#2 What a novel idea. A Special Access Communications program with no 'Deep State' access. An obvious attempt to thwart leakers. Little wonder the Deep State is butt hurt.

What good is a disinformation program if you don't have access to the information.

#3 I wonder if they got the idea from Obama's secret channel when he did the Iran nuclear deal.

I wonder if they got the idea from Obama's secret channel when he did the Iran nuclear deal.

Seems as though I remember Soetoro sending special, rather secretive representatives to conduct face-to-face discussions on the Iranian deal. Soetoro always preferred the 'back nine' for more intimate discussions here at home. Clandestine monitoring and unauthorized leaks 'be hard' on the 'back nine.'

#6 What's an "RU Ambo"?

Russian ambassador, Herb McCoy7309. It took me a while and many, many questions, to learn the lingo, too. But afterward one knows more than one did before, always a good thing. ;-)

Question: if President-elect Trump and his son-in-law-cum-advisor Jared Kushner wanted to smoke out the leakers in the intelligence community vis-a-vis the Russian nonsense, how would they go about it?

#8 My bad Herb. I always try to keep the topic lines as short as possible. Will attempt to minimize abbreviations in the future.

Sorry g(r)om we're trying to shorten the list and that wouldn't help at all.
