media-friendly outlet. i think it was the delivery method this morning that the president s attorney chose. he went on to, you know, the sunday morning shows and began a narrative that pot shally the secret service was at fault as to letting this meeting occur with the potential intelligence gathering or someone from who was trying to illicit information from donald trump jr. that s wrong. that s like saying the coast guard was at fault. you re deflating two different constructs. one is physical security and one is the intelligence community and don t co-join this. these are people willing to lay their life on the line for the president. the statement that sekulow put out on the morning shows rubbed them the wrong way? absolutely. it s wrong. you don t want to con fligflate the role is of the secret service. they have a successful,
