Anyone who is a public figure or in any position of responsibility now knows from the Snowden NSA revelations and the Wikileaks CIA disclosures that privacy is a dangerous myth and a bed-time story told to little children.

I have long suspected that part of Mr. Trump's business success was an ability to keep his inner-most thoughts and plans very private. An informed business opponent can be more prepared.
Somehow, Possibly via hand-written notes, or trusted/vetted messengers, communications were made.
Years ago, I worked with a guy that had a method of vetting all the newbies to the company. He would take them aside, befriend them, seemingly earn their trust and quite casually drop a comment, a rumor if you will, as if it was common knowledge within the insider group.
