Checking in on the information security administration
By 
Trump attempted to hide his communications with both Mohammed bin Salman and Vladimir Putin:
White House efforts to limit access to President Donald Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders extended to phone calls with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, according to people familiar with the matter.Those calls — both with leaders who maintain controversial relationships with Trump — were among the presidential conversations that aides took remarkable steps to keep from becoming public.In the case of Trump’s call with Prince Mohammed, officials who ordinarily would have been given access to a rough transcript of the conversation never saw one, according to one of the sources. Instead, a transcript was never circulated at all, which the source said was highly unusual, particularly after a high-profile conversation.The call – which the person said contained no especially sensitive national security secrets — came as the White House was confronting the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which US intelligence assessments said came at the hand of the Saudi government.With Putin, access to the transcript of at least one of Trump’s conversations was also tightly restricted, according to a former Trump administration official.
You tell kids today that according to the nation’s political press the defining issue of the 2016 elections was an alleged lack of communications transparency (that didn’t actually exist) of Trump’s opponent and they won’t believe.
The collapse of Trump’s support among the vast constituency for proper maintenance of executive branch records in the Republican Party will be devastating. https://t.co/Fubf6xhbgS— Adam Serwer🍝 (@AdamSerwer) September 27, 2019
