8. So Biden gets copies of the cartoons they make for Trump in lieu of detailed reports?

Would Biden be able to ask for the documentation behind those cartoons. In other words, could Biden get the real information Trump is unwilling or unable to understand?

"Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said on Friday he is now getting intelligence briefings, and has been told Russia continues to try to meddle in November’s U.S. election."
“We know from before, and I guarantee you that I know now, because now I get briefings again. The Russians are still engaged in trying to delegitimize our electoral process. Fact,” Biden said.

He would be hesitant to involve someone in a technically illegal disclosure. From the other side, I am sure there is a strong desire from career professionals to give him the skinny.

Security briefings because he had been VP? Isn't PBO entitled to receive them?

been given the Daily Briefs once they receive their Parties nomination since Nixon I believe. Do recall Obama making sure Trump received a Daily brief once he was the GOP Nominee. Understand,the DNI at the time,altered the Brief once it was determined there was direct links between his campaign and Moscow.
