It's no longer 'intelligence' when it is verified accurate, then it becomes FACT.Why would they brief him and not the president? Pompeo claims he knew about it, BTW.Turns out that the one guy who actually got a briefing about possible bounties on American soldiers.....was Adam Schiff.....and he didn't tell anyone in Congress or the President....
Odds are he is the likely leak.........
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA)’s aides first learned in February of allegations that a Russian military intelligence unit offered bounties for American troops in Afghanistan, according to a report.
Top Intelligence Committee staff for Schiff were briefed during a congressional trip to Afghanistan on intelligence that Russia offered the Taliban bounties in Afghanistan, but Schiff took no action in response to the briefing, sources told The Federalist.

He has also acknowledged that Trump was never briefed on the intelligence.

The Federalist’s Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway wrote:
Schiff’s recent complaints that Trump took no action against Russia in response to rumors of Russian bounties are curious given that Schiff himself took no action after his top staff were briefed by intelligence officials. As chairman of the intelligence committee, Schiff had the authority to immediately brief the full committee and convene hearings on the matter. Schiff, however, did nothing. He did not brief his committee on the matter, nor did he brief the gang of 8, which consists of top congressional leadership in both chambers.

He was told by guys on the ground.....the President wasn't told by the intelligence community because they had to actually verify that the information was accurate, and true.
