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.”

    It’s just incredible that the guy is in a legal battle about mishandling intelligence materials, and we’re even talking about giving him access to more of them. This country is absolute brain rot.

      A regular citizen would be immediately rejected for even the lowest security clearance with his history and debt. He’s shown he doesn’t care to protect classified information and has every reason to try to barter it for money. He’s got all kinds of massive debt to foreign entities and has a pressing need to secure more funding, likely from foreign entities because US entities don’t trust him with their money.

        We have regular citizen Jack Teixeira getting 16 years and many say he got off easy.

            He’s already tweeted classified images, so we don’t need to speculate, the answer is no.

      Yes, I have given up trying.

      The ruling class succeeded in making the masses squabble over dumb shit, so I just checked out.

      Every time I tried to get people to see the bigger picture, I was met with derision and ostracization.

      Ya’ll wanna squabble over dumb shit? Go right ahead. You just won’t have me helping you.
