«The night before the election, we deployed two teams so that we would be ready to provide a PDB brief the next morning to whomever won,» Clapper said, referring to
the Presidential Daily Briefing.
Likewise in the United States, as soon as the
Presidential Candidate of the Opposition party is selected (lord forbid it's Donald Trump), he or she is
briefed daily on national security and other matters which are deemed to be of national interest.
