Ali Velshi just said Trump considered denying Obama security briefings.

Trump is insane.

[BigmanPigman]

1. Of course he did.

Obama was probably on the top of this list and many other actions he took that are completely insane.

2. I don't have cable news channels. WHEN did Dolt45 want to deny briefings?

After the January 2017 inauguration?

3. They are going to do a full report now.

Trump wanted to block Obama from receiving intelligence briefings. Last year, as Trump was publicly attacking Obama, some aides pushed for Trump to revoke security clearance for Obama.

Spring 2017.

This was the idea of the nut job nationalists in The White House who saw Obama and some of the Obama "holdovers" as the enemy.

4. Is that before or after the Press became the enemy?

[madaboutharry]

5. I think the press was the enemy from before the election.

Remember how he pointed out Katy Tur at a rally and ranted about fake news?

9. Thank you for the information. N/T

6. Next thing you know

they’ll try to ban microwave ovens

7. Gen. McMaster reportedly stopped Trump from taking away security clearances

including Pres. Obama's when the extremists in WH suggested that last year.

8. It's my understanding that

Presidents don't need security clearance, they receive it by virtue of getting elected. Which makes sense given there is NO way Donnie could pass a real security clearance investigation. The things about refusing briefings rings very probable.
