The House Intelligence Committee this week released a new report on Donald Trumps Ukraine scandal, which included phone records that pointed to a familiar concern: the president continues to use unsecured telephones. That includes frequent communications with Rudy Giuliani while the former mayor was abroad that the Washington Post reported were vulnerable to monitoring by Russian and other foreign intelligence services.
The revelations raise the possibility that Moscow was able to learn about aspects of Trumps attempt to get Ukraine to investigate a political rival months before that effort was exposed by a whistleblower report and the impeachment inquiry, officials said. [ ]
The disclosures provide fresh evidence suggesting that the president continues to defy the security guidance urged by his aides and followed by previous incumbents a stance that is particularly remarkable given Trumps attacks on Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign for her use of a private email account while serving as secretary of state.
The problem, of course, extends beyond breathtaking hypocrisy. By willfully ignoring security guidance, Trump has created a vulnerability that Russia could exploit to advance its interests over ours.

Not people here at DU, I mean people out in the general population. If the orange pustule has his personal, unsecured cell phone with him at all times then it is quite possible the russians are listening in on his conversations...and I don't mean must phone conversations, I mean all conversations, even those in the Oval Office or the White House residence, or anywhere.
