SFC Casey O'Mally - If the report hit his table and he chose to not read it, he has failed as the POTUS.

Capt Gregory Prickett If you tell your law professor that you often don't read your cases for the day, your law professor could not honestly tell the world that you had read a specific case based purely on the fact that it had been assigned.
It is a known fact that he does not read the full PDB. Therefore stating that he was briefed simply because it was included is a flat out fabrication.
Stating it qas included in his PDB and he *should* be aware is completely fair. Saying he *is* aware is an assumption which is not supported by fact.

MAJ Ken Landgren Dunno about that. I would have to assume that he has more reports "hit his table" in any given week than he has time to read. That is what a staff is for. Every Commander I met above the Company level flat out stated they don't read all of their e-mail. That is what they have a staff for. I would have to assume (I do not know for a fact, as I have never met a President, nor been in the WH) that POTUS gets a significantly larger volume of reports than a battalion commander.

Additionally, your view of "failure" seems to be rather narrow minded. Failing to read one report, no matter how critical, does not doom an entire Presidency to failure (as you seem to indicate). Failing to ACT once things are known is, in my opinion, a far greater sin than failing to KNOW sooner rather than later.

SFC Casey O'Mally - the law professor could, however, tell the world that the material had been provided to me, or "briefed" to me. I have not seen anyone state that the president has actually read anything. Second, it's my understanding that John Bolton also told him, last year. Perhaps we can ask John Barron...

It's an election year. Many distractions such as covid and unrest. This is all we are going to see from both sides for the next 4 months.
