The Phone Call

Here is a hypothetical secured phone call sometime in the future from the head of Norway’s intelligence agency (NIS) to President Trump:

Trump: Hello ...

NIS: President Trump?

Trump: Yes ...

NIS: Sir, I am the head of the Norway Intelligence Service and I have some very important news for you  ...

Trump: Yes?

NIS: Sir, we have recently recovered a body off of our northern coast who had a letter in his pocket to Putin marked “for your eyes only” which requests a wire transfer of $50 million to a bank account in Cyprus which we have traced to the head of your FBI. We have verified that this man was a Ukrainian operative with close ties to Russian intelligence and he had recently visited Washington, DC with a trip to the DNC. We believe that the head of your FBI and at least three of her lieutenants also visited the DNC shortly thereafter ... and that they have been compromised. We think that this is a serious threat to your national security.

Trump: How sure are you of what you just told me?

NIS: 100%

Trump: I can’t say how important this information is to the United States. We will not forget your help in this matter. Goodbye and thank you ...

NIS: Goodbye ...


Now, according to George Stephanopoulos and much of the US media, Trump should immediately notify the head of his FBI of this phone call. I know that this is only a hypothetical, but so was Stephanopoulos’.

Should he?
