I think Susan Rice had children running the National Security Council.

"I SAW A SAD STORY IT WAS REALLY SAD :(((("

Oh my God, the Obama National Security Council had so many self-conscious people.

All I've read in this article is a bunch of people bursting into tears at the mere glimpse of something Trump-related. And this part is just dumb!

"Because the policy process was largely broken, officials sought ways to quietly share information with colleagues in other agencies."

"Many downloaded encrypted apps such as Signal and WhatsApp to communicate in what they believed to be an untraceable way."

REALLY

"People from across the NSC would head to one of those directorates to use the secured phone lines to call counterparts either to get or share what little information they could."

And then they ask themselves, "why am I not trusted?"

THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE

"Numerous career staffers decided to document everything they could, what became known as 'putting it in the record.' That meant putting certain ideas and opinions in emails or copying other agencies on communications."

"Many staffers knew that by including the agencies, the information would more likely be subject to FOIA and could one day see the light of day or even land in history books. Some admit they hoped that people in the agencies would leak the information to reporters."

THE ANSWER WAS YES. UNSURPRISINGLY THEY CONCLUDE "NO."

This is the third person in this story who has BURST INTO TEARS.

A FOURTH. This one cried in his office, drinking whiskey and listening to songs from the film Moana! What a disaster these people are!

McMaster's National Security Council handed over a contradictory report on NATO!

"While many had fallen short of that commitment, others met it or were on track to do so. In short, no one 'owed' the United States anything."

HOW

YOU WROTE "MANY FELL SHORT OF THE COMMITMENT"
