I had the opportunity to view the Senate hearings yesterday to see the latest dance about the camp fire. What struck me, and this now must reflect age, was as the DNI was speaking one of his aides apparently was continuously on his smart phone and both chuckling and sharing it with a colleague.
In the old days if that happened the employee, yes a Government employee we pay for, would be seeking alternative occupations.
But I gather the messages were more important than the content of the briefing.
Just an observation. Oh well, they are on their way out any way.
