There shouldn't be some proprietary reason or there shouldn't be some Queensbury rules that says, well, we don't think it's couth for us to be turning over the private emails of our staffers. Well, when I was working in the White House, every single document that we, it was all presidential records. Everything was searchable. Everything can be, has obligated to be turned over.

Why is Congress not subject to those same rules? Why do we not have that same transparency? esoteric notion that, well, it just wouldn't be gentlemanly or it wouldn't be couth for us to reveal staff emails because then maybe they might do that to us. I was like, no, how about you guys only do things in the name of the people that you're willing to stand behind? How about that being the rule?

But that doesn't seem to be... So how is this...

Yeah, well, I mean... It's shocking. Of course, sort of the psychic break of all of that is that we had talked, we had almost the same upbringing, Washington, D.C., private schools. Everyone who was my friend were the children of people who were either in the private sector or public sector working in these revered institutions.

Same exact world, all of my friends, and grew up having a dad who was from that world doing work that I really respected. That was what I believed. And even while working in the White House, never had a concept that there was any sort of conflict between the institutional sort of intelligence world and us in the White House. One of my jobs, as I said, I was the compliance person when I came in.

And so we did all of the onboarding. I brought all of these folks in. And it was my job to do, hear the rules of Washington briefing for all of the White House staff. Well, I was also the adjunct to the National Security Council. So it's sort of like a intel arm advisors to the president, which are career staffers primarily. And I thought, well, we're all on the same team now.
