Yeah, I understand the “know” part. Potato head is short on “know.” But as long as they claim he’s president the PDB guys had to at least try to tell him. Anything short of that would be criminal on their part. And they’d better be able to prove they at least tried to tell him. Remember that list of people Trump is sueing? That list could get bigger if WH staffers get clever in terms of beating up on Trump.
The media didn’t know in advance either. Everyone was caught unawares. Freakified even.
