Look at the Obama years, for example. Look at how Trump even got in this position. Look

0:11.1

at all the various institutional heads who abused their positions in power, where this

0:17.9

line between lobbying and treason became increasingly blurry and classified information

0:24.8

and documents became a kind of global currency. And people are so wrapped up in the physical,

0:31.9

printed, tangible materials that I think they forget that a greater and easier threat

0:38.0

is digital media, digital materials. People were rightfully upset about Snowden, you know,
