And while use of the phrase and its precise meaning can vary, “presumptive nominee” tends to be a term of art that refers to something specific in advance of a national nominating convention: the person who will be a major-party presidential nominee in the general election.
And more important than the title are the benefits presumptive nominees receive. As Rachel noted on the show last night, one benefit in particular stands out:
And that means, among other things, classified intelligence briefings, which Trump is eager to receive. By some accounts, Obama administration officials have already begun preparations to provide regular updates to both parties’ presidential nominees, including Trump, with sensitive national security information.
And this opens the door to some interesting possibilities.
This might help if you ever decide to visit America.

And more important than the title are the benefits presumptive nominees receive. As Rachel noted on the show last night, one benefit in particular stands out:
“Now, today, as the presumptive nominee, [Trump] does start to get treated differently. Now starts a process that will see him ultimately get RNC staff and RNC money. He will start to get control of the Republican Party’s bureaucratic apparatus to use for his own purposes.
“Yesterday he was accusing Ted Cruz’s dad on being in on the JFK assassination. Now, he’s about to start getting classified CIA briefings as the Republican Party’s nominee for president.”
That last one is easy to overlook, but it’s quite important. Federal officials – non-partisan, career personnel – begin a process every four years of preparing would-be presidents for their prospective responsibilities.“Yesterday he was accusing Ted Cruz’s dad on being in on the JFK assassination. Now, he’s about to start getting classified CIA briefings as the Republican Party’s nominee for president.”

The United States will not tolerate the countries of the world acting like the United States, senior U.S. officials say.
In particular, according to U.S. officials speaking in a variety of media, the United States will not permit foreign intelligence services to act like U.S. intelligence agencies.
Countries where there is a general consensus U.S. security agencies, military forces and politicians have interfered with the local political process include Afghanistan, Albania, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Chad, Chile, China, Columbia, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Iraq, Italy, Korea, Lebanon, Laos, Libya, Macedonia, Mexico, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Vietnam, Venezuela, Yemen, the former Yugoslavia (including Bosnia, Herzegovina and Serbia) and Zaire.
“Obviously, interference in the U.S. election process is a very, very serious matter, and I think certainly this government would treat it with great seriousness,” John O. Brennan, director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, told the Aspen Security Forum last week in response to claims in the media Russian intelligence agencies hacked Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton’s embarrassing emails.
Representative Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said in a statement, “that foreign actors may be trying to influence our election – let alone a powerful adversary like Russia – should concern all Americans of any party.”
“There should be some public response, including sanctions,” said former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul.
White House spokesperson Ed Schultz described “a full range of options available to us in the government” to respond. “That includes economic sanctions out of Department of Treasury. That includes a number of law enforcement measures that Department of Justice has announced and has taken action on. The United States isn’t going to pull any punches in terms of our response.”
Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on the Russians to find more of Ms. Clinton’s emails. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said at a news conference.
It was thought to be business as usual last week, meanwhile, for normal hacking of Russian government computers by U.S. security agencies. The Russian government is “clearly a valid intelligence target,” said former National Security Agency General Counsel Rajesh De.
