    In summary, no defender of all things Don has come up with any information in dispute of what McCabe said about what Trump's briefings are like. What we have is another WH attempt at spin control to keep Trump from appearing to be exactly the prez he is.......................not interested enough in national security and the safety of our troops to have ordered his national security team to get to the bottom of the matter and report back to him.......................................as any other prez would have done.

    And you have no idea whether he reads it or how he processes the information there in.

    No, that was the lying part. He wasn't prosecuted for that either. You'd have to ask Sessions why.

    Numerous reports have stated he does not read it, it's a widely known fact. Don't be ignorant.

    All ax grinders. And most of them nameless into the bargain, and more than a few who are in no position to know one way or the other.

    You have no idea what an intel brief contains so you don't know if reading it is stupid or not.

    Quit pretending like they send you a copy along with the president.

    They don't.

    And that's a bad thing, why Mr.McCabe? I'd like to think that the pictures/video adds to the presentation and makes the clarity stronger. These are good practices for any President, even one that isn't as "dimwitted" as the establishment believes Trump to be.

    McCabe’s a lying disgraced cop. There is nothing to defend.

    You would? Of course you would, so would any sane person who is not beholden to Putin, but that apparently, is not the case with Trump.

    No, because it's also widely known that Trump goes biserk when someone reports information putting Putin in a bad light, so much so that underlings withhold information about Putin (to avoid Trump's wrath), putting the information in briefing documents so they can say 'I briefed him', although they know he won't read it. FYI, Trump owes russian banks millions, and if you want to know why Trump is beholden to Russia, read this. and we know this is true because Eric Trump admitted it, "We have all the funding we need from Russia" he said. (source: Boston radio interview: https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2017/05/05/james-dodson-donald-trump-golf)

    https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/how-russian-money-helped-save-trumps-business/

    Like Pelosi says, all roads lead back to Putin, as in Putin controlling Trump, Trump is Putin's bitch, no question about it.

    I'm sorry to inform you of this inconvenient truth, but there it is.

    The simple fact that the Trump's are beholden to Russia affects foreign policy, and, as such, Trump poses a threat to the National Security of America. And, this could be brought to light if we forced Trump to reveal his taxes, but republicans won't cooperate with dems on that point.

    In short, republicans are the problem. Solution? Get rid of republicans.

    No, Trump is beholden to Russia, that's what:

    Eric Trump admitted it about his family, "We have all the funding we need from Russia" he said. (source: Boston radio interview: https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2017/05/05/james-dodson-donald-trump-golf)

    And
    https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/how-russian-money-helped-save-trumps-business/

    Underlings know that Trump goes biserk if they tell him about anything bad about Putin, so they'll just put it in a briefing document, and not mention it, at least that much they can say the did their job, although they know he won't read it.

    Which is probably why Trump put real sanctions on Russia, puts pressure on Germany to quit buying megatonnes of Russian oil and gas, actively and seriously supports Ukraine in its opposition to Russian intervention, and bombed the hell out of a Russian base in Syria killing 400 Russians, etc. This dreamland mythical meme is getting very tiresome. Join Nadler, Schiff, Pelosi and company and try to find something at least original even if still fantasy.

    I knew I could rely on you not to have an interest in all the facts.

    1. It shouldn't be anything other than a summary of important information. That's why it's called a "brief".

    2. I'm fairly certain that a country invading another country would involve a call to awaken the President and senior advisors.

    You said hearing what he had to say. You said nothing about facts.

    i guess she missed that it wasn’t in the briefing because the intel community found them to be unverified rumors.

    Correct and it's unactionable information for the most part, if it's more important and requires immediate concern the president will be told directly about it.
