Hillary Clinton Receives 1st Classified Briefing as Democratic Nominee
Good Morning America via Yahoo ^ | August 27th, 2016 | JOSH HASKELL and LIZ KREUTZ

Hillary Clinton spent Saturday morning at an FBI facility near her New York home meeting with staffers from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence who briefed her on major threats and emerging concerns around the world.

Clinton arrived at the office in White Plains, New York, which is roughly 20 minutes from her Chappaqua home, about 9 a.m. The meeting lasted over two hours and she attended it alone, a campaign aide said.

The briefing comes 10 days after her main rival, Donald Trump, received his first classified briefing as the Republican Party’s nominee.

Trump took two top advisers to his briefing: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency director who has been an outspoken and sometimes controversial supporter of Trump.

Because of the sensitivity of the information discussed during presidential candidate briefings, the sessions must take place in locations with secure rooms, known as Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs). The FBI's office in White Plains has such rooms.

While some top-secret information could have been discussed, the briefing did not include the nation's most sensitive secrets, particularly information on sources, methods and operations.

Many of Clinton’s critics have questioned whether she should receive a classified briefing after what they say is the reckless way she handled sensitive information when she was secretary of state.

The big question is, why would Hillary go the meeting by herself?

What is she hiding?

Regarding classified intel, whatever happened to ... “I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you”?

On the other hand, if they actually read her into the programs again, then they might have spent the whole time watching the TS/SCI/TK/HCS/G briefing videos. IIRC watching those and signing the documents took about two hours. They might have even thrown in the ethics briefings she missed, and the general security briefings that now include her as an example of an “insider threat”.

The classified briefing was to inform her that briefings are classified. Oh, and please do not email them to anyone.

The headline itself is a LIE! There was nothing "democratic" about her nomination.

But that's OK. She probably won't be able to remember the briefing anyway.

Did she bring Huma and the ambassadors’ to china and the KSA along to take notes?

Might as well save some time handing out our intel to every foundation paying customer, err... i mean “donor” (wink wink).

And everything she learns is on the auction block later today. Just make your check out to the Clinton Foundation. Make sure the memo line reads charity. Enter your request on her email. Don’t worry, it is safe.

I thought she wasn’t receiving these briefings because she already knew them ?

Wasn’t she already part of this process?

With Huma at her side, the Brotherhood already knows this stuff. She probably called them as they were leaving the briefing room.

Did they cover this threat?

Threat #1 currently facing America:   the threat that Hillary Rotten Criminal steals the election to POTUS.

DO you think the Briefing included in it that Hillary Clinton was and is a “Threat to National Security”??? And if not, shouldn’t it be??

They need to do a Hitler finding out his donation to the Clinton Foundation didn’t get him the access or results he desired. Tie in his complaint if he was muslim he’d be treated better.
