President Trump has ordered that the white house visitor list be kept secret for at least 5 years.

We know that James Alefantis was a guest at the white house during the Obama years, and we know when also, because the guest list was public.
But that was before pizzagate.
Of course, the fronted reason is that it is suddenly in the interest of "national security" to keep the names of people who visit the white house secret:

Some people think it is because Trump has his old friend, Felix Sater (interesting last name--sounds like satyr) of the Russian mob, over as well as other criminals:

More on Sater:
" The relationship between Donald Trump and Felix Sater, whose father is a reputed Russian Organized Crime boss, represented a rather direct link between the presidential candidate and Russian Organized Crime. The Russian émigré — a twice-convicted felon with ties to the Mafia — appeared in photos with Trump, and carried a Trump Organization business card with the title “Senior Advisor to Donald Trump.” Trump confused when asked under oath in a 2013 about his relationship to the Russian émigré.
Sater served prison time for a grisly 1991 assault at the El Rio Grande restaurant and bar in New York. According to court documents, Sater allegedly told a man at the bar, “I’ll kill you. I’ll rip your f****** head off and stick it down your throat.” Sater then allegedly grabbed a frozen margarita from the bar, flung the contents in the air, smashed the glass on the bar, and stabbed the man in the cheek and neck, breaking his cheek and jaw, lacerating face and neck and severing nerves. He was convicted of first degree assault.
Bayrock Group LLC was a real estate development firm that partnered with Trump on numerous projects after renting office space from the Trump Organization. Sater is a top Bayrock executive in the Bayrock Group, which is headquartered in Trump Tower. The founding chairman of Bayrock is Tevfik Arif, who has reputed Russian organized crime ties. In 2010 he was charged in Turkey for smuggling underage girls into the country for prostitution. Another principal in the deal is Russian émigré Tamir Sapir, who also lives in Trump Tower. Sapir’s executive vice president and top aide, Fred Contini, pled guilty in 2004 to “participating in a racketeering conspiracy with the Gambino crime family for 13 years.”

Like Jared Kushner, Sater is involved with Chabad and was once their "man of the year": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSpFtCmoD5o
Tevfik Ariv is another interesting guy, who likes to pimp children: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/trump-pal-busted-allegedly-running-hooker-ring-yacht-article-1.191136
Ariv did the same kind of thing earlier on a different yacht, but was acquitted (!): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/apr/02/tevfik-arif
I wonder if the secret white house guest list might be hiding Alefantis and his ilk as well.
Why does the list have to be secret? They are guest's to the white house, after all.
What other names are they hiding?

Okay, so please say why he wants the guest list kept secret.

who knows. I don't. You don't.
I'm not a fan of the new policy either. So lets keep an eye on it.
Jumping to "it must me pizzagate related" is a bit premature.
