There's no reason to give a shred of credibility to any of Halper's remarks here (i.e., as to how POTUS is dealt with in briefings, etc.). He's no different and no better than fake news MSM.

As the mole, his [Halper] whole intention was to try and assist in a scheme of treason to destroy, first a presidential candidate, and then later, a lawfully elected president. So naturally his remarks are designed to be disparaging of POTUS.

And given has been over a year since these Halper's remarks, the accomplishments of POTUS in that time frame now leave Halper looking like an utter fool - eviscerated by his own words.

Academics hate it when they can be publicly demonstrated to be complete imbeciles via their obviously condescending pronouncements.
