Actually, you're wrong. POTUS candidates get limited clearances for the intel briefings they need for the campaign. The big briefing comes after a new POTUS is elected.

Thanks 2M - that makes sense - I knew they got briefings but to what extent I'm not sure - thanks for the clarification.

BTW, good evening

You're welcome and good evening, CJ. Washington Post has been running an excellent position review on the Nationals and explaining what's in view during the off season. Toronto newspaper(s) doing the same?

Yes, extensive post mortems and possible scenarios for the future - no one seems to be too interested/concerned about retaining Bautista beyond a qualifying offer and most are, perhaps reasonably, more interested in securing Encarnacion. Idiotic suggests are being floated about trading one of our young pitchers to secure Votto from Cincinnati, he and his 7 years and $170 million left on his contract. Why not spend that kind of money on Encarnacion, or likely much less, and retain your pitchers too? I'm really pretty pissed about the whole mess, but that's for another thread.

Yeah, it's open now for sure. The point is that she is a credible source for such knowledge, and she broke OPSEC by even talking about it. She should have known better, but trying to impressive everyone is what was on her mind.

Or the open source 4 minute time is disinformation and she just helped spread it. We don't know. :)

How long to launch an "operation Barbarossa" with an extra Army Group in reserve?

An investigation? Do you think a cabinet level member of a Presidential Administration picked to be the designated survivor is not read in on the issue we are discussing?

I don't think so, not to mention when exactly was she specifically the designated survivor?

I could be wrong, although I don't think I am, but your government gives top security clearances to the Presidential candidates and reads them into all national security and other issues as a prelude to their possible election as President. So yes, in my view, Clinton has an official government role/capacity. It's likely why Trump and others have called for her to lose her security clearance.

But hey, she's your candidate so you should know better than I.

I've never heard of the candidates getting all the info the President or other such staff has. They may get some very limited info, but only that relevant to the campaign necessity, not something like that.

Mrs. Clinton did not just violate some Defense Dept. protocol. She violated the Espionage Act--again--and she did it with millions of people watching her. She was entrusted with that information relating to the national defense, and through gross negligence she permitted that information to be delivered to other persons in violation of her trust. That is a violation of section 793(f)--a felony.

So are you. Your question is lame. Don't take your frustration out on me.

I know that it would take an investigation to determine if she really did release classified information, not some crap story about unnamed Pentagon sources getting upset about it. In fact how can you know she released classified info without actually knowing the info itself? And we have no way to know if those unnamed Pentagon sources have access to that information since they are remaining unnamed.

I consider such saber rattling, merely "failures of diplomacy" due to the socialism of our exorbitantly expensive superpower.

Fair enough. A dead horse comes to mind.
 
Re: Pentagon officials furious after clinton announces us response time for nuclear l

Hypothetically, and in that alternative, what if, Mr. Trump had financed his own cruiser and merely "taken care of business" in the Middle East; to "cement" his status as the Great Capitalist of the Right?

Snopes counts on the stupidity of it's readers to craft "facts"..... they betray thier own rating:


"Although [nuclear response protocol] remains shrouded in secrecy, we actually know a great deal about it, beginning with the president’s first task of opening the “nuclear suitcase”"....


The fact that there is a "nuclear suitcase" is still a classified piece of information. there are numerous "common knowledge" things that are actually still classified. no where in the snopes link or any of the links in the link quote "4 minutes".

That is an exact number... a state secret.

The snopes link does mention 4 minutes being put out with several links to support it.

Wednesday’s presidential debate Pentagon officials found themselves completely dumbfounded as to why former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would feel it appropriate to announce U.S. Special Access Program intel on national television.

According to sources within the Department of Defense speaking under anonymity, Clinton likely violated at least two Dept. of Defense SAP protocols during the debate by announcing on live television the United States Government’

It's not just what she said, though that in and of itself is bad enough to announce to the world.

It's the matter-of-fact way she talked about a process that involves the annihilation of all life on this planet.

We already know that as the hawk Secretary of State she has "challenged", to say the least, Russia's Vladimir Putin to the degree he's had enough of her intimidation.

She may not be conscious of the fact that she's acting out her internalized rage against men caused by her father's and husband's emotional abuse of her, now acting it out on "powerful men" like Putin.

But I'm aware of it, and if her statements topical to this thread don't illustrate the concern I wrote about at this link, I don't know what does: http://www.debatepolitics.com/general-political-discussion/260238-hillarys-potential-h-bomb-misdirection-against-dad-and-bill.html.

My concerns in that thread should be taken very, very seriously.
