Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the U.S. Intelligence Community should “dumb down” briefings for former President Trump when he receives classified information as the eventual GOP nominee, voicing concerns about whether Trump could share the information.

Schiff hit Trump on his criminal charges for mishandling classified information and other legal cases in an NBC “Meet the Press” interview Sunday.

“We’ve never had a situation where one of the candidates for president has been so criminally negligent when it comes to handling — if not worse — classified information,” Schiff said. “So I have to hope, and knowing the Intelligence Community as I do, that they will dumb down the briefing for Donald Trump.”

    Are you talking about the Russia collusion thing where his campaign staff were found guilty of a bunch of felonies and he wasn’t charged because a “president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office”? Where Mueller basically said: I’m not allowed to say he’s guilty, but I can tell you he’s not not guilty. That one?

      Yes, but can you tell me the information Adam had seen that trump was guilty?

        I doubt such information would be public, but given that Trump publically invited Russia to interfere in the campaign, I’d certainly consider it plausible he also did so in private. Seems like a heck of stretch to go from that to “liar” and “corrupt”.

          There was the durham report that explained exactly what happened, and there was literally nothing connecting trump to russia. So Adam claimed there was to get political gain and make trump look guilty. How can you not be angry with a proved liar politician.
