We agree on the first.

If someone stands on some sort of personal principal that as President you don't have the right to know and should not even be asking, well that sort of arrogance means you need to resign right away before you are fired.

Here is where I differ with you. If the President was there - no problem, but the President wasn't there. It looked like there was no notice for one, two - clearances? They walked in unannounced, and it wasn't clear, but it seemed none of them had the proper clearances. So I bet you, that even though those 2 fellows were put on paid leave, that in the meantime there was a scramble to 1. get them the proper clearances, 2 think through what level of clearance they needed, and 3. verify with the White House that they were there on orders from the President.
