OMG, so chilling! Communication Directors, don't make any major announcements about anything until the Beachhead Team has time to deploy and review policy.

Pretty clear this is aimed at Media People within these agencies, and it's talking about Agency Social media, not individual employee media.

"Wait, did you support Obama, who used the Espionage Act more than any President in History, mostly to punish Government Whistleblowers? I just want to check in so you can point me to where you criticized that."

But, you supported Trump because you said he'd be better than Obama??!?? Where is your criticism as he is turning out to be MUCH worse?

OK, those articles should be coming out in the next few days after the administration has had time to identify and fire the individuals who tried to express their right to free speech and tweet out facts.
