“For the Congress, the press, and the public to know much about what the president was doing for them, with our help, was unnecessary and irrelevant... This sounds paternalistic to the point of being antidemocratic, and so it was… It was in the national interest to tell them whatever would best serve to free the president from their interference.”

The short-sighted could muck it all up…
(Dan 2:42,43)
