BEACON GLOBAL STRATEGIES' INTERPRETATION OF THE TIME FRAME AND DETAILS THAT WOULD HAVE EVOLVED AS U.S. INTELLIGENCE ACTORS BECAME AWARE OF RUSSIA'S INTERVENTIONS / HACKING INTO THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - I.E. WHAT INTERPRETATION WAS DEVELOPED OF THE MISSION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF PRESIDENT PUTIN'S VIOLATION OF ACCEPTED INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS PROHIBITING INTERFERENCE INTO THE ELECTIONS OF ANOTHER NATION STATE ? [see also, Foundation For Democracies - R&D : Who]
"Once the Democratic and Republican parties officially nominate their Presidential candidates at their political conventions this (2016) summer, the nominees will be offered intelligence briefings before the general election. We asked Michael Morell, the former Deputy Director and twice Acting Director of the CIA, to explain how these briefings work ...
The Cipher Brief: Can you tell us why the sitting President offers those briefings to the nominee from each party?
Michael Morell: There is a great deal of confusion about these briefings in the media. After a candidate has been formally nominated by her/his national convention, she/he is offered a one-time intelligence briefing (sometimes over multiple days if there are time constraints or if a candidate wants to go deeper on a particular topic). They do not receive a daily briefing. They do not receive regular update briefings during the campaign. They do not receive the President’s Daily Briefing. Those only come for the president-elect, after the election in November. There is also confusion in the media as to why every post-war president has offered these one-time, post-convention briefings to the candidates. The objective is not to start preparing the candidate to deal with the myriad national security issues that they will face six months down the road, if they win the election. The objective is to protect national security during the campaign by giving the candidates a deep sense of the national security landscape.
Let me explain: both our adversaries and our allies and partners will be listening closely, extremely closely, to what the candidates say about the issues during the campaign, and saying the wrong thing could damage our national security. The briefings are meant to help prevent that. Let me be clear, though: during the initial, one-time briefing, the candidates are not advised on what to say or what not to say about national security issues on the campaign trail. The hope is that by simply giving them an objective, unbiased understanding of the issues, the dialogue on those issues during the campaign will be carried out in a way that does not undermine U.S. interests ...
TCB: Who is actually involved in the briefings?
MM: On the government side, the briefing teams are usually composed of senior leaders from the analytic arms of the Intelligence Community agencies, along with senior analysts who, on a day-to-day basis, cover the issues to be discussed. I played the former role in a number of briefings for candidates over the years. On the candidate’s side, they are permitted to bring their closest national security aides. In my experience, that has ranged from just one person to two-to-three people. But there is no just showing up.
The IC (Intelligence Community) must approve in advance all of the attendees. TCB: Are there any limits to what the nominees can be told? For instance, will they be provided with classified information or details of ongoing operations? Are the candidates in essence given security clearances? MM: Absolutely, there are limits on what candidates are told. The briefings are classified Top Secret, but the candidates are only provided the analytic judgments of the IC and the information used to support those judgments.
They are not provided with the details of how that information was collected—what the IC calls sources and methods. They are not provided with any information on any ongoing covert actions programs related to the issue being discussed. They are not provided with any operational information. Those only come after a candidate wins the election ..."
