Not sure that is how the Federal Government is supposed to work...

Yeah or the classification process.

Isn’t an NDA just a contract between two parties?  It’s not a legal document. It’s never been tested for government work and I doubt would hold up in a civil court. 

in the context...the person who gets access to classified information signs an NDA to protect the information.   That is also wrapped up in a raft of classification regulation in which you are not allowed to use classification to protect the reputation of the organization.   However, Doofusmctrumpusface won't understand that and will conflate them with the NDAs he made his employees sign to protect...unflattering information.

You're thinking like a rational person would think, which is why you are wrong.   It's quite clear looking at her what the real issue is, this aging women thinks it's alright to just represent his whims without truly representing the most important thing to Trump, physical looks.  She has refused Mar-a-lago face and he's not going to tolerate that.

Definitely a legal document, but you can't use it to hide behind illegal acts.  As a public official, no idea if it is even legal to sign an NDA related to your work though.  

What I mean by a legal document is the law can’t come after you.  Poor choice of words. It’s not a criminal act to “break” one. Nobody will arrest you.  If you sign one and I thjnk you break it by only course of action is to sue. I can’t call the cops or city hall.

That’s what I am getting at.  What a government employee signs because of their job and the data they have access to is not th same thing as Trump making his whores sign so they won’t talk about his sick or his employees won’t talk about tbhim young girls visiting mar a Lago.

Yeah...I didn't go into why he would think it meant one thing and not the other when i brought it up as a lever on his people who leave.  However, they do probably also have sweetheart deals set up for them so they don't roll.  Or, he's got goons threatening them.  

I think Trump Inc. knows how to intimidate and cajole their risks.

This, by the way, highlights the banal evil genius behind the very visible, very public acting out by Trump and his various minions with things they say and antics they engage in: while they are distracting us with that kind of pointless theatrical nonsense, the really terrible destruction of American preeminence, like this, takes place without anyone noticing.

Right - a corporate NDA can only lead at most to a civil suit. If you are dealing with classified information you are subject to criminal sanctions under various Federal Statutes. FTM even if you never signed anything!
