Does anyone feel as uneasy as I do

[packman]

when and if Trump receives daily secret briefings about national security, threats, etc. as the Republican Presidential candidate once nominated? I can only cringe on how he would use that information either in his campaign or business.

Yes, they are "secret" , but we're dealing with Trump.

1. If they give him Secret Information, and he reveals it, then he should be charged

with a crime.

9. If he so much as utters a peep that he shouldn't, he will be arrested

When you are read into that kind of information, they are very sure to make sure that you are aware of what happens if your lips slip.

11. I'm retired military. I know the rules around classified information. The political repercussions

of charging a nominee would be severe, especially in a crime perpetrated during an active campaign.

2. The briefings he receives should be as authentic as he is. nt

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

5. Yep, and as I said in another thread

His briefings should contain no more sensitive material than coloring books and connect the dot puzzles.

3. Expert on Maddow show says Obama decides on content of briefing

Intelligence insiders worry Trump will leak because he just can't control his big mouth.

Sounds like plan is to write briefings based on publically available articles,etc. Expert said "Open Source" info.

Still informative, but no classified info.

Makes sense and I Hope this is the case.

4. Look on the bright side

It's possible he'll learn where Syria is

[Nye Bevan]

6. He is just going to be so fucking smug going into that first briefing.

Smirking all over his orange face. I just hope they figure out how to reveal the minimum amount possible.

7. It would be useful to give him some info now before the convention and see if he leaks it.

If he does, I think the Republicans will do whatever is necessary to be sure he is not the nominee.

8. This would have made one hell of a West Wing episode

[FSogol]

10. I found a copy of his briefing:

To: Presumptive Nominee Donald (Code Name: Combover) Trump
Re: Huuuggge Secrets
From: All the best US experts in policy and Stuff. They're incredible. All winners

Oompa Loompas are moving to capture strategic reserves of hair spray, orange coloring, and piss-yellow hair dye.
King Jung Um is recruiting large-handed soldiers to make small handed American feel inferior.
Mexico has not been saving up to build a wall.
Canada continues to not be part of the United States.

Next briefing: TBD

12. If he can't pass security clearance ...

this tradition should be denied to him.
