Senior intelligence officials realized early on that President Donald Trump wasn’t going to read even short written summaries of his regular intelligence briefings. So the CIA officers who prepared the briefings made sure they came to the Oval Office laden with striking images, pared-down charts and slick graphics designed to grab the president’s fleeting interest, several officials familiar with the briefings told NBC News.
“To secure his attention, you had to use images and catchy headlines, even better if they had his name in them,” said Doug London, a former CIA officer who helped assemble the briefing material.

Sounds like briefing many combat arms guys early during the global war on terror...don't care how the sausage is made, just gimme the details...for the most part, that's all they needed.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
CSM Chuck Stafford I think We're both Familiar with the "Telephone" Game. Give a Brief and Hear Later What Someone thought was Heard at the Brief? (Going that's Not What We Said). If I was On-Deck Smoking, someone would see something and just look at the Spooks and Electonic Warfare Guys (Trying to Read Our Faces) As Long as We Were Not Concerned, Neither were they. By the Same Token a Sideways Glance at the Combat System Folks and I could get a 5 Inch 54 Pointed at You!

Is this true? I really can’t give it any credit considering the lies the intelligence community has spread. I remember Clapper, ex head of CIA said Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. He all but swore it was true, but under oath Clapper told a different story. We had a bunch of CIA types saying Hunter’s lap top was Russian disinformation. Turned out it was more lies. Why do we believe these folks? They have a PATHETIC record of lying to the American people, especially when it comes to Trump.
