Trump turning away intelligence briefers since election win
Officials involved in the Trump transition team cautioned against assigning any significance to the briefing schedule that the president-elect has set so far, noting that he has been immersed in the work of forming his administration, and has made filling key national security posts his top priority.

But others have interpreted Trump’s limited engagement with his briefing team as an additional sign of indifference from a president-elect who has no meaningful experience on national security issues and was dismissive of U.S. intelligence agencies’ capabilities and findings during the campaign.

Not sure it's a good idea to dismiss intelligence reports. Remember what happened to Bush Jr. when he ignored intelligence reports?

No, no. These are the same ones that Obama has skipped for years.

Funny how the left are already shifting responsibility to Trump (even though Obama is still in office) while at the same time saying he isn't "their president".

LMAO @ "But Bush"

2869 days since he left office.

From the same person who in addition to making jokes in threads about dead children has made multiple posts about how we need to stop talking about Hillary.

On the one hand, it is questionable. On the other hand, does two or three weeks make a difference? I mean he hasn't been getting them for the past 8-10 years or anything. He is going to have to play catchup anyway. I get it should be the sooner the better, but in the scheme of things, you sort of have to prioritize the level of angst, and this doesn't appear to be the worst as of now.

Of course he does. The intel hacks are guessing. Trump has actually read everyone's emails.

Hopefully two or three weeks won't make a difference. If it does, we will find out that is for sure.

Intel briefings aren't something anyone should be skipping.

I agree. Someone better be on the ball on this. We can't afford to have another 9/11 attack.

The White House has a intelligence-focused Presidential Daily Brief scheduled for President Obama. But, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Institute, the President has attended 42.1% of them since he was sworn in.

Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings?

doh!!! Liberals have a problem with Trump skipping briefings but not with President Oblunder skipping them... damn 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

So you as well are easily fooled by fake news.?

You should probably look that one up....

yeah... can you go ahead and tell me what was fake about those articles? 07-coffee3

So 9/11 happened because Bush skipped intel briefings? Is there anything y'all won't blame on him?

Maybe if O hadn't skipped his intel briefings, there wouldn't have been 36 successful fatal terrorist attacks during his time in office. 07-coffee3

He will be brought up to speed when he finalizes his cabinet and administration hires. Not a giant deal unless he drags all of this out for several more weeks.
