Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the U.S. Intelligence Community should “dumb down” briefings for former President Trump when he receives classified information as the eventual GOP nominee, voicing concerns about whether Trump could share the information.

Schiff hit Trump on his criminal charges for mishandling classified information and other legal cases in an NBC “Meet the Press” interview Sunday.

“We’ve never had a situation where one of the candidates for president has been so criminally negligent when it comes to handling — if not worse — classified information,” Schiff said. “So I have to hope, and knowing the Intelligence Community as I do, that they will dumb down the briefing for Donald Trump.”

      I would have preferred Porter by far. But I was expecting Schiff to win and figured it was OK. Then, the way he ran the primary, I’ve lost so fucking much respect for the guy.

      Can’t have people who legitimately challenge the ruling class.

      That’s why even after Hillary lost to Trump, the democrats just pivoted to Biden.

      This species is fucked because we want it to be. We’re too weak/stupid/greedy/corrupt to do the hard work to fix the problems we’ve caused.
