What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDeputy Director Matthew Quinn leaves the Secret Service on November seventh, and tonight the reaction is mostly anonymous, which brings us to a man in a parking garage.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe is a source familiar with the matter, so I have to ask what you actually know about why Quinn is leaving.
Barnaby OstrowskiI can neither confirm nor deny. But I can confirm this garage charges nine dollars after the first hour, and I am on level three, which I should not have said.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou just told a national audience your level.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo let me ask again, because the agency faces rising threats against the president and questions about counter-drone preparedness. What do you know about that?
Barnaby OstrowskiI'm unable to comment on that either way.
Barnaby OstrowskiBut I can confirm I am holding a document, and it is stamped with the time I entered, and I believe that makes it classified.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSir, that's just a parking receipt.
Barnaby OstrowskiA validated parking ticket, which is the highest clearance there is.
Barnaby OstrowskiI can neither confirm nor deny that I learned all of this from a push alert at dinner.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the whole inside story is that you read the same alert as everybody else, in a car.
Barnaby OstrowskiNeither confirm nor deny. Hold on, the gate is lifting. Please never say I was here.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSir, you were on live television, on level three, for four minutes.
