Curious about the source and reasoning for a candidate to receive "national security briefings," I turned to the googles; "presidential candidates receive national security briefings".

First result is a 2016 article on Salon. The article offered a link to this article, Intelligence Briefings for the Presidential Nominees, by a 33-year career CIA officer who served a senior level positions.

Seems the sitting president offers the candidates a one time deep overview of the national intelligence landscape not daily briefings, not "intelligence," not documents. But to give an appreciation of just what national intelligence really involves.

Given that reasoning, Biden should deny the Buffoon the courtesy. The Buffoon knows not just the national security landscape but many of the intimate details about which he has demonstrated that he doesn't give a s**t unless it serves his personal interests.

... it could be argued that the death of Ashli Babbitt opened everyone who committed a felony on January 6 opened themselves up to a felony murder charge and thus the death penalty.

Yes, it could be argued. www.lawfaremedia.org Yet, most significantly, it has not been argued by prosecutors.

No J6 defendant has been charged with any of those crimes, nor any other capital offense.

They engaged in open treason ...

According to the colloquial definition, yes. According to the legal definition, not even close. www.law.cornell.edu

... violent insurrection ...

Not a capital offense. www.law.cornell.edu

... and attempted mass murder of Congress to say nothing of the vice president.

Not a capital offense. www.law.cornell.edu

I read the brief earlier. It's a tightly written take down of the Buffoon's absolute immunity claim as stated in his brief. www.documentcloud.org Claims that have not fared well in any court.

And if [the Buffoon] occupies the Oval Office in January 2025, this case will be moot ...

Moot? How so?

... regardless of the evidence.

This is a legal issue, evidence is largely irrelevant.
