Candidates poised for classified briefings despite spy agency worries over Trump
Washington Post ^ | July 28, 2016 | Greg Miller

U.S. spy agencies are preparing to deliver a classified briefing to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the nation’s intelligence director said Thursday, despite deep unease among many spy officials with the real estate mogul’s pro-Russian rhetoric.

National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper Jr. indicated that Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are eligible to receive intelligence briefings within days of the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention.

They are worried about briefing Trump, but not worried about briefing Hillary, who committed serious security violations by sending highly classified national security info via her unclassified home email server?

Goes to show you what morons inhabit our government if they are worried about Trump.

I also think this story was pulled out of the writer’s ass.

Really?

Why no worry about Hillary’s cavalier failure to protect classified information?

Why no worry about Hillary’s decision to turn over a large chunk of our uranium supply to Russia in exchange for a vast sum of cash deposited in her “foundation” to be laundered?

Trump has done nothing to compromise US security, and has NO deals with Russia—why would anyone be worried about him?

For some reason, I doubt the premise of this story.

This shows you how utterly compromised every inch of our government is. Trump needs to get in there & tear this place up.

The FBI called Clintoon “extremely careless” and “unsophisticated” and “da Clapp Man” be worried about Trump? WTF? Pro-Russian “rhetoric”? What the hell are these white boys smoking? Are they so “unsophisticated” that they don’t get a joke? Hey guys! Trump “schlonged” your queenie. Think about it.

Right, but let’s remember who these people are. They are all eight years (almost) running Democrat hacks. These are Obama’s people. They are going to contribute as much snark, and duplicity from their anti anything not Democrat perspective they can.

They will be used by the Democrats along with every other department controlled by Democrats, which is everything. It’s going to be one ugly campaign.

After the last 7 1/2 years, my guess is that the rank and file intelligence personnel are quietly delighted that trump will be our next president...

As much as I’d like to agree with you on that, judging by recent events in this country and abroad . . I highly doubt it.

Bingo! That is the reason the Rats do not want him briefed. Zero and Hillary’s dirty laundry are currently “TopSecret”. If Trump tells us what he finds out there could be hell to pay.

You talk about living in the Bizarro World. Every enemy of America has volumes, probably in hardback and paperback edition, of Hillary’s e-mails loaded with national security secrets, but let Trump make one facetious statement that any ten year old would know that he’s clowning and he’s the threat to national security? The left is drowning in fear and looking beyond stupid at the same time.

“I want names, on the record. Otherwise it’s just WAPO bs.”

Agree. I’d be willing to bet that members of our nation’s security agencies will be all too happy to begin briefing an American leader who is on OUR side, for a change.
