Clinton Receives Her First Security Briefing As The Democratic Nominee

Hillary Clinton has arrived at an FBI facility in White Plains, New York, for her first national security briefing as the Democratic presidential nominee.

The former secretary of state routinely received such briefings when she was in President Barack Obama's Cabinet.

But the briefing Saturday in suburban New York is her first since she became her party's nominee. Republican Donald Trump had his first briefing earlier this month.

The briefings have been customary for presidential nominees so the next commander in chief has an understanding of the country's national security apparatus.

7. It should be interesting what strategy Hillary uses about the briefing.

Whether she brings up questions that requires Trump to receive additional briefings.

8. since HRC and the orange foolius are not receiving briefings together, one can hope that

the one that donnie douche gets is a highly edited version.

9. I bet she briefed them

as much as they briefed her.

10. This is a professional meeting that shouldn't have been such a big deal if it wouldn't have been for

the lack of competence among the competition.
