Doesn’t Obama blow off these briefings on a regular basis?

If Mr. Trump were ever fully briefed honestly,
the treason of the undocumented, unvetted pRes_ _ent
would be patent, and that will not happen.

Some on the Republican side of the debate have also expressed concern about Hillary Clinton getting similar briefings

I'm sure she'll sell the info for a good price.

Lip service.

They’ll just sit him in front of YouTube and play the complete Dutchinse library.

There is no way, NO WAY (What with Obama making presidential Decree that his office will be in charge of info handoff to the next president) that they will give him credible info.

And I hope Donald knows this. I’m sure he does. It’s like he’s just taken over a company in a hostile action, and he sits down with the old board and takes their information ? Not a chance.

I don’t think he’ll show up. President Trump plays these sycophants like a fine violin.

“briefings are bothering some intelligence professionals who feel that Trump, in particular, cannot be relied on to keep secrets. “He’s never held public office before. He’s a business developer and a reality TV star,” CIA analyst Aki Peritz”

So in the opinion of Aki, she and her ilk should be a policy maker, and she thinks she need not show respect to Trump because he has never held office.

I hope Trump guts the intelligence world like a fish.

As if he could even comprehend what’s going on in the world.

Ideally a President's schedule on any given morning includes a confidential Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) at 9 am

Obama usually skips those meetings.

“...some intelligence professionals who feel that Trump, in particular, cannot be relied on to keep secrets...”

I’ll tell you so-called “intelligence professionals” something...If you have any intelligence your self, you better keep Trump fully abreast of what is happening because if he was to find out you hold anything back because you don’t “trust” him, you’ll be out the door and looking for another job so fast, you will not know what hit you...

Trust, truthfulness, and integrity are extremely important to Trump....

Until Trump (or any candidate) undergoes a security check and receives clearance, they won’t get anything more sophisticated than anything you can read in the paper.

Morgan later tweeted that Trump's comments were "incredibly strong" and were "going to have real ramifications if he wins."

What about the ramifications to Britain from their Prime Minister foolishly sticking his nose into another country's election campaign to call the leading candidate "divisive, stupid, and wrong"? He must think that's fine and that it's all Trump's fault for standing up to him.

Obama is only concerned with how daily security briefings will
affect his tee time.

Former presidents still get them, so I'm sure Hillary gets to peek at Bill's copy now and then.
