Now here is a stumper. Once officially nominated, Trump will begin receiving classified briefingss

Related to things like national security to guarantee non-interruption of operations, etc in the event that he becomes president.

So here's the question of the day: how long will it take until Trump reveals classified information in a speech, interview or debate?

I'm guessing within the first week after he begins receiving the briefings.

Thoroughly sanitized and free of any important information. Guaranteed.

Personally, I wouldn't think any candidate would receive anything classified.

Candidates routinely receive classified information. Not everything classified is Top Secret, far from it. You'd be surprised how much classified information you can find just using Google.

undoubtedly been the subject of many conferences. I'm guessing briefings with a specific intent to educate while pretending to inform. What is the law in this, though?

Same for meetings with top-level people. If you were Henry Kissinger and had agreed to meet with Donald Trump, what would you hope to accomplish, if anything, and how to approach it?

within 24 hours of first briefing. He can't control himself.
