And he's an idiot too

Jeff J.D. Gannonguckert, in an interview with Editor and Publisher, about why anyone would think that letting him in to the presidential press conferences and briefings under an alias, and with questionable journalistic credentials, suggested a security breakdown:

If I am a Republican shill, wouldn’t you think I am the least amount of a threat to the president?

Precisely the point. So which is it? An appalling security breakdown, or is he a Republican shill?

Inquiring minds want to know.
