No more briefings
Oh, ok, fine. Two months before the election the DNI stops briefing Congress on election security. Brilliant plan.
They might as well be sending out embossed announcements on heavy paper saying “We are helping Trump steal the election, you’re welcome.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has informed the House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence that it will no longer be briefing on election security issues, a senior administration official told CNN. It will provide written updates, the official said.
The official added that other agencies supporting election security, including the Department of Justice, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, intend to continue briefing Congress.
For now. For a few more hours. Maybe. Expect a memo from each of them shortly.
It’s odd that they can do that. I mean, Congress is not some subordinate branch to the President, and it isn’t a courtesy that they do this. It is how our government functions. Briefings to Congress should be required, and if they are not, then someone screwed up royally in writing election laws.
