    America’s top intelligence officials issued a rare rebuke of some media reports

    Two of America’s top intelligence officials issued a rare rebuke of some media reports about President Donald Trump’s intelligence briefings, saying they contained assertions that "are false, unproductive and harmful to our nation’s security."
    "Speculation, including that from former and unnamed intelligence officers, about what occurs in our Oval Office briefings is wrong," according to a joint statement from Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel, which was provided to ABC News. "Simply put, these anonymous sources are not there as we deliver timely, unbiased intelligence and work alongside an engaged and knowledgeable President on the most complex national security issues."

    So it sounds like some in the media a running off at the mouth once again in their campaign against Trump..... Maybe their "Sources with knowledge of the situation" are not as knowledgeable as they claim...

    The coup leaders will stop at nothing to undermine the President. The false narrative that he wants a thimble size briefing, can't read, doesn't attend etc. has been put out there further that narrative. Nudge... Nudge....

    So either the media or the government is lying? Now that's a toss up.

    These coup attempts will not stop as long as we leave the coup plotters alive. We have a good idea who they are. Where is the Justice Department? Where are the Republicans?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Not for those who hook, line, and sinker swallow every pile of manure spread by the media.

    From the link to the article from abc...
    Trump: "I get it when I need it," Trump said in an interview with Fox News. "These are very good people that are giving me the briefings. ... You know, I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. ... I don’t need that. But I do say, 'If something should change, let us know.'"

    Maybe they should have slammed Trump and FOX News as they were the source.
