Buttigieg: "I know this -- in my experience both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system."

So, should we conclude they were planning everything in an unclassified system instead of one classified since the beginning?? Because, according to the reporter,he found the information because HE WAS INCLUDED IN A CHAT GROUP. Can anyone be included in a chat in a classified system?
tRump is not our president. He doesn’t represent us, is not protecting our laws our constitution. He is terrorizing 350 million Americans! Our constitution demands our military step up and back up our judicial system: remove him and his minions. Presidential immunity doesn’t cover this coup!
We DO have an opportunity to try and hammer congress to use this as the opportunity they need to pursue a vote to get Hegseth out. There were 3 Republicans who were against him getting in to begin with. It might be workable. 😬
McConnell in particular seems to not fully support the administration.
The American adversaries are ALWAYS actively attempting to bring down America, wether through cellphones, apps, any kind of espionage you can think of.
Knowing that Trump is definitely in the pocket of the Kremlin using Signal may have been why they used it then?
Every reporter should ask each admin secretary “How many Signal text chains are you on to conduct government business while skirting numerous federal laws?”
“Are you convinced that Signal is more secure than US Government secure communications systems?”
"Of course not." We know now that there's nothing - absolutely nothing - that is too egregious for Republicans to speak out against Trump or his cabinet of treasonous, incompetent freaks.
There's been this post going around that asks if Putin had control of our government would he be doing anything differently. This is some majorly fucked-up shit.
So, there was a metric shit ton of spillage that occurred, when will the CERT happen and who will be tasked to cleanse those devices, you see in the military that is a term for classified information being transmitted on unclassified systems!
It’s almost like the WH is being run by a guy who went out of his way to steal 100s of classified national security documents and then got indicted for federal crimes over it 🤔
Crazy, huh???
#ImpeachAgentKrasnov
Although also seems dubious that someone in the Navy Reserve gets a TS clearance . Like that guy in the Masssachussetts air national guard a couple of years ago.
Pete was Navy intelligence, specialized on counter terrorism in the Middle East. In Afghanistan he was a liaison to the allied forces and he sent on diplomatic missions to Afghan allies.
This is no lie. I was once accused of losing a classified hard drive by an executive officer, just because I was the IT guy. But that went south for him, because I had receipts. A month later, the drive was found secure in the safe where he himself had placed it, and signed for its storage. Clown.
Buttigieg explains the reality!Are there other Democrats speaking up? How can you forget the Republican cry of “lock her up” for a minor email error, versus this gross misuse of an unsecured communication system that could endanger our country?
The breach must be investigated; all of them are guilty of ignorance of unsecured communications. Unfortunately DT’s Regime will not investigate his loyalist!
🚩DUI HIRE Hegseth of Fox & Friends Entertainment Television Host is extremely qualified for this high-intellect military position. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Working in an office where everyone else also had a "Top Secret" clearance, I could not leave my desk with any of classified material I was working on unsecured, even for a minute. This Regime does not even appear to give lip service to protecting classified information.
We act like we’re shocked at the incompetence & vulnerability, but the reality is the administration isn’t phased because they already know they’re sharing some of Americas most sensitive national security secrets with both Russia & China, so who cares…
Let’s just say … it’s pretty hard to screw up this bad!
#PeteHegseth needs to be Fired immediately!!!
Incompetent morons can not be in charge of National Security!!!
He's such a good communicator. The democratic party couldn't do any better than betting on him as either party leader or next Presidential candidate imo.
Why is it that only the US is bombing the civilians of Yemen? I think we can agree that China is a manufacturing and shipping powerhouse yes? Why aren't' they having issues with Yemen? Their ships are getting through.
Don’t know for sure, but generally arms sales, intel support and cash support are public (or leaked) at some point. With all of the US support for Israel, I doubt Netanyahu wants to risk loosing that for a little Chinese infusion. But you never know 🤷♀️
I dont' believe for a minute China is supporting Israel in any way to fund and carry out their genocide. We do the US, UK, France, Canada and other vassal states of Israel are letting them carry out crimes against humanity
The other poster was wondering why we felt impelled to bomb Houthis in order to allow our ships to pass, but that Chinese shipped passed unscathed.
I do not believe China is supporting the Israelis covertly or otherwise either.
My question is why would they do so? Why did they not conduct this over official govt. communication channels? It hard not to notice that it is coincidental w/Starlink’s installation of Internet services at the WH, etc.
Yes, I didn't think of the "other" Pete ... When I think of Pete, I always think of Pete Buttigieg. He's quite an impressive man, IMHO. Thoughtful, intelligent, well spoken, empathetic ... He really would make a great president.
There is no longer a rule of law for these people. They could bludgeon a police officer to death on the grounds of the Capitol Building and get away with it
So illegal. Where’s the outrage? Pete’s a great start. Eunuch Pubs won’t stand up.
Dems…?Dems…?Dems…?
Anyone???
A whole lotta peep taking a Ferris Bueller day off
I can’t even copy from Teams and paste into WhatsApp, it’s not allowed because it breaks my company’s security protocols which should not be more stringent than the US military’s.
Probably your CEO can do what they like though. That's what you are dealing with here, a bunch of bosses who think the rules (like maintaining security) are just for the proles.
The only reasons you would do that are 1) you don't want a record of your actions, and 2) you want to include people who don't have security clearance. Everyone on that call needs to answer as to why they were using a disallowed method of communication and face the consequences.
Not least because I imagine you are supposed TO CHECK who is in the room before you start blabbing classified information. You shouldn't get a pass because you assumed everyone that was there had been cleared by someone.
Both of my intelligence officer brothers have said the same thing… This is absolutely unprecedented and if I didn’t recognize that this is a hostile coup, I would say it was unbelievable.
Why is a VP of the United States shit talking Europe on a group chat with other leaders??? Europe is a strong ally to the US. Are they using their power to hurt Europe??? What is his problem???
The myth that Europe would be helpless without the American defense umbrella. Let Macron comment about Vance and Hegseth and their idiocy. Their comments are insulting.
Oh, I get that. The French are pissed. We have been looking at European emigration for a number of months and the French have removed all long term options for American residency. They did not allow any path to citizenship last year, but residency was possible. Can’t blame them personally.
I don't blame them either. They want to keep out the likes of Trump's cultists to push their politics further right. Even most Democrats are seen as a threat to French democracy because they can be swayed by right wing talking points. Self preservation
Just imagine if Obama or Biden had texted secret level war plans to a reporter… republicans heads would explode and they would demand they be impeached.
Better still just imagine the reaction from MSM (especially @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social) if this happened in the previous administration. They would be running a wall to wall media blitz on it for weeks (probably months)
The President of the United States stored highly confidential information on the toilet, how can one expect anything other than such incidents ... surely only the tip of the iceberg.
This is actually assuming the Admin is using high level security for Any classified info. This potus had top secret stuff in his bathroom. It's all the same shit show.
The GOP voted yes on most of these people. And there was a lot of these folks that are the HEADS of their department. Yet someone made the concerted decision to skirt ALL of the firewalls to have this highly classified conversation in a group chat. Heads should be rolling.
The security screw up was big enough to overshadow it but what about the candid disdain for long standing allies. If there was any doubts and that it was just tactical rhetoric thats now been removed. The USA is allies to no one anymore.
My child is close to adult at 20, but she has known about the ignorance and narrow minded hatefulness of these people (we live among the reddest of the red) for at least 5 years. We tell
our children what we are doing, have done and are willing to do, to fight this regime.
Download 5 calls app to make it easy to call your reps. Use a script, mention your zip and that you are a voting constituent. Call often. Find out where there will be demonstrations I your area. Get a buddy and go! Introduce yourself and get yourself invited to participate in other areas.
Look for on line petitions supporting causes that matter to you (gun control, education, veterans causes, food insecurity, agriculture, housing issues, energy and environment). After you read and support a few of these, it will be easier to write or call with a little script.
Absolutely, the Constitution is being set aside to the benefit of this regime. Who represents you, Senate and House? Where do they stand? Is anyone running against them? Join Indivisible in your region. Write a short e-mail explaining what you do NOT support to each rep.
The fact is that Top Secret information - particularly war plans - are NEVER discussed outside of a SCIF.... unless the participants are part of the most incompetent, stupid, ignorant, corrupt, criminal and UN-AMERICAN administration in history.
Hey, just want to check in to see if AG Merrick Garland has gotten around to prosecuting these crimes? I’m sure the fuckfaced ‘legal experts’ who chastised, with extreme condescension, anyone who dared question the lack of urgency of proceedings, are doing well and can kindly go fuck themselves.
You do know they're using signal to avoid anything being retained. There will be nothing to subpoena in future it was one of the project 2025 teaching points . They were told to do as much as they could through this sort of tech to avoid prosecution in future.
No one has asked this, who invited or included Jeffery in this chain. ?????? good question no? I am someone has to include you even in this dangerously exposed site.
Not only did Hegseth put classified info on a non-USG system on an open device, but the level of detail (as Goldberg describes) makes clear he brought it into a SCIF expressly to do so (or brought TS/SCI paper out). Plus Waltz set up the unclass chat, even the topic of which was likely classified.
If you are in a secret classified environment you cannot even email to anybody. No data exchange because is a closed environment if you do so you get fired and jail time
Little men that never grew up. The bullies in the school’s backyard, who need to blabber about their plans to other men, in order to feel bigger and better than the idiot next to them. Like peacocks but stretching their feathers for other men. Dangerous to have men so immature leading our country.
Insist that MSM talk about this & ONLY this (kinda like “but Hillary’s emails…which was bogus & this is REAL) instead of normalizing/sanewashing trump/MAGA fucked up fascism 24/7/365. Talk about the utter FAILURE of the 4th Estate to contextualize anything MAGA is a main reason we got here.
Homan was asked if he used Signal. He didn’t answer, which was an answer. It’s likely an administration wide strategy so they could cover their tracks and avoid accountability.
The chat group, national security breach is not a Washington story. It is GLOBAL.
Right now, UK Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard is in Parliament being grilled by MPs on what military & security operational details are shared with the United States.
The chaos is a strategy. He is genuinely trying to seize power and he uses the medias sensationalism against them. He wants war, he wants riots, he wants outrage, so he can justify his means. He really is a villain. Imo.
White House official response to Signal-gate: “Hillary, hunter, Benghazi, Obama, immigrants, hunter, Hillary, Hillary, I’m treated so unfairly, immigrants, immigrants, we will use Snap Chat next time, everything we do is perfect” 👻
if you try, you are blocked! I tried to send a copy of my annual increase & bonus breakdown to my personal email last month & the email was delivered, but was blocked from opening the PDF! happy our cybersecurity is that good but I hate to print stuff out, especially when it’s my own information.
Translation: ‘Accidentally’ mishandling classified documents is about as believable as ‘accidentally’ emailing your entire search history to your boss.
Well they had their boss carrying the motherlode of natsec documents to Mar a Lago to be stashed in his bathroom and poolhouse and SCOTUS made two huge decisions to make sure he found his way back to the WH just so they can flout the law all over again just like the Fed Society, Heritage cabal want
God I hate this twerp talking like he was Rambo. He was an office guy in Kabul. The administration he served did little to get us out of our current predicament.
The problem isn't the Trump Administration is clumsy with secrets, it's that they are backing a genocide and ethnic cleansing. This kind of centrism always misses the issue.
There can be more than one “problem” and in this case there are too many to even keep a list without running out of paper. Don’t downplay the severity of this just because they are doing other “worse” stuff.
What does your last sentence mean? Explain it to me like I don't have a top secret clearance and don't know how to handle classified data. I'm interested to see how this gets spun.
Ordinarily one would think that moving this conversation to an unsecured device would be purposeful to be deceitful, but honestly in this case it’s equally possible that it was just stupid.
Stupidly deceitful?
Probably both.
Hegseth is weak. Lets be honest. Pete Hegseth is a drunk, a bafoon, and a rasict with impulse control and anger issues. But worst of all, he is all of these things. because he is weak. He's the sick elk that gets culled by wolves, not a wolf.
And, I cannot blame you. The damage done in the first 3 weeks of this horrid regime’s reign, will not be undone in 3 decades of decent government. Which the US may not get :(
i know this, hegsdesth sucks booze straight from the bottle. wont go outta his way diluting it

I worked in aerospace for 10+ years with much less sensitive info that we protected very very seriously. “I can’t tell you how much that was drilled into us” is such a true statement. I had hundreds of hours of training.
Can confirm and just weeping for my country right now.
Exactly and if they have been setting Signal to make conversations disappear (like this one) in 2 months, I am not sure how hard it is to retrieve them, if you can at all.

Go on Fox News and talk about this!
I have bad news for you, Pete.
McConnell in particular seems to not fully support the administration.
He is our National Security Advisor and he lies as much as his criminal Fuhrer Donald
The lies and dancing around the truth are despicable.

Yep, embarrassingly so.

Who knows.
Apparently our intelligence officers are totally unaware of anything of any intelligence whatsoever?

“Are you convinced that Signal is more secure than US Government secure communications systems?”
I think it would be fantastic if all this unclassified information were made public immediately in the future

Sounds like treasonous intention.
Move this from here, to there, he he he..
Is that what we tell our children?
our children what we are doing, have done and are willing to do, to fight this regime.
For everyone, realising the founding fathers assumed leaders and electorate to be of good character and sound minds, now seems flawed?
It appears your Constitution is undergoing destructive testing?
The internet seems to have spawned a host of unaccountable, irresponsible, disreputable wannabes, and their paymasters.
