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.

That’s just incredible. How in the hell can they trust her not to sell everything she’s learned to an enemy. Just plain stupid.

Another Trump ad....

Hillary must have forgotten this. Probably ‘short-circuited’ again, or got mixed up in her Emails

This would be a really good ad for Trump!!!!

Clinton, 1995, immigration, SOTU - Bill Clinton talking about immigration in the 1995 State of the Union.

Isn’t this exactly what Donald Trump is saying?

"The fact the FBI would even agree to give Hitlary a secure briefing is disgusting and pathetic and makes the FBI about as credible and trustworthy as Hitlary."

Hellary has her security clearance - it's those thirty pieces of silver in Comey's pocket.

No way should Hillary receive ‘classified info’. She is so crooked and money hungry hat she will find some opportunity to sell it to the highest bidder.

Either that, or she will not comprehend how or why it is labeled ‘classified’. As Comey stated, “she was maybe ‘unsophisticated enough’ to not understand it”.

I wonder whether they gave her the full info.

She is not a security risk, she is a security hazard with a track record of failure. I still struggle with this.

I don’t believe that they would give her any actual information. It’s probably all BS. The FBI has deemed her extremely careless with such information and not “sophisticated” enough to have it.

Hmm, 2 hours and 40 minutes without Hillary home. More than enough time for the Energizer Bunny to visit Bill.

Even though she once held TS/SCI/LIMDIS...she no longer does.

I wonder if appointed officials even require SSBIs.

What if the FBI gave her false info that was very specific so that when it turns up on Wikileaks or Slick’s favorite porn chat site, they’d have them with “intent” to commit treason?

“AF is having trouble with its freshwater condenser.” AF must be Midway.

Comey wears his underwear backwards for Mistress Hillary.

Hows long did she wait after the briefing before she sold it? Five minutes? Several hours?
