Nope—wrong again.
Could well be demanding the reports to chase Shiller out of the WH. (That worked btw.) Or to intimidate conversation. Or because they aren’t always in range of the bugs. Or whatever else. And could justify exposing the bug to ship Shiller away.
However, most likely just meant to chase him out of the WH—and, again, that worked.
“And could justify exposing the bug to ship Shiller away.”
I think you need to drop the bug angle. Bugging the president? Extremely illegal and could get the ones who did it at least ten years in prison, just for starters.
