Harry Reid: Give Trump "fake intelligence briefings … because you can't trust him."

Calls have increased for Republican nominee Donald Trump to be denied national security briefings offered to presidential nominees of major political parties after he said he hopes Russia is "able to find" Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's discarded private emails.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said he hopes the candidate is given "fake intelligence briefings … because you can't trust him."

And Democratic Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island has sent a letter to President Barack Obama saying Trump "is unfit to receive sensitive intelligence" and asks that he "withhold" Trump's expected intelligence briefing.

A petition by the liberal group CREDO has amassed more than 80,000 signatories in less than 24 hours urging that Trump receive no security briefings.

Then have the CIA's agents in Moscow watch for it to show up in Russian intel circles.

How much do you want to bet they'll find some?
