He Would Explode: Ex-CIA Officer Says Intel Officers are Terrified to Brief Trump on Russia

Donald Trump is not a very big fan of briefings. He is not briefed anywhere near as much as his predecessors. The memos to Trump also have to be broken down in ways that he can more easily understand them.

And there are some subjects that Trump isn’t briefed on at all. And these are subjects that would make him especially upset. Chief among these is the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During a recent interview with GQ correspondent Julia Ioffe, 26 year CIA veteran Marc Polymeropoulos tried to explain why this was the case. He told Ioffe, “No one’s going to brief anything on Russia to the president.” - PoliticusUSA

In other words tRump makes everyone one of us less safe because HE CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH.

2. I think the only briefing Donny should receive is an atomic wedgie

3. That's because he speaks with Putin in person on the phone.

He gets his orders from his master and no one else can know what they discuss. If there are any notes/records they are the secret W House safe and will be shredded before he leaves office.

4. "Intel Officers are Terrified"

5. I think their fear comes from leaking important intel on Russia to Trump

which would end up going back in Putin's ears.
