From what I&#x27;ve read, I gather that they don&#x27;t always tell the President everything ;) Partly that&#x27;s just complexity and incoherence. Nobody reporting to the President knows everything. Or even the important stuff. And I gather that the reporting structure is extremely convoluted.<p>Maybe it&#x27;s all just petty fiefdom bullshit. But those are standard approaches for plausible deniability. And some bits are reportedly unaccountable, walled off through &quot;need to know basis&quot; policy. So how can we know who they work for?
