"The Vindman Rule" has been enacted

Peach fot tie fi!
Fewer administration officials are allowed to listen to President Trump's phone calls with foreign leaders after the president's July 25 call with the leader of Ukraine became a central part of the House impeachment inquiry, CNN reported, citing White House sources.
Transcripts of the calls are also being given to a smaller number of officials, sources told the news network.
Multiple officials told CNN that when Trump speaks with world leaders, only a select few are on the call, and the list is approved by national security adviser Robert O'Brien.
Previously in the administration and during other presidencies, a greater number of officials were reportedly permitted to listen in, including aides with expertise on the countries involved in the calls.
One official jokingly referred to the change as "The Vindman Rule," a reference to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who listened to the July 25 call and reported it to National Security Council lawyers. LINK

They’ll still claim to have talked to a guy who talked to a guy who worked with someone who eavesdropped on the call.

I’d really like to think that Mister Vindman will have a hard time listening in on WH phone calls from his new duty station at a weather outpost in the Arctic Circle.

The most important story in all of this mess is how much this has damaged us with foreign relations. What foreign leader will trust speaking to any President now? They know that they are at risk of being exposed publicly.
This seriously should be the main talking point of all networks and politicians.

"The Vindman Rule," Is essential when Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman mistakenly thinks an unelected Army officer has the Constitutional authority to countermand the President’s right to run American foreign policy.
Vindman is a scum bag that deserves to be perpetually bypassed for promotion. After the PEACH MINT fiasco is over, Trump needs to push the WB and company out of all White House functions.

they don't, but the conservative pundits out there along with the actual pols need to be forcing this issue. This entire farce has severely damaged all Presidents and their ability to conduct foreign affairs. This is major.

I think it’s safe to say that Mister Vindman’s military career is effectively over. You can only be passed over so many times before you’re separated.

Could this be a troll job on the news?

Here's a sobering thought.
At least half of his senior raters (the real arbiters of promotion) are General officers now.

You need some self reflection after 3 years of being dead wrong about everything because all the people you trust lie to you.

So dishonest.
And the funny thing is you say Trump extorted somebody, but the House's own impeachment articles list no statutory crimes at all
Weakest "case" in American history. Hang your head in shame, mmcgrath. National embarrassment

Try to concentrate on this part of the post you quoted:
If foreign leaders believe their personal conversations with our President will be leaked and turned into a political circus, do you not see how that could hurt all of us eventually? Important matters between leaders being greatly curtailed??
