Earlier than last time, that is. I don’t know if 2016 was typical.

party convention. The Speaker as well as the Gang of others that make up the Gang of 8,are suppose to receive Briefings in a timely many . But,Trump has put a lid on these regular Briefs. Seems to me,Pelosi and Schiff said it was well over 140 since being briefed and that was two months ago.

this year but was delayed until August due to the covid crisis. It sounds as if they are simply starting the intel briefings on the original timetable

It's due to him being the de facto nominee. Which is also early. Interesting times we're living in, and all that.

Honestly, the sooner he's being briefed the better prepared he'll be when/if he wins in November.

it was delayed because of the pandemic so they decided to start briefing the presumptive nominee considering the extraordinary circumstances. The convention at this point is mostly a formality this year.

They're no longer tightly screwed around my ears, just near them. I'm just grateful to be to this point.

Also, VOTE in November like your life depends on it, because it does!!

with his name splashed everywhere on them...

He will COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND them.

AMAZING what a president with intelligence can do, rather than a TRAITOROUS IMBECILE.
