GOP nominee Donald Trump is poised to receive his first classified intelligence briefing
in New York City on Wednesday. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence will give Trump a "fairly general" report, says Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Retired Gen. Michael Hayden emphasized this latter point, noting the secret meetings will be "secret-light."
Many have voiced their concerns about Trump having knowledge of important national security intel, especially after he invited Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails.
the words "Trump" and "classified intelligence briefing" are so hard to write in the same tweet.— Edward Luce (@EdwardGLuce) August 17, 2016
Others pointed out that hours before Trump's intelligence briefing, he said he "doesn't' trust" U.S. intel.
He receives his first briefing today. [shudders.] | Trump: I don't trust U.S. intelligence information https://t.co/2nAsmhqm5R— Michael Hicks (@MikeH5856) August 17, 2016
As for the Democratic nominee, who as secretary of state mishandled national security intel on an unsecure private server, House Speaker Paul Ryan formally requested she be prohibited from receiving such briefings.
at least Trump won’t email them to our enemies
Trump didn’t invite Russia to hack Hillary. He invited them to release what they already hacked. English is a great language, Townhall. Learn it.
Yet, Obama hasn't taken a meeting with the CIA & FBI in HOW many months?
Will Stephen K. Bannon attend? I know he is temporarily off the air at Breitbart but when he comes back it would be interesting to hear his take on the intel briefings without spilling the top secret stuff.
Later today Trump will say ISIS and CNN will accuse him of leaking classified material
You can say that again.
At least trump won’t sell our icbm nuclear missile guidance systems technology out to the enemy — and he won’t arm fund protect and otherwise enable our worst sworn Islamonazi enemies to deploy nuclear strike force against American cities. It’s delusional for anyone to think trump’s any kind of security risk after the clintons and Obama subversions
I bet Trump is reading the briefings and thinking:
1) Holy cow was I right about what is going on in the world.
2) My gosh what a clusterF Obama will leave me.
3) I better win this election, and we need to act fast in January 2017.
Critics cringe?
What Hogwash! What Bovine Excrement!
The lace trimmed pink panty crowd is wetting their bloomers. IDIOTS!!!
Exactly. They’re cringing because they know he’s got the balls to go public and declare that the media and Obama have been running a psy op to convince us that our muslim friends in America are our BFF.
Uhhhhhh, Townhall...Hillary’s emails had ALREADY been hacked...
Try and keep up......
Administration pajama boys, feminazis and muzzies will cringe knowing Dad’s getting to see their actual report cards.
Thank you for calling out Townhall on that point.
I cringe every time I’m reminded that a known traitor and her rapist husband have received numerous classified briefings.
This is a lie. If Townhall doesn't know any better than this they haven't any business commenting on security issues.
[at least Trump won’t email them to our enemies]
Maybe he can point out his staffer that is carrying them at the next rally...
“Critics cringe? What Hogwash! What Bovine Excrement!The lace trimmed pink panty crowd is wetting their bloomers. IDIOTS!!!”
But these liberal goons don’t think twice about “Uncle Joe” telling everyone who is holding the nuclear codes. Please LORD have mercy on us, and give us Trump in January.
Now the media is going to try to get him to talk about it.
