How Biden Should Answer Trump’s Nomination

Brian Beutler: “Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies. He’s been charged with dozens more. With help from corrupt judges he appointed himself, some of those charges will be dropped, and others have been placed in limbo. But to call him a crook is no longer a subjective assessment of his behavior and character. Several of the charges he’s faced pertain to his theft and concealment of state secrets. He’s shared some of those secrets with foreign nationals and possibly with foreign governments.”

“Trump will accept his party’s nomination tomorrow. Upon accepting it, Biden should announce that Trump will not be eligible for the courtesy briefings the U.S. intelligence community typically provides to major-party nominees.”
