Another thing…

It would be nice to get to the bottom of the many and mysterious visits of Jeff Gannon to the White House in former times. Or is that covered by secret privilege also?

Honestly these repeated claims of state secrets and hidden process are becoming outrageous. That’s why I was only half-facetious in suggesting the federal rules of evidence could be made state secrets.

Obviously, obviously, ANY knowledge of governmental functions from where the limousines get their tire pressures checked, to who supplies the brass polish for the door knobs, could, in some alternate universe, be used by malefactors to the furtherance of their evil schemes.

Do we seal up the whole government and all its processes in a Black Box therefore to frustrate the imagined plotters?
