The White House on Thursday said that it expected intelligence officials to provide a classified briefing to Donald J. Trump after the Republican Party formally nominates him for president at its convention in July, a tradition for major party nominees dating back to 1952.
Asked whether President Obama was concerned about Mr. Trump’s receiving classified information in light of the presumptive Republican nominee’s reputation for making unfiltered comments, Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said the president would leave it to intelligence professionals to decide what to share with him.
“Those are assessments that will have to be made by the intelligence community, and the president has full confidence in the ability of our professionals in the intelligence community to make those assessments,” Mr. Earnest said.
Mr. Earnest referred reporters to comments last week by the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., who said that the Obama administration intended to continue the practice of briefing the nominees from both major parties this electoral cycle.
“We have already established a plan for briefing both candidates when they are named, and certainly after November when the president-elect is known, and it gets more intensive,” Mr. Clapper said. “We’ve already got a team set up to do that, and a designated lead, who is not a political appointee.”

Is this where they set Trump up in a teleconference linked to Area 51?
Then the alien leaders will brief him on how they control all world governments and that his children will all suffer from coincidental fatal diseases if he doesn’t immediately buckle under and tow the globalist line.
“Clapper is a slimeball. his only goal is to co-opt Trump into his worldview.”
Exactly.
Hope Obama isn’t the one Briefing...
I can hear Donald now “Hussain! Front and Center! Report!
Your Fired!
(OK I adlibbed a little)
He may not want the job after that. I sure wouldn’t.
He will get some answers about Muslim immigration.
Honestly, I think he already figured that part out.
He will find out that all important decisions are made at the Bohemian grove and the annual Bilderberg meeting, and that the entire government is just a facade meant to lull the citizens into a false sense of security.
There again, he knew that.
He will find out about the aliens on the far side of the Moon. But he knows more about that than the government. Just sayin ...
(the above all meant to be semi-satirical — I don’t know, does anybody?)
Who will do the briefing? Huma?
Just an educated guess, from simply open source research that I do, Presidents are only read in to what the ‘desks’ believe necessary. No President is ever fully pulled. It’s not necessary. Trump will only get a dusting with a few “CAPD” read ins.... Likely, the CAPD will focus on the constitutional rules of crisis related events in order to prep for a post election national emergency and post inaugural emergency event.”
Probably true. And as the owner of several small businesses over the years, I have learned - often painfully - that it is necessary for the one at the helm to periodically do granular investigation of what the desk or the manager or administrator is actually doing.
I’m sure Trump knows that.
The Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans. Thanks to the Hildebeast, they already know all the top secret stuff we have anyway.
Hope Trump can keep his trap shut. He could torpedo his own boat.
They will probably give him the five minute version of Richard Dolan’s three volumes on UFOs and the National Security State.
Let me save Donald some time:
Yes, they exist.
Yes, we have treaties with them.
Yes, both parties have violated the treaties.
Yes, their weapons could turn us into road-kill, and after they killed us many would be happy to eat us.
Welcome to the White House!
Did Joan Rivers actually say that?
Hilarious.
The idea of aliens killing us is something we could debate all day.
We have way more to worry about with the invading force that’s already here : Islam.
You are BADDDDD!
Or, he could simply hack Hillary’s private server like the rest of the world.
