Trump to Receive First Classified Briefing Tomorrow
ABC News ^ | 8/16 | John Santucci

Posted on 08/16/2016 12:11:55 PM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Trump is planning to take with him New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency director who has become an outspoken supporter of Trump, a senior campaign official said.

Career staffers from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the nation's top intelligence office, will be leading the briefing, which is expected to cover major threats and emerging concerns around the world.

Trump's session comes two days after he laid out a series of foreign policy proposals, including plans for subjecting immigrants to "extreme vetting" and temporarily blocking immigration from "the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world."

All depends on their security clearance level.

If you are read into a program or a level of secrecy, you’re in.

Governors probably have some level of security clearance, as do top campaign advisors - based on “need to know”

Ditto with Flynn - who should make sure Trump is not being played by the intel community - which, sadly, has been tarnished by partisanship

Trump will be more likely to attend and pay attention than Hussein ever did.

Exactly. Make sure he isn’t being given wrong info, and I wouldn’t put it past this administration to do just that.

Will they teach him how to point out who is holding the nuclear codes?

Ask Sidney Blumenthal, her personal national intelligence advisor

This is going to be an eye opener for Trump

I hope he doesn’t start looking 10 years older as he realizes what he’s getting into

I’ve been waiting for this. It will be interesting to see if Trump changes his tune any (i.e. on National Security). He’s been on the money with damn near everything that has been going on without these briefs (I would assume he has his own intel wing) so I will be curious to see how he reacts with what surely must be juicy information we out here in commoner land never hear about. Will he lift the skirt a bit (so to speak) or will he clam up because of some serious friggen intel?

That was my thought as well. Will he come out of the briefing looking hollow-eyed and rattled or even more confident and self-assured?

Look for the false accusations and “news” reports about how Trump revealed classified information tomorrow as well.

They all ready started this when the usual subjects thought Trump had all ready received the classified briefing.

A few weeks ago they put out these false reports that Trump revealed secret US military bases in Saudi Arabia. They screwed up and jumped the gun by doing so and shut up about it when they realized Trump hadn’t had any briefings.

Truth does not matter to them, they have their agenda and game plan.

They will push a story that Trump revealed classified info. It’s planned in advance.

Yeah, anything he says after that with regard to defense and national security will be somehow twisted and called a leak. “See, we said he couldn’t be trusted!”

I wouldn’t trust anything in this breifing that cannot be 100% verified. Without a doubt, the globalists will lay many traps in this briefing!

Christie has widely-reported Islamonazi ties, should NOT be involved in any security or defense briefings!

In other words, Trump is already going to attend more than Obastard has attended his whole term.
