Hillary Clinton has arrived at an FBI facility in White Plains, New York, for her first national security briefing as the Democratic presidential nominee.
The former secretary of state routinely received such briefings when she was in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.
But the briefing Saturday in suburban New York is her first since she became her party’s nominee. Republican Donald Trump had his first briefing earlier this month.
The briefings have been customary for presidential nominees so the next commander in chief has an understanding of the country’s national security apparatus.

Wow. First? Wonder why Trump went a week earlier.
At least we know this time around the analysts doing the presentation didn’t have to prepare cartoons to explain things…
Coin toss? David Priess has been on TRMS and what gets discussed with one candidate has to be discussed with the other. If candidate #1 has questions those questions and replies are given to candidate #2 and vice versa. Last night he went into the gamesmanship of asking questions or not asking questions.
Don’t know the reason he went first, but I’m glad: it forestalls the inevitable “rigged system” BS ge would’ve otherwise spewed, and it makes not a jot of difference, since she’s otherwise much better informed on these issues
HRC was advised that this is the primary DEFCON 1 threat to the globe.
