So, wait, they DON'T want the FBI to have access to their communications? I wonder why, with such completely apolitical crime fighters being in charge there?
Like data about what they've been doing to interfere with elections for the last eight years? The worry will soon be ended. Those "federal officials" will soon cease to be so and thus be out of their misery. They will be former intelligence officials, and can spend their retirements writing letters in which they lie to cover up for the Biden Crime family.
Let them keep insisting, stomping their little feet, etc. They have more than earned the mistrust, and even the hate felt by Trump and anyone associated with Trump, which is a good description of the people the DOJ/FBI targeted for the last eight years.
If the situation is so "sensitive" why are "anonymous federal officials" discussing it? "Sensitive" is one of the many excuses the DOJ/FBI used to hide information from Congress the last eight years. Also, agency employees "considering?" What kind of journalism is that, reporting what people are "considering?" If they actually withold any information, then there's a story. Until then, it is more TDS wishful thinking.
First time ever that our adversaries have tried to hack our senior officials? Or does it happen to every presidential transition team, but the "journalists" only care when they think it makes Trump look bad?
