Harry Reid To Intel Community: Give Donald Trump Fake Briefings

“How would the CIA and the other intelligence agencies brief this guy? How could they do that? I would suggest to the intelligence agencies, if you’re forced to brief this guy, don’t tell him anything, just fake it, because this man is dangerous,” Reid said in an interview with The Huffington Post Wednesday afternoon. “Fake it, pretend you’re doing a briefing, but you can’t give the guy any information.”

What I mean by that is feed him some bullshit and tell him it's super-duper-uber-secret, that only he and a handful of others know about it. Then wait and see if either that info or intimations regarding that info start suddenly showing up in the media somewhere. If so, arrest his ass.

That may be considered entrapment, but hey - if this fucking guy really is that loose of a cannon, he should not in any way or ever be anywhere close to actual sensitive information.

this at the highest levels well before this. No doubt with revisits, reports, memos, meetings, briefings as the GOP's madness, and as it turns out the Kremlin's assistance, brought him closer and closer to this day.

Patriotism goes right out the window for republicans if the Benedict Arnold is one of their own like Trump.
