U.S. spy agencies are preparing to deliver a classified briefing to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the nation’s intelligence director said Thursday, despite deep unease among many spy officials with the real estate mogul’s pro-Russian rhetoric.
National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper Jr. indicated that Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are eligible to receive intelligence briefings within days of the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention.

I wasn’t aware that intelligence agencies SET national policy. I thought they worked for the executive branch, not that they directed it.
The shadow government is just going right out in the open.
Total BS article.
Mrs. Clinton is a proven security hazard.
#27 Writers? Sounded like something Harf would write. She probably did. The Compost just printed it.
Pure bullshitte.
This is from the Onion, right? Not worried about Hillary but but concerned about Trump? You gotta be kidding.
Keep on, Spooks, and nobody will respect you.
“After the last 7 1/2 years, my guess is that the rank and file intelligence personnel are quietly delighted that trump will be our next president...”
You are probably right to a great degree, for the president can be a pain in the butt to the intelligence community, but not much else. Most hard intelligence information is gathered by CIA operatives on the ground, and a world-wide network of gathering stations reporting to the NSA. The president, whomever he/she may be, can be an inconvenience to them, but they won’t get too ruffled regardless. The NSA will spoon-feed information to the president and the candidates as they see fit, and none will see anything they (NSA) feel is inappropriate.
When you see rotten news from around the world, rest assured there is probably ten times as much going on that you don’t see, and neither will Congress, Hillary, the FBI or Trump.
Think about that for a moment...
Load of poo!
The result is simple to deduce. The agency will brief both Trump and Cankles, enemy agents will obtain secrets from Cankles and let it be known that they have said secrets, Trump takes the blame.
Har har harty har har......
The Old Gray whore, brothel of the presstitutes, just can’t get off the false Russian talking point
They can’t seem to grasp the fact that when you begin to see pink goo, it’s time to stop flogging a dead horse
Or, they will brief trump and lie to hillary
Trump doesn’t need the money. Hillary does.
Lefties are experts at accusing their opposition of the very things that THEY do themselves.
It’s an Alinsky Tactic.
Very familiar with Alinsky.
If this is true, these agents are DNC Party fascists (moles) who need to be identified and removed from service. They are dangerous to the presidency and the American people. Trump needs to put that on his first things to do - weed out the globalist fascists because they are showing that they will undermine him and this Nation.
Some in these police state agency thugs view Trump voters as domestic terrorist groups and Trump’s agenda of America first or anti-globalism as domestic terrorism. They have actually classified being for the second amendment, being Christian and being anti-globalist as domestic terrorism.
Indeed. His tactics are instantly recognizable...to those who know about him.
I get your point!
agree
If the spy agencies aren’t more worried over Hillary than Trump....
We need new spooks.
It’s politics...otherwise known as lying.
