The material, classified material that is in the hands of the National Security Council is always held on the grounds of the White House at the OEOB, the Old Executive Office Building, otherwise known as the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. And it\u2019s just across a narrow street that\u2019s actually used for transportation, a little parking there. You come out of the West Wing in the back, and you walk across a little street, and there\u2019s the Old Executive Office Building. It\u2019s where the vice president\u2019s office is, ceremonial. It is where the National Security Council\u2019s offices are.<\/p>\n

Whenever you hear such-and-such, White House counsel, White House staffer, 95% of them don\u2019t work in the White House or the West Wing. The West Wing\u2019s actually a very small complex and it\u2019s crowded and it\u2019s overflowing with people. The Old Executive Office Building — Google this or, you know, look at it on apple maps. It\u2019s plain as day. You can see it plain as day. But that\u2019s where all this intel is being held. It\u2019s not actually in the White House. A minor point, but it\u2019s not in the White House. It\u2019s the Old Executive Office Building now known as the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s probably up on the fourth floor which is where the National Security Council is based and of course the National Security Council\u2019s part of the executive branch, part of the president\u2019s intel apparatus. They have exceptional security up there, and it is a time honored tradition to put highly classified material there and to have congressmen come there to view it. SOP. Standard operating procedure.<\/p>\n
It is not unusual for the White House to extend an invitation to Shifty and the Senate counterparts to head over here and look at this. The White House: We\u2019re not hiding anything. Nunes came up and saw it, you can come see it. And these senators and members of the House and the Democrats say: screw you, we\u2019re not coming up on your turf. You send it over to us. And there\u2019s a turf war going on, a little bit of a breakdown there.<\/p>\n
