Seems like a SERIOUS security/safety breech.

And apparently Meadows burned so many documents that his wife complained to Cassidy Hutchinson about his dry cleaning bills - he always smelled like smoke!

Of course, by the time he did it, there wasn't much left to burn.

Not to make light of this story, but I was reminded of the time Josh tried to start a fire in a fireplace in the White House on West Wing. Jocularity ensued. He wasnt burning secrets, it was attempt to keep warm.
