What Garrett said.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

The terrible omen was Trump's first election. This current action is 100% expected behavior from Republicans. What would be shocking is if there were any consequences from Signal-gate.

It is interesting that during the testimony before the Senate (3/26/25) the NatSecStaf stated that Signal was approved, no Classified material was present on the channel. No discussion of the fact that some participants were in Moscow during the chat. They don’t see RU as a threat. #USACompromised

They’re honorless fascists

ru4real2.bsky.social•58 days ago

We've got something that they want $$$ and let's face it, there is no honor among thieves.

grammacappy.bsky.social•59 days ago

Loyalty. No. Honor. No. Integrity. No. It’s so 2024

For those of us without military protocol knowledge, which of the people on the group text would be forced to resign and then be prosecutes if we had a regular administration?

copperhyjynx.bsky.social•59 days ago

All fired for displaying poor judgment, lack of knowledge for use of unauthorized platforms to discuss classified information. Waltz investigated for allowing unauthorized access. Hegseth for exposing classified material.

kirklandperson.bsky.social•58 days ago

Thanks. My goodness. This is a horrifying breach.

bubbanyarlathotep.bsky.social•59 days ago

As expected.

steph1873.bsky.social•59 days ago

If I had done this when I was in the service (I had clearances that required SBIs) they would’ve thrown me so far back into prison that they would’ve been flinging nutraloaf to me with a catapult.

matt-holck.bsky.social•59 days ago

personal honor
I resigned from the DOD in 2001
when the bombs starting dropping on Iraq

sundog11.bsky.social•59 days ago

And even more importantly is that we even just assume that there will be no prosecution. That this is our given assumption is a statement that our premise of basic law has been subverted. A simple fact of tyranny.

mcarm513.bsky.social•58 days ago

lol honor and maga don’t mix

skepticmedic.bsky.social•58 days ago

They're using the "no cop, no stop" excuse. It works because they're also the cops.

mdoneill.bsky.social•58 days ago

After Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard, etc realize that there are no consequences here they are going to view Congressional testimony as a pleasure, not a trial. They will smirk, lecture, talk over the questions, and use it as just another messaging platform. It’s good TV and Trump will love it.

reluctantranger.bsky.social•59 days ago

There is no honor among (elected) Republicans. Full-stop.

schatzkin.bsky.social•59 days ago

And Trump is downplaying it while sliming Goldberg.

srdaddy13.bsky.social•59 days ago

If I had done what these fools have done regarding classified information when I was a 2nd Lt in the US Air Force Electronic Warfare Center in 1984 I would have been busted out of the military. But when a President does not care about guarding secrets then no one else in the administration will.

beachik.bsky.social•58 days ago

When Hegseth was named SecDef we all thought it would end with him found passed out drunk in a car with a dead hooker.
Instead he could be facing espionage charges.

reallivedadbod.bsky.social•59 days ago

This is surprising to no one.

retcpa.bsky.social•58 days ago

Handled classified communications back in the old Navy. Something like this getting out would have been: 1. Courtmarshall
2. Prison for a long,long time.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•59 days ago

They believe they are above any law, and any accountability.

They must be destroyed, as an existential threat to the United States.

tomjoad56.bsky.social•58 days ago

Ethics and accountability are for OTHER people, not maga chuckle dicks.

seankelder.bsky.social•58 days ago

Encouraged by Trump, no doubt

67jojow85.bsky.social•58 days ago

Any level of government employee would be fired for this any level

300ps.bsky.social•59 days ago

personal honor lol

sdwms.bsky.social•59 days ago

They have no honor

heavycritters.bsky.social•59 days ago

They know nothing will happen to them 🤷

justnormalphil.bsky.social•59 days ago

Waltz, a former Green Beret, WTF! It’s so embarrassing seeing these people in charge of troops who could loose their lives on their orders. Recruiting should bottom out with this message to the future recruits.

joesegal.bsky.social•59 days ago

the words "terrible omen" tells the story if you remove the "o".

lpollock1.bsky.social•58 days ago

Try raising a generation when these people are your examples of how to behave. As a teacher, we are always teaching to own your mistakes. Hard to do when every elected leader lies and makes pathetic excuses. This is a national nightmare on so many levels.

chasingjulian.bsky.social•59 days ago

Personal honor. Thanks for the laugh. What’s going to happen is nothing. There will be no consequences for those involved. They will investigate themselves and conclude they did nothing wrong.

twoofsix.bsky.social•59 days ago

People without honor are going to act dishonorably. They are scorpions, it’s what they do.

solitayre.bsky.social•59 days ago

saltymuleblue.bsky.social•59 days ago

The only thing that may save America from catastrophic consequences by the Trump administration is their catastrophic incompetence.

julipie.bsky.social•58 days ago

*choosing to lie and gaslight it out.

biophiliac777.bsky.social•58 days ago

Trump is still pissed about getting caught with classified docs so they know he won't back down.

rugnerd.bsky.social•59 days ago

Stay tuned for drunk texting the nuclear codes.
Nothing will come of this but some very serious concern and maybe even some level six Democratic hand wringing

themightyjoedanger.bsky.social•59 days ago

And read @vermontgmg.bsky.social 's book, "Raven Rock." From one who may or may not know something about it, it's astonishingly complete and accurate. I think. Never heard of it.

dkboyd.bsky.social•58 days ago

Garrett described the situation perfectly... it would be a matter of personal honor to resign, but since neither of them has even the faintest ghost of a suggestion of honor, they lie about it instead.

trumptinyjazzhands.bsky.social•59 days ago

I mean, buckle up if the level of incompetence on display is just the beginning. We are on the express elevator to the bottom. These people aren't qualified to manage an Arby's

rhinestonespecs.bsky.social•59 days ago

We live in a post-consequences world. Why on earth would they resign?

tractenberg.bsky.social•58 days ago

a. treason 18 U.S. Code § 2381
b. significant and repeated violations of the Regulations on ethical public service 89 FR 43695, § 2635.101

tractenberg.bsky.social•58 days ago

forgot 18 U.S.C. 793(f)(1) of the Espionage Act

upwithpeople.bsky.social•58 days ago

Not "a terrible omen" rather "predictable as all heck with much more to come and imagine what you aren't seeing" with this dumbass brigade.
