Do you really believe Joe Biden isn't getting security briefings?

[Cyrano]

Do you really believe that our intelligence agencies are ignoring reality?

Do you really believe that leaders of the FBI, CIA, etc. don't know that Trump is insane?

Do you really believe that career people dedicated to our national security wouldn't brief Biden?

Do you really believe that the pros in these agencies don't understand reality?

Of course, there's no way I can prove what I'm saying here. But I do believe that there are true patriots at top levels of our government who won't bow to the whims of a madman. I believe that Joe Biden is learning everything he needs to know before taking over the reins of power.

1. I honestly don't know what to belive any more.

We live in a dystopian universe.

[Cyrano]

4. Yes. But there are still many sane, competent people in

positions of power and influence. Don't give in to despair. Hang on. Sanity is on the way on January 20, 2021.

[Siwsan]

2. I think he knows WAY more than trump* realizes (or maybe knows, himself??)

Just a theory, mind you.

[TDale313]

3. Do you think it's completely fubar

Whether people are defying this dictator wannabe or not? Cause they may well be breaking many, many rules and laws if they do decide to ignore directives.

[Cyrano]

9. Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, et. al. ignored many rules.

[TDale313]

12. You missed my point.

Whether there are people going out of their way and risking their necks to right this wrong... it’s still emphatically wrong that this admin is attempting to undermine the peaceful transition of power and faith in our elections. They don’t get a pass cause they aren’t actually that good at staging a coup.

[Spazito]

5. I think the issue is that Biden is not receiving any PDBs....

Biden has been receiving intel briefings since at least July, 2020 from what I read:

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he is receiving intelligence briefings and warned Friday about Russian interference in the 2020 election.

[Phoenix61]

6. Obama is allowed briefings as a past president.

I don’t think he would break intelligence protocol but if something came up that was critical I think we would see a huge push from the Biden camp for access.

[Autumn]

7. Yes I do believe that. I also believe there are no patriots at the top levels of our government,

Trump and Mitch took care of that.

[Mme. Defarge]

8. Had this discussion last night

with a friend who once worked for the CIA. When I offered this speculation she emphatically and without hesitation said that she was absolutely certain of it.

[NewDayOranges]

23. Certain of what? Certain that he IS being briefed or

Certain that he IS NOT being briefed! Which is it? Thanks.

[Mme. Defarge]

24. Is being briefed.

[irisblue]

10. I'm am sure that MI6, Mossad,General Directorate for External Security, and the others

know a few guys...

[TrishaJ]

17. Yes! I'm thinking the intelligence agencies of our ailies

would share critical info with Biden if necessary.

[2naSalit]

20. +1

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Maybe he is in some fashion, but he should be seeing the PDBs

so he knows what info Trump is getting (not that His Lardship pays attention to it).

[blueinredohio]

13. I don't know if there are any real patriots.

They all voted republican even though they know how crooked republicans are.

[GoCubsGo]

14. I believe he is not getting formal briefings.

But, like you, I am sure he gets indirect, informal briefings from various intelligence personnel. He may not be getting EVERYTHING he needs to know, but what he is being told is likely the most vital information he needs.

[maxsolomon]

15. Haspel is not publicly defying the White House.

Neither is the NSA or FBI. They appear to be compliant with Trump's defiance.

I want this farce over.

I want my 2 Dem Senators to start screaming on TV and slapping McConnell in his wattle until he acknowledges reality. But I haven't heard a peep from them. It is disconcerting.

[Brother Buzz]

16. Biden's been getting the 'Readers Digest' edition of the security briefings for months

It's the long version that is being held back. The same PDB the orange anus ignores. The same PDF that often raises question that Biden should be able to ask about and receive more detailed answers, which is something the orange anus has NEVER done.

[Mike 03]

18. I'd really like to believe this and maybe it's true.

After reading Peter Strzok's book, one thing that struck me is how "by the book" they are. My only fear would be that jumping out of line to give Biden briefings "off the record" might lead to serious consequences.

But it's definitely possible. I honest to god hope this is happening.

[flor-de-jasmim]

19. I hope he's getting the long-form briefings--who cares if he gets the 1-page picture-synopsis?

[Demsrule86]

21. Yes, they follow orders. Until, Trump gives the word ...no briefings.

[Rice4VP]

22. Well, it would probably be illegal to give it

to him without authorization. Kamala is on several important committees so she is still getting them.

However, why would they trust anything these Trump cronies say?

[ColoradoBlue]

25. Read something earlier...

That said that Biden's team is under strict instructions NOT to have contact with anyone in the Trump administration for fear it could undermine any legal strategy they may have to employ in the future. They are, however, speaking with former Trump staffers. The article said that the short tenure that is so common with this administration has definitely worked in Biden's favor.

[Massacure]

26. Even if he isn't receiving briefings, he still has access to classified information.

32 CFR 1909 specifies that Presidents and Vice Presidents are entitled to continued access to classified information, and that their former political appointees are entitled to whatever information they had access to during their time of employment.
