"THE PRESIDENT WAS NEVER BRIEFED"

1. I was never briefed on it

2. Well, it was in the briefing but I didn't read it

3. I didn't have time to read it because Pelosi was impeaching me for a hoax

4. No one ever told me about it

5. OK. They told me about it, but I didn't believe  it

6. Vladimir denied it 'strongly'

7. Our Intel agencies are overrated and part of the  Hillary deep state.

8. The whole thing was a nothingburger, brought up to make me look bad and jam my poll numbers
