Trump Does Not Accept Intelligence Briefings

Obama orchestrated something even worse. The day after Obama met Comey on Jan 5, 2017, Comey went to Trump Tower to "brief" Trump on the Steele dossier. Comey then leaked that Trump had been briefed to CNN. CNN then used the Trump briefing to legitimize the fraudulent dossier. https://t.co/tePTiigaip

President Trump and the American people now know how corrupt and sleazy the government/Deep State is. He knows how the thugs operate and won't fall victim to them again.

This is the right decision.

Unfortunately, over the last decade a group of senior IC execs decided to weaponize intelligence briefings for political gain. Comey using a briefing during the last transition to blackmail and “get a read” on Trump is only one example of the abuse. https://t.co/0UjvW1M4Wl
