Schiff says he hopes Intelligence Community ‘will dumb down’ briefings for Trump

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the U.S. Intelligence Community should “dumb down” briefings for former President Trump when he receives classified information as the eventual GOP nominee, voicing concerns about whether Trump could share the information.

Schiff hit Trump on his criminal charges for mishandling classified information and other legal cases in an NBC “Meet the Press” interview Sunday.

“We’ve never had a situation where one of the candidates for president has been so criminally negligent when it comes to handling — if not worse — classified information,” Schiff said. “So I have to hope, and knowing the Intelligence Community as I do, that they will dumb down the briefing for Donald Trump.”

Do. Not. Brief. trump.

He’s a massive security risk.

Biden already said he would when he officially becomes the nominee. It's fucking insane.

Unless it's a law, Trump shouldn't receive any security briefings until he's sitting in the office.

I'm always entertained by randos on message boards who think they can will things into existence by posting. in. staccato. tone.

It’s just for added emphasis, and it’s less obnoxious than all caps. Exclamation points aren’t good enough!
