Hillary Clinton got her national security briefing yesterday. Unlike Donald Trump who had two aides with him, Hillary went alone. That seemed strange to me, so I have been wondering why she left the aides out. If you think about it, you realize that most people would want someone else to hear the briefing in order to help remember details in the future and also to get a differing point of view about what has been said. After all, it may be that important issues do not pop out of the briefing but only emerge after some thought. The extra eyes and minds will help in that process.
In any event, I came up with these possibilities for Hillary's conduct:
1. It may be that after the fiasco with Hillary's private unsecured email system, her aides were not able any longer to secure the necessary clearances.
2. Hillary may have told the briefers that she would bring her full set of aides only if the CIA were to make a major contribution to the Clinton Foundation.
3. Hillary may care little about the facts concerning real threats confronting the USA. After all, she would probably lie about them anyway.
4. Maybe the aides were holding a meet and greet with the Ku Klux Klan which resulted in Hillary's endorsement yesterday by the Grand Wizard of the Klan.
5. Maybe Hillary did not want witnesses to what was said so that she can later deny ever being told.
There are other possibilities, but these seem the most likely.
