I think the military is smart enough not to share anything it does not have to with Obama
I think they told Reagan
I dont think they told Carter
Bush was in on it from the start and so is his son
Obama? no way
I’d like to hope your assessment would be accurate if there was anything alien or super-unbelieveable out there.
You raise a good point. When someone becomes POTUS does that automatically give them need to know access?
In other words, are all of our secrets briefed to the successor POTUS as soon as they are sworn in?
There are pockets of Congress who have access to Special Access Programs however they often don’t know what the program is about.
