Trump expected to receive first classified briefing on Wednesday

By Nolan D. McCaskill

Donald Trump will receive his first classified briefing Wednesday, according to multiple news reports.

Trump is expected to attend his first briefing inside the FBI’s New York field office alongside New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

Presidential candidates typically begin receiving briefings after their nominating conventions. Trump formally accepted the Republican Party’s presidential nomination on July 21 in Cleveland. Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination on July 28, but it’s unclear if she will also begin receiving briefings on Wednesday.

Critics, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, have questioned whether Trump can be trusted to receive classified information, while some Republicans have said Clinton's "careless" handling of classified documents during her time at the State Department should disqualify her. Experts, however, have said that candidates generally do not receive extremely sensitive details at such briefings.

The FBI's New York office declined to comment, and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I hope they tell him....

The Green squirrel jumped over the purple fence, and throw in 500 acronyms why they are at it.

At least until we verify this guy and Manafort don't have Russian connections.

Now it's getting scary.   **nononono*
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Holy cra*!  Not good, not good at all.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

This is not going to turn out well.

So if it's not classified, I wonder what his point was?
