Ron Johnson, chair of Senate Homeland Security, to pool on Biden Intel briefings

"In general, from what I've seen, intelligence briefings are really not worth a whole hell of a lot."

Q - What do you mean?

Johnson: "Based on what we see in the SCIF, they don't have much value."

1. Come on Wisconsin. Come on.

Yall can do better than this.

[Aristus]

2. They were on August 9th, 2001.

How quickly they forget...

[gratuitous]

3. See, Sen. Johnson

Intelligence needs a medium suitable for comprehension and growth. Intelligence briefings find very poor soil with you.

[NewDayOranges]

4. So then there's no reason NOT to give them to the

President- Elect and Vice-President Elect, right?

[OLDMDDEM]

5. He is

an idiot. Totally unqualified to even be a U.S. senator.

[soothsayer]

6. Russian asset says what?

[BBG]

10. Exactly

Beat me to it

[Maeve]

7. The value depends on three things--the intel, the briefer and the briefed

Johnson ain't the brightest "briefed"

[gohuskies]

8. Ron Johnson is a very dangerous imbecile and Putin poodle

How he managed to win election as a U.S. senator dumbfounds me. He has to be one of the dumbest members in Congress next to Louis Gohmert and a willing Putin puppet.

[Spazito]

9. The Russian asset says this...

shocker.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Ron Johnson's intellegence doesn't amount to a whole lot

Fixed it for you

[Yeehah]

12. "Bin Laden determined to strike inside US"

STFU traitorous scum Ron Johnson.

[exboyfil]

13. Seems like a pattern for Republicans

[still_one]

14. Ron Johnson really isn't worth a whole hell of a lot!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. If they are received by idiots, he is probably correct.

[dubyadiprecession]

16. If Doug Jones didn't belong in senate for Alabama.

That piece of shit named Ron Johnson needs his dumbass flung out in the next election!
In case nobody got a chance to tell you yet today,Ron.
Fuck you!!

[greenjar_01]

17. Whatever makes you feel better, shithead

The childish dirt-kicking as they are forced to accept defeat is truly delicious.

"Yeah, I guess Biden has to be briefed, but briefings don't matter anyway, hmmph."

What a fucking baby.

[genxlib]

18. They don't have much value

I know because I have tried to sell them.

[gibraltar72]

19. Russia does a much better job.

[unblock]

20. yet any barely classified info on hillary's email server was a national security catastrophe?

[unblock]

21. he's probably right. i bet the intel folks aren't sharing anything of consequence with donnie et al.

they know a security risk when they see one.

[Nevilledog]

24. It's not like Russia would pay him for Intel on........Russia.

[unblock]

25. ah. but maybe china would.

[BGBD]

28. They would

It wouldn't be about learning something about themselves....it would be about learning what we know about them and using that to figure out who our assets there are.

Our sources and methods are the most important secret we have.

[Nevilledog]

29. I don't believe our sources and methods continue to be secret.

[BGBD]

30. If they weren't

they would be dead.

[rustysgurl]

22. To borrow from my father ...

"If it's no big deal to you, why should it be a big deal to exclude Biden from the reports?"

If there's really nothing to hide, because they aren't worth much, then why not share away (other than the fact you are a petulant, whiny Republican man-baby)?

[Roland99]

23. Not for trump. Because the intelligence community determined he was a threat.

For Biden, it’s going to be a completely different story. He’ll be getting the full scoop.

[Dem2]

26. Then why block them?

Unless there's something to hide?

[spanone]

27. Obviously you can be a dumbfuck and a senator at the same time.
