We are talking about Trump's Administration here. He has compromised so many agencies in the government (for example: CDC; FDA; USPS; etc) could Biden really believe what he is being told in these 'classified intelligence briefings'?

What if Biden is being given 'fake or doctored' info? Could there be a problem here or at least a problem in the making?

I'm sorry I'm so suspicious these days but I've come to the position that I don't believe anything coming out of the Trump Administration.

What say you?

The info Biden receives.

And I wonder if this has anything to do with Wray's public candor about the threat that Russia represents. Maybe Biden knows more about the inside story now as well...

Yes,am sure Biden and Harris were getting a limited brief until today. Lot's of crap has happened since Biden and Harris were officially nominated. Notice that Intel Briefings have resumed once the DNI and others were informed by Speaker Pelosi that they were in Violation of a 1947 law stating that intel briefs have to happen for specific Government officials as well incoming Presidential Candidates.

A public announcement would be nice.

It would show voters that Joe is a standup guy, and expose Trump as a President who dares not to criticize Putin.
