White House Weighs Personal Mobile Phone Ban For Staff (bloomberg.com)
The White House is considering banning its employees from using personal mobile phones while at work. While President Trump has been vocal about press leaks since taking office, one official said the potential change is driven by cybersecurity concerns. Bloomberg reports: One official said that there are too many devices connected to the campus wireless network and that personal phones aren't as secure as those issued by the federal government. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly -- whose personal phone was found to be compromised by hackers earlier this year -- is leading the push for a ban, another official said. The White House already takes precautions with personal wireless devices, including by requiring officials to leave phones in cubbies outside of meeting rooms where sensitive or classified information is discussed. Top officials haven't yet decided whether or when to impose the ban, and if it would apply to all staff in the executive office of the president. While some lower-level officials support a ban, others worry it could result in a series of disruptive unintended consequences.
Trump won't follow rules or force his children to be subject to them, so this plan is doomed to failure like everything else this administration of traitors tries.
It is written so in the Alabama bible.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Nice deflection.
Basically you're arguing that two (or three) wrongs make a right. They don't.
And this is a perfect example of exactly the kind of "But what about-ism" that Twitler and company have engaged in since the beginning of the campaign. The whole "but what about Benghazi," "what about email server," "what about on and on and on."
What about Benghazi, that eleven investigations turned up no wrong doing. Ancient history. Thanks, we're past that now.
So, to the point: nothing about Obama's or Hilary's phones has any bearing now on what Twitler should or shouldn't be doing with phones. Nothing. If there are rules, and POTUS is supposed to be obeying the rules, then let's talk about that. Anything else, komrade, is deflection. Stay on target. Don't digress. We don't care about Obama's phone. What we care about now is Twitler's phone. That's what we're talking about.
