Did You Catch... -Trump Intel Briefing

[WiffenPoof]

One of the commentators on MSNBC mentioned that he had heard through reliable sources that Trump continued to interrupt the security briefing with questions to the point where Chris Christie had to touch his hand so that Trump would shut up and listen. Apparently the briefers are not used to a large number of questions during the briefing...breaking the flow of information.

Yet another example of Trumps inability to keep his mouth shut because he believes he knows more than anyone else in the room.

This man cannot go through a day without demonstrating how unqualified he is for the Presidency.

-P

On Edit: Yes, I know that "reliable sources" can mean anything. However, in this case I believe it is true.

Meanwhile, three people with knowledge of the matter told NBC News that one of the advisers Trump brought to the briefing, retired general Mike Flynn, repeatedly interrupted the briefing with pointed questions.

Christie, the New Jersey governor and Trump adviser, touched Flynn's arm in an effort get him to calm down and let the officials continue, one of the sources said. Requests for comment from Flynn and Christie were not immediately returned.

about Flynn

On April 30, 2014, Flynn announced his retirement effective later in 2014, about a year earlier than he had been scheduled to leave his position. He was reportedly effectively forced out of the DIA after clashing with superiors over his "management style" and vision for the agency.

In retirement, Flynn was described by the Washington Post as "not hostile to Russia," while Michael Crowley of Vox described Flynn as having "an odd affection for Russia and its authoritarian government."

After retiring from service with the U.S. government, Flynn began appearing semi-regularly as an analyst on RT, a Kremlin-aligned English-language news outlet. In 2015, Flynn attended a gala dinner in Moscow in honor of RT, where he was seated two seats away from Russian president Vladimir Putin. Before attending the event, Flynn gave a paid talk on world affairs to a group; Flynn defended the Russian payment in an interview with Michael Isikoff. Journalist Michael Crowley of Politico reported that "At a moment of semi-hostility between the U.S. and Russia, the presence of such an important figure at Putin's table startled" U.S. officials.

I think Flynn reports directly back to Putin.

7. Flynn the 'mole'.

Wonder if he longs for the days of the old KGB? (sigh)

2. I heard it was Gen. Michael Flynn

who was interrupting.

3. It was nutball Gen.Flynn, who is Trump's rival for the hand of Putin.

4. Oh Boy...Sorry

I thought it was Trump.

5. Why is he even allowed to bring other people to a briefing?

Isn't it supposed to be about classified stuff? If he can have Christie and some retired general there, how about telling all of us what was said?

6. Actually it was Gen Flynn that kept

interrupting until Christie put a stop to it. Donnie probably just sat there will a dazed expression on his face.
