What Really Happened at Trump’s Intelligence Briefing

"SNIP................



“As U.S. officials cast doubt on Donald Trump’s claim he read the ‘body language’ of intelligence officials at a recent briefing, NBC News has learned exclusive details of what unfolded in the room — one of Trump’s advisers repeatedly interrupted the briefers until Chris Christie intervened.”

“U.S. official pointed out that intelligence officers don’t give policy advice, so it would be inaccurate to say that Obama failed to follow the advice of the intelligence community. A second U.S. official said analysts are trained not to allow their body language to betray their thinking. Meanwhile, four people with knowledge of the matter told NBC News that one of the advisers Trump brought to the briefing, retired general Mike Flynn, repeatedly interrupted the briefing with pointed questions.”

“Two sources said Christie, the New Jersey governor and Trump adviser, verbally restrained Flynn — one saying Christie said, ‘Shut up,’ the other reporting he said, ‘Calm down.’ Two other sources said Christie touched Flynn’s arm in an effort get him to calm down and let the officials continue.”

1. I guess it's OK with Flynn for Drumpf to lie through his teeth. Stand-up guy.

8. If it's okay with Matt Lauer, America's wake up tall glass of ice tea, it should be okay w/ Flynn

America's "go to sleep so the nuclear fireballs won't hurt as much"

4. I kind of don't like this any more than Trump's comments...

It's all a violation of security protocols, and somehow "Trump started it" just doesn't make me feel any better.

Hillary handled it well on the airport tarmac. "I don't comment on security briefings."

5. I don't know-- it seems fair to comment on what Trump's team did as long as they avoid the content

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. The FOX "News" "educated" folks have a twisted view of the world....

The intelligence briefing didn't fit the propaganda.

Wanna know something funny?

7. Now Christie says it's all lies.

None of that happened.

So basically, half the people in charge of the most top secret info in the world are all liars, according to team Trump. And the other half hate our government.

"I can scarcely comprehend that 40-45% of the American people are going to vote for this complete shitshow of a candidate and campaign."

How do I wrap my head around this?
