Trump sec'y Rhona Graff pulled into Intel investigation

Rhona Graff is to Trump as Rosemary Woods is to Nixon.

Link: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/congressional-investigators-reportedly-want-to-speak-with-trump%e2%80%99s-secretary/ar-AApScr5?li=BBnb7Kz

Graff has gained the reputation as Trump's gatekeeper during her almost 30 years working for the former real estate mogul.

She remains a point of contact even though Trump has departed Trump Tower in Manhattan for the White House, according to ABC News.

Trump has said he doesn’t personally use email, so Graff has long been his medium for communicating with others.

She’d typically print out emails to Trump for him to read, according to ABC News.

Trump would write any response he felt necessary with a sharpie pen, the network reported, which Graff would then scan and send back.

Almost like he knew decades ago that it could be hacked......

I am guessing that with a sharpie, his usual email reply was a misspelled obscenity and a poorly drawn emoji.

but I guess if time doesn't matter, neither does the cost of a personal secretary.

She's in a rough spot now.

Right now she only has to deal with the Senate Intel cmte, who likely won't be too rough with her. But if Mueller decides she has useful information, dealing with his g-men and prosecutors will be a whole 'nother story. Frankly, she's the one I'd be doing a predawn raid supoena on.
