38. Remember that shortly after the transfer to Biden

Jul 2023

Joe came out and publicly announced in February of 2021 that the Orange Ruski would no longer receive any intel briefings like has been done with all previous former Presidents. Joe cited erratic behavior as the reason and stated it predated Jan 6. Some authors of books written about the final months say he never got one after Thanksgiving of 2020. That makes me wonder if the intel community, which had been wary all along, got on really heightened alert from any intel they were getting about what was being plotted by the crazies. I include a link here to the NYT article and apologize for the pay wall etc. I'm too old to remember how to defeat it.
