Intelligence?

I was thinking about President Blotchy's assertion that the Dems in Congress "had access to the same intelligence" as he did. The first was of course that this assertion was a bald-faced lie, for reasons needing no explanation. The second was that even if said in good faith, there is no practical way that legislators can access the same intelligence data as the executive, there are simply too many briefings and meetings for the information access to be considered equivalent.

Then I realized that he was talking about himself, and I knew he was telling the God's honest truth. I'm sure Congressional Democrats had access to the same level of intelligence information as the president, because none of them were relevant to the decision-making process! Remember that Dick Cheney sent the president on a wild goose chase to keep him out of the way while Uncle Dick and the boys did crisis management. I actually have the general guide prepared for the president:



and a copy of his most recent presidential briefing dossier:
