Technical Support
Description
An internal White House technical support unit responsible for desktop computing, software maintenance, and local network oversight. In the current material they function as the administrative cyber‑monitoring and troubleshooting team that flags anomalous messaging behavior — accusing Margaret of spamming, 'smurfing,' or running a Trojan — and thereby act as a background operational service interfacing with aides and staff. Their presence supports daily digital continuity while occasionally surfacing as a minor, comic antagonist within staff interactions.
