When does Trump get National Security briefings??

[PearliePoo2]

This thought is terrifying to me.

[kimbutgar]

1. I see him using them to try to find a way to make a business deal

Or using it for partisan purposes where he gives away an active investigation exposing the CIA and FBI. He has no filter so I see him passing it on to his head campaign manager who has Russian ties. Then we can call that treason.

3. Trump himself is a national security risk. Seriously.

I agree your scenario is a likely possibility.

[Hortensis]

27. As Senator Sessions gets ready to put Trump's

name before the convention, it occurs to me that WE CANNOT allow this man anywhere near the nuclear codes. The actual author of Trump's first book, who was with him all day long for over a year, is terrified of what he suspects would inevitably happen.

4. Or to blackmail people1

[PearliePoo2]

10. Yes, that too.

He is a revengeful bastard who has admitted he never forgets being slighted and delights in paybacks.

[Her Sister]

14. Imagine if Pres. Obama said that!

There's something small about a person admitting: " he never forgets being slighted and delights in paybacks."

[PearliePoo2]

18. He talks about a woman he helped out, got her a job...

She rose quickly in financial circles. Then when he needed a loan he asked her to pull some strings with the bank. She told him she couldn't do that. He wrote scathing references for her for prospective employers, delighted when her marriage failed, she lost her home and said he never misses a chance to trash her to this day. She wasn't "loyal", he said.

[Her Sister]

19. Yep, everything there would be like the opposite of how Obama would act & react

It's great sometimes to have real life examples of people who act with true class & character. Easy to contrast when you know what the opposite acts, looks, sounds like.

2. Every day. He's already receiving them.

5. How do you know this?

[nolabear]

6. Fortunately he doesn't understand them.

*sigh* I wish it was that easy.

[tonedevil]

7. Where do you get that from...

I haven't seen anything to indicate that was the case.

[DonViejo]

12. As soon as he was declared the presumptive nominee....

they are watered down considerably. Sec'y Clinton gets them also; Paulie Ryan tried to stop them being given to her, the watered down version as well as the more detailed once she has the nomination. Whoever wins the General Election, gets the full briefings.

[DonViejo]

17. She lost her super-duper top security clearance when she left the State Dept...

if you read my response to your initial question, you read where I stated the briefings are watered down. Once Sec'y Clinton and Trump receive the nomination, the briefings get turned up a notch; then, when victorious on GE day, the briefings go full boar

[angrychair]

22. Well there is no "super-duper" security clearance

But a president and their national security team, which includes the SoS, has a unique clearance level designated "Yankee White". Like all classified information it's still "need to know" but technically gives that person unlimited access to all relevant information, regardless of agency ownership or sensitivity.
It also expires when they leave office.

Not sure if HRC still carries a clearance of another level but once elected president, it will return to Yankee White.

[PearliePoo2]

8. OMG! Are you sure?

Somewhere I thought I read it was after the official nomination.

9. When he becomes the President Elect

I doubt he is getting anything but a very cursory amount of Intel.

The intelligence community takes their jobs VERY seriously and he is still just a candidate.

He needs to take the security oath before they'll copy him on everything the President gets and to my knowledge, that oath taking does not happen until he is the President Elect

[angrychair]

23. Respectfully, not accurate

Once a person becomes their Party nominee, they will get the same national security briefing every morning that the president does.
It was made mandatory years ago to help who ever is elected to be up to speed when they take office.

25. Not all the same

I had typed out an argument to the contrary, but thought I should do a bit of digging so I didn't talk out of my ass.

You are correct to a degree, but the article linked below indicates the briefings slowly ramp up as far as depth of information is concerned. Just because he is the presumptive nominee does not mean he is copied on everything the president gets right away. It scales up and AFTER the election is when it goes full bore, so to speak

http://www.faqs.org/espionage/Pa-Po/Politics-the-Briefings-of-United-States-Presidential-Candidates.html

But fair enough. My position as stated in my posts above were incorrect

[angrychair]

28. The article is interesting

I didn't realize it ramped up either. Thanks for the link!

11. Not to worry he caclnnot differentiate

Shia from Sunnu etc

[stopbush]

13. Relax. The guy writing the briefings for Trump is plagerizing

the briefings given during the War of 1812.

[PatSeg]

16. Frightening thought

He has no attention span and can't sit still for more than a few minutes. He will be very unhappy when he finds out he can't have his smart phone with him.

[AgingAmerican]

21. I saw an interview the other day

Where he says he gets them "From the shows" aka pundits on CNN and FOX

[angrychair]

24. After their Party nomination has confirmed them

Once a person becomes their Party nominee, they will get the same national security briefing every morning that the president does.
It was made mandatory years ago to help who ever is elected to be up to speed when they take office.

26. Truman started it.

He was upset FDR had kept him in the dark about almost everything even though FDR knew he was dying. Truman didn't want that to happen to anyone else.

[Ilsa]

29. I wonder how soon he blabs something classified fromthe briefings? nt

[JoFerret]

30. What's the latest on this issue?

Who is taking this up as a matter of great concern?

[PearliePoo2]

31. Next week supposedly.

Although I heard a Congressman on CNN today say there's a group that are trying to stop Dump from getting ANY security briefings, citing his recent advocating hacking of Clinton, Manafort and his respect for Pooty-Poo
