Schiff: Trump ‘Can’t Be Trusted’ To Receive Intel Briefings When Out Of Office
Brietbart ^ | 1-17-2021 | Pam Key

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that there was “no circumstance” under which President Donald Trump should receive intelligence briefings once he leaves office.

Schiff said, “There is no circumstance in which this president should get another intelligence briefing, not now, not in the future.”

He added, “I don’t think he can be trusted with it now, and in the future, he certainly can’t be trusted. Indeed, there were any number of intelligence partners of ours around the world who probably started withholding information from us because they didn’t trust the president would safeguard that information and protect the sources and methods. That makes us less safe.

O.K., as a general rule, no ex-POTUS should be getting intelligence briefings--full stop.

If Obama has been getting them, that should stop too.

WTF ever happened to "need-to-know?"

Why would a former president receive an intelligence briefing as a private citizen?

Exactly! Give me one good reason why Carter, Clinton, or Bush should still receive these briefings.

They’ve been withholding that from him since before he was elected

They told us flat out that they were giving him false or incomplete briefings

“There is no circumstance in which president Harris should get another intelligence briefing, not now, not in the future.”

Well of course. The president almost single handedly shutdown the entire democrat crony defense contactor business by ignoring the paleosimians and showing the entire world that the middle east has much to gain by not being in continuous war with the joos. But thankfully, that is all over now and we can return to exploiting the world for fun and profit

This is the guy who chairs the House Intelligence Committee and who was banging Chinese agent Fang Fang, right?

That man - Schiff - needs to be silenced. And I mean that in a good kind of way.

1. None of these people should be getting any intel briefings once gone from office. NONE!

2. Some currently in office shouldn’t be getting them either. Adam schiff-4-brains.

As opposed to the direct intelligence pipeline from J R Biden to Beijing.
