How the White House Stores Documents

The transcript of President Trump's call with Ukraine shed light on a method for classifying documents that's even more top secret than top secret. WSJ spoke to a former National Security Council official to understand the intricacies of the White House server security system.
Discussion
1. Kelly Magsamen appears to be in violation of the law or at least in violation of various agreements she must have signed to have held her position at the National Security Council and in violation of the various debriefing materials she must have signed when she terminated her position at the National Security Council. At the minimum these materials are “for official use only” and cannot be disseminated to anyone who is not authorized to receive them. This video alone should be sufficient to sustain the filing of criminal charges against Ms Magsamen.
2. My response. This is a skilled phony documentary. The speaker emphasizes the routine System and implies that there is something wrong by not following the routine system that she describes.
3. Ms Magsamen’s explanation of the actual systems is correct. However, no President, especially an outsider like Pres. Donald Trump would have any idea as to the mechanics of these systems and the differences between them.
4. Some Democrats [Including Adam Schiff] originally claimed that the transcript that was released was either incomplete or had been altered. This video which describes the process of recording and transcribing shoots down this claim 100%.
5.Now the question is being framed as “what was the Trump administration attempting to hide by moving the transcript to the system.” The real question is “why was it moved”. Here, the answer is simple. I am sure that the order to move the transcript was given only after there had been several leaks of prior head of state conversations…. and the motivation for the move was to cut down on the number of National Security Council Obama holdover staff members with access -- who were probably responsible for the prior leaks of of several head of state conversations--- which had been done in order to embarrass Pres. Trump.
6. Currently, The White House is reducing the size of the National Security Council staff in order to oust Obama holdovers who have been active in sabotaging the administration. This active reduction should be linked in any explanation of why other things were done such as the movement of the transcript from one system to another.
7, When a full explanation comes out it will have been some senior staffer with the authority to order the move who said " I have no way of knowing who is loyal, but I do know that there are many disloyal employees ... and this is the only way I know of of cutting off their routine access to these materials.”
