If they briefed Trump, they briefed the Gang of 8 and perhaps the full Intel Committees.
Remember that Intel briefing where everybody walked out shocked and pale faced? I do.
The Repubs torpedoed the House investigation. The Senators maintained silence for security reasons.
I'm not surprised that shit is starting to leak out. The Intel community has to be fuming and secrets like this will come out.

(7,587 posts)They should have divulged on the floor of Congress. Instead they let this go on for a year and a half.

(318 posts)Regardless, he's been a horrid human being for a very long time. I hope he dies in disgrace. Petty, I know, but he has hurt so many people. There is an exceptionally twisted mind behind those beady little eyes.

(58,437 posts)The article says all the Intel heads were in on briefing Trump. They brief the Gang of Eight on a regular basis in a SCIF. I cannot believe that this was not shared with Congress. Trump may not follow protocol, but the Intel chiefs do.
I distinctly remember at least one closed briefing where several Senators walked out white as ghosts. They couldn't answer any questions bacause Classified, but they were obviously upset. I suspect that is when it was first presented to them.

(58,437 posts)all the Dems can do is talk and propose legislation. Repubs don't have to do anything if they don't want to.
If the Dems say too much, they get into trouble for leaking confidential info. They really are in a bind.

(15,388 posts)Hillary said during the election that she was briefed and Trump received the same briefings. Why is this just coming up now?

(21,526 posts)Putin's agents no doubt briefed them before it even started.
AlexSFCA
(6,137 posts)that was so highly classified docs with names and specifics that only about 5 people in the entire country had seen it. My understanding is that trump transmitted the names of cia informants to putin; they are likey dead now.
blueinredohio
(6,797 posts)Yet no one said a word. I would think this would be something the American people should have known from the start of this whole mess. So from my understanding republicans already knew what Russians were doing and they were in on it.
