If trump isn't convicted does that mean he still gets security briefings still?

[duforsure]

Isn't that a National Security threat? He'd use them for him and his family to profit from. Maybe another attempted coup.

Imagine how little he’ll care when the omelette station awaits.

3. Yeah, no pictures, tiny type, and his name appearing nowhere.

He'd never read it. It's never been all that clear that he ever could.

2. On The Lincoln Project's podcast last night they said it will be President Biden's choice

4. Thank goodness

7. Yes. Biden can shut that down. Which he will.

Trump will be largely ignored. I'm sure the ex-presidents club will not include him in their rare gatherings.

But a lot of books will be written about this time. The further out we get, the more the books will try to answer the question why did the people let this happen?

10. This

They'll give him something, but it will also have disinformation in it so they can look for where it ends up.

And Trump curtailed Clinton's and Obama's security briefings.

Personally, I don't see why they get it at all, they aren't President, they have no need to know.

11. Former presidents are often considered a resource for sitting ones.

Think Biden and Obama for example.

[Buckeyeblue]

12. And former presidents still have a great deal of contact and influence with world leaders

As such, they need to understand which way the wind is blowing.

[mobeau69]

13. Yes, a big part of their value as a resource. Of course all this not relevant to Orange Nixon.

5. That's my understanding too

Wonder if that’s a first where outgoing president will be denied. We’ve already seen Trumps pattern of sharing secrets while in office. Trump will be selling national security to highest bidder post presidency.

6. Like the CIA, NSA etc. would tell him anything worth a shot.

8. Biden can stop those I tnink.

9. Trump doesn't read,

but Putin knows how to use English to Russian Google translate.
