Could Candidate Donald Trump Be Denied National Security Briefings?
NBC News ^ | JUL 29 2016 | LEIGH ANN CALDWELL and ROBERT WINDREM

Posted on 07/29/2016 7:14:43 AM PDT by lionstar

Calls have increased for Republican nominee Donald Trump to be denied national security briefings offered to presidential nominees of major political parties after he said he hopes Russia is "able to find" Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's discarded private emails.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said he hopes the candidate is given "fake intelligence briefings … because you can't trust him."

And Democratic Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island has sent a letter to President Barack Obama saying Trump "is unfit to receive sensitive intelligence" and asks that he "withhold" Trump's expected intelligence briefing.

Never mind the hag who actually jeopardized national security by setting up an unsecured server for the purposes of evading transparency laws. Yeah, let’s deny the guy who made a wisecrack during a press conference.

If Hillary can get clearance after all she has done, I expect that Pablo Escabar could get one even if he is dead.

If one needs proof of the complete imbecility of the MSM, we present this as proof.

Oh well, someone had to dwell on the very left side of the Bell Curve.

Yep. The press just as well put the donkey in front of their buildings and save us having to call out these frauds everytime they put incoherent thought to paper.

Trump could go sit in on Obama’s morning briefings. There’s plenty of empty seats.

The Nothing But Clinton Network at it again in full defense mode for someone who actually is a national security risk.

It really is amazing to see how these journolists take their marching orders from their DNC masters and Wall Street buddies.

What a specious argument. Who would ever think that is a topic worthy of discussion?

America truly has a compliant media spewing propaganda, just like the Soviets did.

The ref has already blown the whistle, stupid NBC picks the (dead) ball up and tries to score.

Not as funny as a good Roadrunner cartoon, but for still good for a laugh.

Asked and answered. They wanted to not give the briefings to Clinton after she proved she is totally incompetent, careless and irresponsible and has absolutely no business seeing classified material. They said your ruling elite don’t need clearances like little people do.

If if any of their spin was true then why didn’t Trump just file a FOIA for Hillary’s emails?

Once again the Demorats accuse the opponent of doing what they are guilty of.

Sure he could. So could Clinton. The only reason why either candidate gets a briefing is because every sitting president since Truman has ordered it. If the president ends it then he ends it. But he isn't going to. For either one.

The UniParty always attacks the whistle blowers. Just like clockwork. Trump was just blowing the whistle on Hillary’s treason, and who do they attack ?

He doesn’t need the briefings. The Russkis will dump all of the briefings after Clintoon emails them. She’s “extremely careless” and “unsophisticated” don’t you know.

I can barely watch these idiots on TV anymore- the bias is so blatant these days.

I hope Trump has some smart, experienced intel advisors who know the ‘business’ and how to interpret what they’re being told, as well as what is not being told. The intel community is under political pressures to shade things certain ways. He needs to let them know he might be their boss, and will hold them accountable.
