Trump now has access to nation's most valuable intelligence
Fox News ^ | November 12, 2016 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 11/12/2016 4:59:02 AM PST by NYer

President-elect Donald Trump will now have access to the most authoritative and highly classified intelligence produced by the U.S. government, Fox News has learned.

Two intelligence sources confirmed that the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, is now available to Trump – after the White House, before Tuesday’s election, had directed that the winner have full access to the material, to ensure a smooth transition.

The sources told Fox News they do not anticipate the briefings will begin until next week at the earliest.

While Trump prepares to be read in on top U.S. intelligence, he and his transition team are busy assembling potential candidates for key roles in the Trump administration. He tweeted Friday that he had a “busy day” planned in New York and would soon “be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government.”

The PDB is like a highly classified newspaper for the president, and now the president-elect. It is significantly different than the information provided in briefings for candidates; those briefings act as primers to help bring candidates up to speed on topics like China, Iran and the Islamic State.

Candidates have been free to request additional briefs on topics of personal interest, and those supplemental briefings were made available to the other candidate.

The PDB is a focused intelligence product, and has a very high threshold for intelligence to be included.

If Trump were to receive the brief in New York City, the president-elect would need to travel to a secure federal facility, such as the FBI office.

Democrats will have us totally outnumbered and with voter fraud in 4 years will be unstoppable.

A democrat socialist Bernie Sanders, or Michele obama will be our next president in 4 years and undo all that President Trump did unless we immediately start work on or get the message to President Trump to :
1. Repeal the 1965 immigration act
2. national voter id to cut democrat voter fraud which is th the millions of votes

President Trump has to change the 1965 immigration act so he can get a 2nd term . 8 Years of Trump = America great for generations. 3 days of Trump and you already see what has done without any power.

And you can beat your sweet a$$ it will be treated like it, and not on some “private” server. DJT for his faults does love the US. Not sure you can say that about anyone in the Dem party.

And he will listen to it, not ignore it like the present occupant of the White House.

Thank God it is Trump who will be getting this, and not Hillary.

The way Hillary treated national secrets was horrific. Who knows how much damage she did, or how many people died, because of the nonchalant way she compromised information?

Despite Comey’s purely political decision not to press charges, I still hope to see Hillary get the justice she deserves for mishandling classified information.

Think they will tell him the real story about the Greys?

The Greys are demonic entities, not aliens...and I think Trump already grasps the extent to which Soros, Pickles, Pedesta, muzz slimes, Et Al, have infected Earth.

““Valuable”? That certainly is how Hillary views it.”

Also, they are probably out of practice in presenting the PDB or facilitating folow up questions.

It’s my understanding that Obama didn’t care to attend these briefings very often. Messed with his tee-time and late sleep-ins.

Wouldn’t have expected a straight shooter like Catherine Herridge to issue a scare headline like this.

Of course a President-elect should be read into national security briefings as soon as possible. What’s the beef?

WikiLeaks has better information.

Our government, the media and the globalists are the danger. Our intelligence resources haven’t been focused on the real threats since Reagan left office. You may as well read SPLC releases as our “intelligence” reports!

What is in the 1965 immigration act, that could cause a Trump loss in 4 years?

The 1965 immigration act changed where immigration came from into the USA. Prior to that immigration came mostly from Europe after this evil act immigration came from the 3rd world. It’s a plan by democrats to change the demographis of the USA . and it’s working . Ann coulter’s book adios America explains a lot more on this.

Demographics aren’t changing naturally .it’s because of immigration laws that favor Mexico, latin American countries and 3rd world countries. But this is a ploy by the democrats to change the racial makeup of America so that they get a permanent majority and it’s working . this is our last chance as immigrants vote at 85% for democrats
