Summary

Despite concerns over Donald Trump’s past mishandling of classified information, including an FBI raid at his home in 2022, the Biden Administration is preparing to grant him access to national security briefings as part of a standard presidential transition.

This approach aligns with tradition, although intelligence experts are apprehensive, given Trump’s history of allegedly revealing sensitive information, notably to Russian officials.

Trump’s team is negotiating terms for office space and transition protocols but previously delayed signing a formal agreement with the General Services Administration.

Some Trump advisers have proposed bypassing standard security clearance procedures for incoming staff.

Last time they had to dumb down the briefings and draw pictures so the stupid fuck could follow along. This time they should just make them as highly technical as possible. Bore him to sleep for the security of the nation.

You're talking as if the people giving the briefings aren't about to all be fired and replaced with MAGA loyalist sycophants.

The thing about sycophants is that they don't tend to be very competent. I expect replacing people in crucial positions will be the start of the end for the US as a superpower.

at least they will have no idea what they're doing.

Make all reports 50 pages long, mostly context, and very little actual Intel. That way, anybody actually reading it can't pass it on. Gonna make a "didn't specifically asked, didn't tell" policy.

No, all he's really looking for is the affirmation he never got from his father. Fill the classified briefings with quotes from people who love him. Leave the details out of it.

I remember reading that the people who wrote the briefings last time had to make sure his name appeared in any section they wanted him to read, otherwise he's just skip it.
