Dumb question about Trump/Putin phone calls.

[LuckyCharms]

I would assume that these calls are recorded and saved, right?

I am also wondering what level of security clearance, and the "need to know" requirements to have access to the contents of the recordings.

Thanks.

1. After Vindman I'll bet he has no one but sycophants listening in.

2. I wonder about that also - you would think there would be a law

that such calls must be recorded.

3. In principle, surely it's top secret / compartmented

In practice, these f*ckers are either destroying it or locking it up without putting it in the system. Only a heavily redacted version would ever be seen by more than a handful in Donnie's inner circle and I guess the translator.

4. Aren't our allies allowed to record phone calls from within the US to dubious people

outside the US?
