On a serious note, this is some serious national security stuff against the USA.

Open up the server for investigation - house intel committee.

Of course, the Republican party will put party over country. Republicans can never tell me about patriotism.

With a wink and a nudge they came up with this several days later. I hope these lawyers see what’s happening and don’t just let the bus run them over. Just like the Nixon administration trying to shield the president by saying it was all his advisers. Does anyone actually believe lawyers would be this dumb on their own?

They know they've been caught for their crimes. Now comes the squirming and blaming and distracting.

What reason did they have to put them there? None.

PLUS - the whistleblower report said "WH lawyers" instructed staff to put the calls in the secret server.

So seems this is a lie anyway.
