To Protect National Security, Send A Subpoena To Mar-a-Lago

Lax Security at the ‘Winter White House’ Threatens the Nation

By Joe Conason, The NationalMemo.com

We were sitting on the patio at Mar-a-Lago recently, enjoying drinks and dinner with a few friends, when Donald Trump suddenly showed up.

He scowled at me for a few seconds and then did a double take. Perhaps he was rattled to encounter on his own property a journalist whose skeptical coverage dated back to the era when Roy Cohn was still fixing politicians for him. (Back then, I wrote a weekly column in the hallowed pages of the Village Voice with Wayne Barrett, the nonpareil investigative reporter and Trump nemesis who is gone but by no means forgotten.)

Trump walked away but returned to our table a few minutes later with a cordial greeting for me as well as our host, who is a club member. Before we left, he came back again, this time with Melania Trump on his arm, to make a gracious introduction.
