Feb 2020

Bernie got a PRIVATE briefing a month ago.

The House Intel Committee got a briefing a week ago.

- No other Senators got a briefing.

- No other Democrats AT ALL got a briefing until a week ago.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

A LOT to read. I think the others didn't find out till last week when they got a classified brief. jmg257 Feb 2020 #1

I think that if Dems leadership was told and it was their choice to tell or not tell, nothing and Autumn Feb 2020 #2

They'd have been at microphones by the end of the day ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #5

Yep - once it went public with trump last week, all bets were off on keeping it secret. jmg257 Feb 2020 #11

The Post article says that members of the House Intelligence Committee were totodeinhere Feb 2020 #6

It's really not that difficult Prue Feb 2020 #7

Uh-huh ... okay ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #18

I'm not a fly Prue Feb 2020 #20

If you're Bernie, and only YOU know ... you have NO IDEA whether this was a complete set-up by Trump mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #24

You're peddling a Trump talking point Prue Feb 2020 #26

Yes - seems so..."security official delivered a briefing to lawmakers last week" jmg257 Feb 2020 #13

See my post #18 ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #21

Almost as long as the OP..Ill pass. Bernie does not argue re: who or how he was told. jmg257 Feb 2020 #22

This isn't something like 'Hey, Bernie, your wife is getting some on the side' ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #27

They did the same thing with trump in 2016. Why is it so hard to believe? jmg257 Feb 2020 #28

Because that was a different time, and because Obama was in charge mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #32

Im not telling you anything -really. I actually forget what the point was! Bernie knew a month ago jmg257 Feb 2020 #33

Okay ... well the whole point of the post is to try to figure out logically ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #35

I agree. But he has to know its a bad look, so why not say why? Someone from his campaign jmg257 Feb 2020 #37

I think this is over complicated stopdiggin Feb 2020 #12

Your whole long post is based on a lie CalFione Feb 2020 #14

The public knew!! It was all over the news a week ago when they found out! jmg257 Feb 2020 #23

The only Democrats that we're briefed were the House intel committee CalFione Feb 2020 #25
