@StevenLHall1 @MZHemingway 1/ Let me explain this to you, Steve. I worked for CIA and the House Intel Committee staff.

@StevenLHall1 @MZHemingway 2/ . . . legal requirement for in-person briefings, however, in-person briefings WILL CONTINUE for the "Gang of Eight" -- the top House and senate leaders and the leaders of the intel committees. In-person briefings are being mostly curtailed because leaks by Dem members . . .
@StevenLHall1 @MZHemingway 3/ . . . is getting out of hand. @DNI_Ratcliffe responded to these leaks by "working to the rule" -- providing only what the exec branch is legally required to provide Congress on election security in the run-up to thje November election.

@StevenLHall1 @MZHemingway @DNI_Ratcliffe 4/ . . . in-person or to brief all House & Senate members. It is only required to keep the committees "fully and currently informed." As long as the Dems keep leaking classified intel for political purposes, their access to intel should be kept to a bare minimum within the law.
@StevenLHall1 @MZHemingway @Susan_Hennessey @AmyZegart -- See my tweets on this. Written briefings comply with the "fully and completely informed" requirement.
