That would be a terrible breach of security. Unless your fat ass is painted Orange.

Why would a sitting U.S. president cut his predecessor out from the daily IC briefings? What is it Trump doesn't want Mr. Biden to know?

There's no way President Biden would have done something like this to the Orange One.

What do comments made by Robert Hur have to do with anything?

I somehow doubt we will find a huge stash of super duper top secret classified information in the Bidens bathroom.

Mike Pence also had some classified documents, but they weren't intentionally stolen, nor shared with our adversaries.

The original premise was that Biden would never have done that to TFG. Except that he did.

Goalposts moved to, yeah, well he deserved it for having classified documents at his home. Except that Biden also had classified documents at his home.

Now goalposts moved again to, "Yeah, but those were old, and not in the bathroom." What does the age of the documents have to do with it (and yes, not in his bathroom, but in his garage).

19. Biden did not have the same type of documents that Trump had.

Biden did not lie and say he didn't have them like Trump did.

Biden did not try to hide them like Trump did.

Biden did not smuggle them out of the White House like Trump did.

Trump deserved his daily briefings to be revoked. Just look at what he is doing now as an example of how he is.

Your attempt at equivalency is ridiculous.

employees beings fired, besides untrustworthy information run by other fascist regimes around the world. He has pissed off all our allies so they won’t be sharing anything with his administration either. And they don’t trust him or to give it/sell it to the world’s strongmen, especially Poots.

Of all the people I would want to have the security clearance. OTOH, Joe, enjoy the rest of your life.
