A White House stenographer says she resigned over the Trump administration's lack of respect for her office after President Trump reduced the roles of the White House position.
Beck Dorey-Stein, who worked as a stenographer for the White House during the second half of the Obama administration, told CNN's New Day on Wednesday that Trump's refusal to allow stenographers in the room for meetings and interviews with some journalists crossed a line.
"I quit because I couldn't be proud of where I worked anymore," Dorey-Stein said. "I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people, and also ... not even trying to tell the truth. He wasn't even going the extra mile to have the stenographers in the room"

In an op-ed for The New York Times, Dorey-Stein added that Trump's dislike for microphones "near his face" resulted in her office having less access to the Oval Office, in many cases resulting in no stenographer being present for press conferences or meetings.
"In my five years with President Barack Obama, off-the-record discussions with reporters happened after work hours — not for an hour in the middle of the work day, and certainly not before an interview," she said, speaking of Trump's off-the-record conversation with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.

“Trump’s refusal to allow stenographers in the room for meetings and interviews with some journalists crossed a line.”
Could be that the stenographers are suspected of leaking.
True. And what the heck is a "Beck"? She's named after a beer or doesn't want to admit she's a girl. Either is a disqualifier.
The press are the least curious people around.
What would be the purpose of an off-the-record discussion with reporters that would still require the services of a stenographer?
What would be the purpose of holding these off-the-record discussions with journalists?
How many times did Obama hold these off-the-record discussions with journalists from FOX news or other non liberal journalists present?
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
...And, who the heck would hire a stenographer who does not keep the confidence of the persons for whom she works but thinks it’s appropriate to discuss her client or former client with the press?
This stenographer basically huffed, ‘well, I never’, all because President Trump has the gall to set his own schedule and decide how he wants his daily agenda carried out?
I can’t help but believe she was a happy little obamaplant for 18 months while doing the bidding of her former prissy boss.
Feeeelings, whoah whoah whoah Feeeelings, whoah whoah whoah Feeelings, since I’m a mole.
:-D
Who the hell named their kid Beck?
American enemy with hyphenated name whines about te rules for her ormer job
Unfortunately, her ability to make a difference is over
Honey-—There is a new Sheriff in town. Trump Will NEVER play by the rules Obama set up. No decent President would.
I am truly surprised you managed to continue drawing a salary for 18 months after Obama was cleaned out of the White House.
That’s a keeper

Must have been a democrat as I think it would be pretty difficult to know what was said in a room you weren’t allowed in....
I hope he doesn't lose the guy who washes bird-poop off the sidewalk! That would be the final straw!!!
“felt like” LOL

“”In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama’s stenographers. The ultimate DC outsider, she joined the elite team who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand.””

“”( Daily Mail ) Beck Dorey-Stein was 25 years old and working five part-time jobs when she serendipitously answered an ad on Craigslist for a stenographer.
Two interviews later, she was offered a job in Barack Obama‘s White House in 2012.
She went from feeling alone in the world to joining a pool of 13 reporters from the White House press corps, traveling with the president and tracking his every move.””
Former White House stenographer Beck Dorey-Stein tells how traveling with President Obama and his press pool was like ‘summer camp on steroids’
•In her upcoming memoir, From Corner of the Oval, Dorey-Stein lifts the lid on her travels on Air Force Once and her affair with a staffer
•Everyone took their drug of choice on long flights: Sonata, Xanax or Ambien – which made ‘awkward intimacy with colleagues suddenly just funny and bizarre,’ she writes
•She broke protocol when she got involved in a hot and heavy sexual relationship with one of Obama’s senior staffers in hotel rooms
•Obama’s traveling staff was almost all women and dubbed ‘the Vagiants’
Keep draining the swamp! LOL!
Don’t forget you will save 2500.00 a year.
But, but -- he has the greatest crease down his pants leg.
Yeah, I have decided that the Left really doesn't care about the truth -- at least not from their politicians.
So true.
