He asks, "If he had been the sitting president, would he have had the same security he had on July 13th or would it be beefed up?"
She answered, "There is a difference between the sitting president and continuity of government and the responsibility we have."
She is essentially saying that because Trump is not president, the continuity of government necessity is not in place and so that lowers the responsibility of the secret service.
He responds, "OK, so he did not. There wasn't a full CAT team, etc..."
They are both agreeing that Trump did not have full protection because Trump isn't president. He is implying that posture is negligent and ridiculous. She is trying her best to dance around the fact that Trump wasn't provided adequate security by hiding behind continuity of government protocols only applying to a sitting president.
She also admitted we're in a continuity of government. That in it's self is a massive BOOM!
