    Nancy Pelosi had this presented to her as well, in much the same format. So did Adam Schiff.https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...several-years/

      Never. Trump's just an average guy, giving his opinions and saying whatever he's thinking at the moment. He might be right or wrong, he makes mistakes - you know, just a shmuck like you and me. Maybe he had a headache that day, and missed that part of the top-secret national security briefing. Maybe he just forgot. That's not a crime, is it?

        But that doesn't matter because they are Democrats. And they aren't Trump.

        Besides, Pelosi was too busy posing with her Kente to worry about it.

          That's EGGzackly what it is --- NYT hates Trump -- Even Pelosi is griping because Trump SHOULD have been advised.

          Find another hobby horse. This one fell down and died.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            That sounds like it could have been a Laugh-in joke.

                I'm open to this possibly being true. How can we square this claim with claims by the DNI that they never heard this info?

                  DNI runs a big outfit - it's possible somebody in there heard it and didn't pass it on.

                  Back when I was USAF, we had an outfit at Goodfellow AFB where we had all branches of service represented, along with No Such Agency and other intel agencies, and our job was to compare notes to establish patterns.

                  Subsequently, that kind of cooperation was poo-pooed. Nobody was allowed to know what others knew.

                    What's to "square"? The info was considered not credible, so it was never explicitly brought to anybody's attention.

                    Come on, man!

                      It's just really hard letting the biggest bombshell ever fizzle.

                        That's is not what your quote says. Read it again.

                            How can it simultaneously not be brought to anyone's attention but also have been brought to (according to you) Schiff and Pelosi's attention and appear in the PDB?

                              Perhaps you're misunderstanding the scandal. Which part of it that I've weighed in on has fizzled?

                                Keep hoping, brother. Keep hoping.

                                Even Pelosi has given up on this one!
