  1. SO who was in the Houthi PC Large Group, since there was a "Small" group and what did they discuss. There should be records according to the law.

  3. So you start Signal chat and you see an individual who is supposed to be there but in fact that person is Goldberg appearing to be a different individual. You proceed with the chat only to realize after the story hits, you've been duped. Everyone believes someone must have accidentally added Goldberg, even the Trump team, because this is what Goldberg reported.
    This is some real high tech spy sh*+ going on here. Signal was created for the CIA by the CIA and installed on the Trump teams equipment.
    It's taken them a few days to begin to realize what happened. It's like a ghost, there everywhere but you can't see them. This was just a stunt to make them look like fools, trust me this isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

    2. what a joke you are. Walz already admitted he added everyone in the chat.

      This was not someone hacking into the signal chat.

      You are just too dumb to see that everything is not a conspiracy against the orange Cheeto.

  5. Releasing the evidence of a breach of national security was a very patriotic thing to do. The cabinet heads lied so profusely - and are so ignorant, arrogant and dangerous that it had to be done.
    Plus they said over and over again that it wasn’t classified information.

    My God, how has our government fallen so far so quickly?
    People who don’t see it are so deeply in the cult, nothing’s going to save them. They’re drinking Jim Jones’s Kool-Aid.

  11. The Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldblum are at fault in this, and they should have immediately excused themselves from the chat, knowing that they did not belong there. Instead, they went ahead and released information claiming it to be classified and subverting the will of the American people. Every one of these fake media fucks needs to be put down in Gitmo.

    1. and the fact that military secrets are shared on a insecure channels is ok with you? You don’t seem to feel that the American people have a right to know when their administration breaks the law? It’s hard to be a troll when the people you defend are so obviously wrong and lying.

  12. Okay, so first the adminstration says the reporter is lying. Then they claim that there was no classified information in the chat. The people involved won't even say what was in the chat or if they were on it. Then the reporter releases the chat and we see them talking about the extact times that the strikes will occur. Why would anyone trust these people? How the fuck did people vote for these conmen?

    3. The admin is having to defend this daily. It gives democrats a reason to oppose things more strictly, and behind the scenes, allies are probably going to share less intel because of this, at minimum. Or even fake intel. Lots of stuff is happening because of this. Sure, trump isnt going to resign. But stuff is happening already and will continue to happen, need to see how it plays out

  16. From my perspective, the entire group is lucky these messages went to who it did and not someone who could/would have provided the information to the target. They could have moved some critical assets prior to the strike if that were the case. 2 hours' notice of an attack is lots of time to move some key items out of harm's way. Colossal failure of national security, yet they choose to dismiss it rather than acknowledge what it is.

    1. much worse could have happened. Essentially the F-117 was shot down by an inferior force in the 90s because they had an idea of where and when the plane would be. In the wrong hands this could have easily resulted in pilots lives being lost.

      Delete
    2. Absolutely. An easily missed potential outcome that is often forgotten. Military operations have to run under secrecy for a number of reason.

      Delete
    3. But you are so wrong. One of the guys was receiving these messages in Moscow. 100% his phone was under surveillance and Moscow intercepted all of this. How do I know? I am a former all-source intelligence analyst and the US has had similar capabilities for decades.

      Delete
    4. See this is the information people need to know. I was not aware one of the recipients were in Moscow but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the phones of many US officials were cloned and monitored all the time.

  17. Now, can he and his full cabinet be thoroughly impeached?

  18. Beyond the obvious points of insecurity, and lack of record keeping, it's also interesting to just read the communications.

    I honestly don't think any of them even remember that the previous administration fired back at the Houthis.

    They seem to think that they're responding to this in some unique way, and that this single act is going to stop the attacks. But based on what happened with the last administration, that probably isn't true.

    They also don't seem to know what the capabilities are of allied forces. They dismiss the idea that anyone else can make these strikes - but when these strikes happened last time, they were joint with the UK.

    There's so many aspects of this that highlight the stupidity, arrogance, and lack of knowledge or understanding with the current administration.

    1. Thank you for this comment. They are all so weirdly dysfunctional.

      They are like toddlers visiting any professional shop and becoming dimly aware that the people there are doing complicated things. They don't know what those things are, but they can and will pretend to know and try to help. It's cute.

      Until it is not cute. If they start pulling rank and pushing buttons and pulling levers it's time to find their adults nearby and let them know they need supervision.

  19. Why did the rest actually need that information? Couldn’t he have just said - operation commended at time X, expected to finalize at time X. Doubt that the rest needs to be aware of methods/weapon systems used nor the exact minute strikes will occur?

  20. It’s oddly comforting, in a twisted way, to realize that the entire so-called intelligence community, those entrusted with safeguarding truth, national interest, and public trust, is not only deeply incompetent but also pathologically dishonest. What a relief to know that the people with the most access to information are either willfully misleading the public or simply too inept to discern reality themselves. It’s like discovering the emperor not only has no clothes but also no clue, and he’s been lying about it the whole time.

This administration is dismantling our democracy, and they are making sure we can't even subpoena them about it.

  44. So the Signal chat didn’t have any classified material, but the release of more messages is still making waves. The plot thickens!

  45. I’m curious to know how this will impact public trust in both the government and the media. There’s always a lot at stake when it comes to transparency and security.
