I think you are on target. Possible that Trump has found a bug left behind by the Obama people, too. Which revelation would be explosive, indeed. He’s keeping it as a hole card and letting the scum from highest to lowest know, he has the goods.
“Possible that Trump has found a bug left behind by the Obama people, too.”
I believe the following reasons should motivate any American/freedom loving patriotic administration to seek to do business outside of the iconic and traditional work places known to the agencies of government.
1. The WH has been targeted by intelligence services around the world for many decades.
2. The holy grail of political power mongers has been to know the conversations, secrets, and intentions of the opposing party and or administrations.
3. Socialist/progressive left administrations have for decades been involved in firing and placing near universal and loyal socialist/progressive officers and personnel throughout the plethora of US government security agencies, and all other agencies of our government.
4. WH renovations and expansions have almost continually taken place under left wing administrations.
For these reasons alone, it would be suicide for any patriotic American loving administration to be involved in decision making conversations and business within known Executive Branch administrative locations.
