some leakage will occur by the senators themselves, don’t you worry.

Obviously there’s nowhere within the confines of the Capitol Building which can be secured for such a briefing. And making that point is a genuinely clever political move by the administration. Still playing Three Dimensional Chess against professional politicians accustomed to winning at Checkers.

He will say, "based on the information I've just given to you, I'd like your advice on our next moves."

Uh, no. More like 'Here is what we are going to do.'

“He will explain China’s position and any communications/agreements made with them about NK.”

And when the Chinese will cross the Yalu ...

I believe there are SCIF rooms within the Capital but the Executive Branch can control this one in the EOB.

Thays puts their little phones and cameras, in the little cubbies and thays stands in line to get them back at the end. No tablets, ipads or laptops either.

Reagan said that he didn’t care who got the credit as long as what he wanted got done. One of the best bosses I ever had practiced this. Lots of great things got done.

They do as I understand it have secured briefing rooms in the Capitol Building. Trump hosted the UN Security Council in an equally unconventional way this week as well.

I am thinking that his long experience negotiating business deals has made him comfortable with the psychological advantage in hosting meetings at his, instead of the other party’s, location. Kind of a way of giving him a one up.

I’m wondering if that’s what he’s up to.
