They have to have clearance I think

By virtue of being a Presidential nominee, they do not go through a security clearance.

that was the exact opposite of Trump.

Have to wonder if he'll lob info to his daughter who is now in Russia with Putin's girlfriend.

Needs to have his friends for the big word meeting.

Surely not thinking about Christie for SecState? If I was to bring two friends if it was not my intended NSA I would pick my intended SecDef and SecState. Possibly SecHomSecur.

I agree completely. From what I've read, our military and Intel folks would have to be even more alarmed by the inclusion of Flynn than I am.

this is such a disturbing situation.
I sure hope that the people doing the briefings are being very, very careful.

should just tell him some BS, then wait 48-72 hours for him to start tweeting it. Busted for treason, no info compromised.

My understanding is that these security briefings are a courtesy, not a requirement. Nothing in the Constitution says that presidential candidates get security briefings.

in Russian?
