a choice. It is only what it is.
