Exclusive: Classified Memo Tells Intelligence Analysts to Keep Trump's Daily Brief Short

[JohnnyApplesack]

The spooks are probably giving Trump random numbers instead of the nukes codes.........Trump having the nukes codes is similar to an arsonist having a flame thrower....


~Keep it short and free of nuance—that is the new guidance that has recently circulated to some intelligence analysts who compile materials for the President's Daily Brief on security threats around the globe.

The classified guidance, which was reviewed by Mother Jones, suggests that President Donald Trump's daily national security briefing contains far less information than the daily reports presented by the intelligence community to past presidents—and about a quarter of the information President Barack Obama received.

"The guidance states that analysts should only include facts that support their analyses, and it explains that topics presented in the PDB will not be covered from different perspectives in separate briefings.

That means that dissenting or conflicting views might not be presented to Trump. Obama's PDB did include dissenting information, when appropriate, according to a former top CIA official with direct knowledge of the PDB."

Mother Jones? Seriously? The pothead op-ed writer doesn't understand what the words mean. There is nothing preventing any point of view, they just want it to be supported with facts. Something liberals struggle with.

I'm sure Mother Jones actually saw a classified report. LOL It's one of those “a highly reliable source said UFO's exist" type stories. The left so desperately wants to believe them that they scarf up anything that will bolster their preconceived wishes no matter how far fetched.

Let me get this straight... the CIA is keeping secrets from the president, but they cant keep that in itself a secret from the general public? Ummm, what?
