░░░░░░░░ of went Outside of ░░░░░░░░ normal chain of Command ░░░░░░░░ would raise red flags ░░░░░░░░ the intelligence agencies as ░░░░░░░░ as just his family ░░░░░░░░ And the ways they ░░░░░░░░ in contact With foreign ░░░░░░░░ and Foreign entities as ░░░░░░░░ In some ways it ░░░░░░░░ not Surprising Here is ░░░░░░░░ president who likes to ░░░░░░░░ unilaterally and doesn t ░░░░░░░░ much respect
