All I can do is guess. Having said that, I believe that intelligence leaders withhold specific facts from Trump because they believe he'll pass it on to Putin.
Let's face it. "The Manchurian Candidate", so to speak, is now the president of the United States..
The heads of the various intelligence agencies, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and others, are not stupid people. But the do know that the president is one of the stupidest people in the world. And they strongly suspect that Putin owns him. (Pick your reason -- pee whores and/or goat fucking on tape -- money laundering -- massive income tax fraud -- who knows?) And they fear that whatever sensitive information they pass on to him will end up in the Kremlin in an hour.
Perhaps, someday in the future, the American people will be informed of what actually took place during this insane reign of Trump. But for right now, all we can do is speculate. And that speculation seems to indicate that Trump is Putin owned and a despicable American traitor.
Disagree? Let's hear it.

This is both wise and dangerous. An uninformed American president is a danger to America.
In the case of Trump, a fully informed president may be a bigger danger to America.

(10,021 posts)Honestly, Trump has no attention span for reading so handing him pages of text to review and then return while in their presence (so none of the information can be copied) is probably safer than we think. Trump's memory seems pretty bad and he easily gets distracted when the conversation is not about himself.
