Certain staffers in the FBI's New York Field Office have been told to expect a special guest tomorrow: Donald Trump.

He is scheduled to receive his first classified briefing as the Republican Party's presidential nominee, according to sources notified of the upcoming visit.

Trump is planning to take with him New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency director who has become an outspoken supporter of Trump, a senior campaign official said.

5. BAD IDEA!

[liberal N proud]

6. What will he share with Putin?

[JoePhilly]

7. Tell him it was Mr Green in the Library with the ...

... wrench.

Then send him home.

[Frank Cannon]

8. God help us all.

And I say this as someone who's not particularly religious.

In the interest of national security, I hope they are tailoring his presentation.

[MBS]

10. I share your concerns!

To say the least. Trump AND Flynn. . .just beyond belief.

[Frank Cannon]

17. Oh, yes. Flynn, too.

Why don't they just fucking call Vlad up and put him on speaker?

[sorefeet]

9. They are setting him up

He is so stupid they will get him alone and trick him into saying something on record. Just sayin.

11. According to this, it was quite detailed:

[christx30]

12. "They basically told me what I already knew,

that I'm well respected, and much loved around the world. And anyone from the briefing that says otherwise is lying, and I'll have them executed or deported once I'm in office."

13. How many is a Brazillian? Screw it, nuke em anyway

[GreydeeThos]

15. Trump is the wrong person to give Top Secret information to

Trump has no experience handling classified information. He does not have reverence for how serious that information is in protecting this country.

He has no appreciation of the investment required in obtaining intelligence on hostile groups. Being born rich he shows his indifference to things of value with his bad business decisions resulting in four bankruptcies costing nearly 4,000,000,000 dollars.

Watch him squander hard earned intelligence secrets for petty political points in the coming days.

[Chemisse]

16. This is the day the Russians have been waiting for!

[Paladin]

18. Just in time for a Breitbart operative to take charge of his campaign.

Whatever is divulged to Trump in that briefing, I don't think he'll be able to keep it secret.

[Demonaut]

19. Give him a copy of "My Pet Goat", he won't know the difference

[tanyev]

20. Perhaps his tendency to blurt out anything and everything will be offset

by his inability to pay attention to anything not about himself. Or the two traits will merge and he'll leak some garbled mishmash of what was actually said in the meeting.

[Honest.Dem]

21. Exactly what I thought.

I'm still wondering how long he can keep his lips closed about it.
