He said, "I receive lots of intelligence briefings that I don't share with the public."

As does every other member of Congress.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
Wouldn't Bernie have said this instead of you? n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #1

"Don't" and "can't" are different things. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #5
Oh good grief. Newsflash: there's a massive amount of information we know nothing about. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #6
If you had watched what Bernie had said before you posted.... rzemanfl Feb 2020 #9
You're the one who asked why he didn't say anything about the briefing being classified. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #11
I read his statement, which said nothing about it. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #12
So you based your post on what you suspected and I based mine on what I read rzemanfl Feb 2020 #15
I don't know which statement you're referring to, but the fact is it was the first thing he said... Garrett78 Feb 2020 #17
Thank you for the link. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #18

You are desperately spinning. Blue_true Feb 2020 #2
Every member of Congress receives numerous intelligence briefings that aren't made public. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #4
Ok, now that it is public, Warren, Klobuchar and Gabbard have so far Blue_true Feb 2020 #7
Why would they do that? What purpose would it serve? Garrett78 Feb 2020 #16
Well for one, you keep claiming that Sanders acknowledged it because Blue_true Feb 2020 #19
Can you provide everyone a link to Bernie's statement on what and when Blue_true Feb 2020 #21
Poster did, see above. Thanks for asking. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #24
Sanders was briefed BlueIdaho Feb 2020 #33
I was thinking the same thing nt democrattotheend Feb 2020 #8
spin, spin, spin CalFione Feb 2020 #10
It's not spin. It's completely normal. Every member of Congress would tell you the same thing. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #13
This was a little bigger than your average intel briefing CalFione Feb 2020 #14
+1, Sanders owed it to America to denounce outside involvement the second he found out. He could've uponit7771 Feb 2020 #22
Like Obama did? JudyM Feb 2020 #30
Why didn't Sanders denounce outside involvement in US elections when he found out? He could've been uponit7771 Feb 2020 #20
He's denounced Russian interference on numerous occasions without exposing sensitive info. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #25
I think you are right still_one Feb 2020 #26
Not issue for me. Question is why do they prefer Sanders? Can't think of good reason. Hoyt Feb 2020 #27
They want Trump to win. gulliver Feb 2020 #32
Exactly, and it ain't a good reason for us. Heck, it's not good if they want him. Hoyt Feb 2020 #34
I think the sole objective is to cause discord. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #35
This is ridiculous criticism IMHO ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #28
And that's what most here would be saying if it was any other candidate. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #29
Obama was excused for doing this, remember... JudyM Feb 2020 #31
Cool story bro. comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #36
