Yes, but unless the White House has change radically, only the very top advisors have access to those sort of things. When you were a child in school, did your teacher fill you in on the gossip from the teacher’s lounge? Of course not! Spear carriers might hear something second or third hand, but by then it’s like the telephone game we played as kids.
Translator? Or a translator’s phone ?
I thought it interesting that in the phone call to Mexico and the one to Australia that they were hand wringing over, FOX said the leaker was from the state department.
I wondered the same thing. Does the state department record or listen in on calls? Is this standard?
We had no Sec of State yet, so I was wondering if it was just a few yahoo’s who were insisting they need to listen in to give advice to Trump or something like that.
I don’t know how all this works, but I wouldn’t be allowing a dozen people to listen in on my calls.
And if I did have a leaker, I’d set them up. Get some Rich Little like guy on the phone to pretend he was Putin, then make some outrageous claims and see who let the information go in some sort of sting.
Then I say “well that would be easy” unless of course there are hundreds of people listening in on these phone calls.
Boggles my mind.
