There it is - a diplomat's aide heard a call on a mobile phone in a restaurant. Seriously?

So Sondland is sitting at a restaurant table, calls the President, and puts his phone on speaker? Seriously?

One of the first rules of telephonic security is that YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SECURITY ISSUES IN AN OPEN PLACE AND SPEAK SO LOUDLY/LET PEOPLE HEAR THE VOICE ON THE PHONE.

If this phone call break of security protocol is true, then Sondeland should be punished for it. The “aide” who overheard it should also be punished for a breach of security.

If it was a “fake news” item, then CNN should be sued over it.

After all CNN stands for the Communist News Network and it cannot be trusted at all.
