Clinton campaign breaks silence, demands declassification of Russian election hack intel

I doubt there is a plan yet.

“Receiving an intelligence briefing” usually implies some sort of clearance (joining the 4+ million people who already have some sort of “security clearance” in the US); “declassifying intelligence” implies something else.

Both wordings are used in the article. So I asked.

I had originally written “no longer a democracy” and then changed the wording to “democratic country”. I was hoping that the people who adhere to that strange America-only way of using the terms “democracy” and “republic” would still agree that a “republic” is a “democratic form of government”.
