@grumpybozo Isn't it a question of what "authorization" means? I'm sure his login had it. But it doesn't mean he cold tap POTUS -
@emptywheel on a MAC system, all actions subject to enforced authz policy at a fine granularity & auditable. NSA invented the model (3/3) -
@grumpybozo So why does govt claim they don't know WTF (Which I don't believe)? -
@emptywheel If TS docs were on DAC systems where he had admin (god) access: huge mgmt failure & prob. impossible to know what he got (1/4)

@emptywheel Reuters says Gov't doesn't know what he got. Didn't know he was guy. So much for keystroke audits. -

@emptywheel His claims of power aren’t credible for an admin in a secured environment. If true, there’s a huge systemic problem. (1/3)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
