Donald Trump’s decision to offer up a politicized readout of his confidential national security briefings has set off alarm bells in the intelligence community, with some high-profile former officials warning the Republican nominee crossed a “red line.”

During the NBC’s Commander-in-Chief forum on Wednesday night, Trump said “there was one thing that shocked me” from the briefings he received, going on to say that he could tell that government officials were unhappy with President Barack Obama for not following expert advice.

“I was pretty good with the body language,” Trump said.

But former officials with decades of experience in the intelligence community say Trump is bluffing — that trained government officers wouldn’t have betrayed such opinions.

4. Hmm, I think 'projecting' would be a more accurate word choice than 'bluffing'.

6. Putin called. Wondered if his friend had any more coded messages?

That's gotta be tough, trying to find ways to pass that stuff on which doesn't make one look like one is being a traitor.

Maybe he will figure out how some day.

8. Terrible breach of protocol...

terrible. Not just that he editorialized about it, it casts doubt in the public eye for our intelligence community. They were just recovering from all the shit the Bush administration pulled on them.

How anybody could think he was trustworthy after that gaffe astounds me.
