UPDATE: Judge Boasberg has ordered the agencies who participated in the Signalgate chat to preserve all Signal messages between March 11-15 and to provide an update to the court about efforts to do so.
And the enforcement of said order will be what? And as a follow up- the consequences for not preserving them will be what? I’m going with none and none because fascists don’t follow the law or court orders. That will be the reality. Period.
I think Boasberg knows those messages vanished from their phones but… could Signal have the data stored on the mainframe to be retrieved through a forensic deep dive?
rogue elements are now running the country, with no one to stop them.
it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment
NEW: Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to preserve Signal messages sent between March 11-15, part of a federal lawsuit related to Signalgate revelations
He was actually randomly assigned but is good because (from Wikipedia) “Justice John Roberts appointed him to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in 2014, and he served as the presiding judge of the FISC from 2020 to 2021.”
They were no doubt erased the second that first Atlantic piece appeared. Or even earlier, if they realized what they’d done. Is there any way to excavate or recover those Signal chats? #SignalGate
You just know the chats were deleted but some/many, totally unqualified to be near anything classified, participants took screen shots to get off on and show others to brag about.
Hey yeah, remember when the Secret Service were ordered to preserve something similar last Shitler admin.....and then they didn't and nothing happened. Good times.
Messages are already gone and as usual there will be no consequences. This country is a lawless shithole where no rulings against Republican criminal filth is ever enforced!
And what's the judge's play when they either ignore the request or come back with, "We already deleted it. Oopsies!"? Because one of those things is going to happen.
do people not remember seeing the 'disappearing messages set to 1 week' as part of screenshots when JG first joined the chat? everything is gone. that's why they were cocky about 'no war plans, no secrets', etc. they thought everything was wiped. only proof is screencaps that JG has.
I hope he has a VERY good Computer Forensic team. Because dollars to donuts some shenanigans will be undertaken. (However: there is *always* a trace somewhere).

Thinking someone should expedite the release of that poor Turkish grad student kidnapped in broad daylight! No fake “police ice” even on them. No probable cause and whisked away in a non police, non ice vehicle by 20 years something thug criminal day laborers! This is beyond cruel and unusual!
Not really. Some people are still functional well past their mid 60s, others start deteriorating much earlier. My dad didn't retire until he was 75. Having a specific retirement age doesn't make sense to me. SS set it at 65 because that was avg lifespan then, health status makes more sense now
Then fight like hell!
April 5th
DC or your state capital...be there!
Also begin preparing for Streneral Gikes. Spring/Summer of Democracy is upon us! Be ready! ✌️
We're witnessing people being disappeared off of our streets like entirely fascist regimes completely embedded, unopposed, and all we can do is sit here with our jaws agape... And Schumer shakes his fists angrily before shrugging and shaking hands with the Nazis.
More people need to attend protests and call their members of Congress and Senators every day. Even more so if they're MAGA. Attend town halls, empty chair town halls if your rep refuses to host them. We need to use our Democracy to save our Democracy.
I felt pretty good about 2026 until moments ago. They're moving so quickly, effortlessly, and with minimal obstruction, smashing everything. They'll have our voting systems rigged, the regulations, laws, procedures, etc, so thoroughly, I don't see anything, any one, or any chance of stopping them.
If we are somehow able to rise up, yank these degenerates out of office and save our democracy, I would hope that we can clean out our Supreme Court too.
Supreme court justices who can be bought are incompatible with a functioning democracy.
Unfortunately, we've made so many missteps along the way, recently culminating in Schumer's rolling over and totally capitulating for Trump, I'm terrified we're beyond the point of no return. As it is, I have to root for epic and across the board failure and catastrophe for any hope to expunge MAGA.
“We” absolutely not. Over half of you have done so much to protect democracy & prevent this nightmare. Unfortunately, the majority of your leadership are spineless. Only a few are fighting so darn hard. It is unbelievable. Hang tight. 🇨🇦 loves the 🇺🇸 but 90% of us HATE the convicted felon & his Adm.
It's not completely hopeless. There have been several state and local elections I've seen reports of where Dems flipped GOP seats, and there are more coming up soon. If the Dem candidate wins in the state court election next week it may discourage Muskrat from throwing money at our elections.
Meanwhile the innocent men who had the unlucky circumstance of having soccer and autism tattoos are being abused in a notorious sadistic jail. God knows what is happening to them. This is MAGA Gestapo garbage.

We don't have to do things this way on our side of the aisle. There's so much damning information in this scandal that circulating unverified garbage only hurts the cause, and allows the idiots in charge to cry about how the left is lying. Unhelpful.
They are! It’s so obvious we are blending with or obeying Russias desires. Sadly, my GOP acquaintances care only about immigration. When I ask about Russia they look
Vacant.
As the problems of Signalgate mount,
Issues come up. So many to count.
A big question has risen we can’t discount.
Why does Hegseth have a Russian email account?
Will it be in time to prevent disappearing messages?
Is there going to be a convenient order for everybody to delete the Signal app to prevent a "future occurrences"? (All the messages disappeared)
Will State Secrets be invoked?
Which unwitting attorney is going to be stuck defending this shitshow?
Can we call it something other than signalgate? PLEASE?! Whiskey Leaks is right there! How about "This administration is so dumb... 'how dumb is it?' ... This administration is so dumb it leaks war plans to the press."?
Great time is of the essence as DOJ isn’t going to do anything, neither will the FBI nor Executive Branch. The Senate Armed Services Committee wrote a letter as did House Minority Leader but hell I could’ve done that! We must bet on our judicial branch.
Great! But in all honesty, whatever outcome, this administration could care less n nothing will happening. But I’m glad this judge is standing up n doing something
I've been calling it The Signal Scandal. Saw something the other day from Heather Cox Richardson saying she really hates that -gate gets added to every scandal. I agree. Watergate is a minor incident compared to what's going on now.
I hope the Judge is aware of why the #Trump Administration instructed all to use Signal to begin with. Noted in #Project2025 AND that it violates the law when they use it set to "disappearing" msgs as they are gone w/in 4 weeks I believe. Also to avoid #FOIA. They think they're so clever.
Does anyone really believe this was the first time they used Signal? Most likely since they took control of not earlier. It is just that their stupidity caught up with them.
Right at the same time China's military is being purged of Xi loyalists & anti-Xi forces are gunning to create enough chaos to topple him (i.e., a major incident; see video).
I hate the intersection of these developments happening at the same time. Krasnov's admin is clearly unprepared for it.😔
That better not happen. Do you think for a minute MAGANazi would have let Biden's DOJ command any judge who wasn't a loyal D recuse him/herself from every case, arguing R can't be just? They filed and let Trump's stolen classified docs case stay with his unqualified 11th-hour rigged Aileen Cannon.
Was Trump at Mar-a-lago during this debacle? Did he ok this while there? Does that establish cause? Because that's what happenend during the last classified doc fiasco.
Either he was there or he was at his golf course in New Jersey, or he could’ve been at the White House. I don’t know exactly where he was because I don’t know the exact date of that chat, but he wasn’t involved in the chat so he has nothing to do with the change of venue.
Come on down to #WhiskeyPete's for free #WhiskeyLeaks Every Tuesday. And Don't miss Nazi Night on Thursday
Don't worry, we don't SELL America's Active War Secrets to the Enemy, silly. We post them on Public Chats with the reporters we hate the most. Just more #MagaMoron transparency = Winning
I bet that re-broadcasting this will lead to being held in contempt quicker than the shenanigans being pulled by the DoJ in the deport plane case. It's almost like there's two sets of rules. In one set, even the most petty of offenses is met with quick retribution and the other ignored.
Even worse, those clear refusals to follow court orders are seen as smart legal maneuvering. They're allowed to invent defenses about international waters, verbal orders, and the letters of the order. Just gross.
Thanks Mr. Cheney for reporting up to the minute court filings/findings so that we the public can keep up. Your hard work and dedication is so appreciated!
They're now in a really well set trap. If they don't show, they are in Contempt and the Judges can thusly deputize anyone to arrest them (and no, Bondi can't stop this if it's the Marshals).
The request is for the agencies involved in “signal gate” to maintain records of the communications per policy. The judge granted the request and the govt agreed. And it was over. 😀
I wish I was more optimistic. Isn't this the judge who still is effing around with the regime after they gave his order to stop the flights the middle finger?
I hope he asks the purpose for Joe Kent being added to the Signal group chat. He has not been confirmed nor sworn in and probably has no security clearance! What was Gabbard thinking?
Pentagon warned staffers against using Signal before White House chat leak
Bulletin sent on 18 March said Russian hackers could access messages as Trump officials now downplay blunder
Listening to the hearing, the defense is lying through their teeth. Signal was used so the record would not be preserved. Now they are saying they are struggling to get the required records.
I call BULLSHIT, P2025 calls for the use of un recorded conversations to avoid the laws.
I kept telling everyone this was coming and the Justice's slowness was THE POINT. It was there to help set traps, build an airtight case, and finally catch these weasels at the right time.
That is why the courts are slow. They want to be DAMN sure they catch their man.
This is also what I keep saying. People are complaining about something being done ASAP, but the judiciary is hanging on by thread and they have got to make things airtight. Unfortunately, it takes time but it’s happening.
Listened in. Was short. But I think I caught the multi-case in-joke when Judge Boasberg said to the government counsel, "Don't worry. I'll put it in writing."
Comments
The story didn't break until March 24, so the records would all be deleted by now, wouldn't they?
Not saying that's going to happen again. But signal has a built-in feature to auto-delete and I'm sure they'll just run out the clock.

That’s why they used it.
...which should be entered as evidence of knowledge of wrongdoing.

I can guarantee there is more Signal texts on other topics

A record of their locations (because local routers keep a *lot* of data, especially hotels and offices)
