I am hoping it immediately leads to an indictment. It would be awesome to see the Republican Nominee in handcuffs. What would they do if this happens after the convention?

Unless a squirrel was on the side of the road.

Dogs can be taught to drive, btw:

4. Quite seriously, that is what I'm thinking. Too much a braggart to hold a secret.

He'll make his own decision about what needs to be held in confidence. I mean, who are we supposed to believe? Security professionals or The World's Greatest Man™?

Before, during and after the election, and always, always in his own best interest.

Trump -- not so much.

Richard Clark and Jane Harmon were both on MSNBC tonight -- separate shows. The intelligence community is freaking out a bit, but apparently the current POTUS has the say-so on just how much classified info gets presented to each candidate. The speculation is that The Donald is likely to get a very narrow slice of it, just about what you could read in the New York Times if you were interested.

Somehow I think they don't think he can keep from flapping his lips. Can't imagine why.

9. A variation on a theme?

The Secretary of Defense is giving President Trump his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion? Is that yuge?"

11. He will spill beans via 2:00 am tweets.

I've actually been wondering about this for a couple of months. They say these briefings turn the candidate's hair gray (so maybe we won't have to be blinded by the neon orange, at least).

Will we finally learn the details of the Kennedy assassination? Area 51? Has the Enquirer had the real scoop all along? It should be fun.
