The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Heck, even the official White House photographer has access to SCIF's - which is why you've seen pictures of people in the Situation Room, like this one: - albaby

------------

The situation room is THE WH command center during emergencies.

How does a picture taken in this room support the assertion that staffers have access to SCIFs which are entirely separate secure rooms not used for emergency meetings?

And let's clarify staffer. I would expect that Pres and VP staffers have that clearance because their bosses do. But I would further expect that not any ol' staffer can walk in a SCIF and check something out. Which gets back to the unanswered question of how does a mere senator come to possess SCIF documents?
