The flood of intel @ProjectLincoln has received today is both remarkable and terrifying.
At the WH, the number of the infections and potential infections constitutes a national security crisis of the first order.
DM for signal.

DM for Signal. We have heard from many of you. Be safe. Stay out of the HQ. CDC recommended quarantine is 14 days. Dont risk your life for Trump. Dont put your family in danger. We know how much chaos there is. Do the right thing now and you will be ok after.

(25,496 posts)No e-mails, no communication, nothing about what to do or how to handle it, and so on.

(90,858 posts)...in a blaze of cowardice.

(25,496 posts)because the WH has no clue.
It's a bit shocking that the Lincoln Project has to basically intervene to calm WH employees and provide them with guidance. That pretty much sums up Trump's entire administration.

(90,858 posts)It is shocking

(25,496 posts)I keep shaking my head. I can't imagine what it's like for lower-level staff in the WH right now.
More victims of Donald Trump.

(90,858 posts)...save the country by letting TLP know everything they know, promising confidentiality. This appears to be follow-up.
Someone posted it here but damned if I can find it now. Someone else find it please do.

(90,858 posts)Its interesting that Signal is an encrypted program if I understood that correctly.
I get sick of people bashing Schmidt. We can learn from the past, while still focusing on the emergency we are living in NOW. And gods know it is an emergency.

(10,843 posts)He should be quarantining. But this crew has been obvious in their lack of concern when it comes to others.
I've been following along on Wilson and Schmidt's twitter feed. They've openly invited WH staff members to message them privately and have ensured their anonymity. Just like the campaign staff, no one at the WH has been given any info on what to do or how to proceed. We're talking about hundreds of people, most of whom have family and their own health to consider. Not a word from the top.
This whole thing is falling apart.
Also read an anonymous comment by a member of the Secret Service who said the team is pissed. No one was given heads up. Apparently, not surprising to the team because the comment was 'he (Trump) doesn't care about any of us.'

(14,134 posts)They need him to make a statement - so that other countries can see that everything is under control, even if we know it's not. Trump won't allow that to happen, though, because he is a Narcissistic Sociopath.
