'The right way to protect U.S. govt data is for the U.S. govt to follow known best practices and policies.

As a former public servant, I take it personally when the President demeans and insults the Federal workforce. The vast majority of Feds work hard to make Americans' lives better. They deserve to be treated with respect. #PublicService #IamaPublicServant
