The biggest scandal is how it shows they’re doing this a lot, exposing NatSec secrets, breaking record keeping laws, and we have no idea what or how much. - ThreadSky

I’m hammering this episode as much as anyone. But PC refers to a Principals Committee meeting.

It does not, by itself, imply the existence of more unclass chat groups.

Of course, if people are running DCs and PCs over Signal, that’s a whole new ballgame (highly doubt it, tbh).

I really wish people would say this louder and more often. This is all very bad, but their intention is clearly to avoid any kind of accountability or oversight.

I get why they're ok with the FSB reading their war plans, a little confused why they're OK with Mossad reading their war plans since beating the IDF was one of their timing criteria, but totally dumbfounded why they let the CCP read their war plans.

Agree 💯

Not a legal expert or anything... if conducting this thing on an insecure back-channel is not illegal, it should be... specially one that the DoD just issued a warning on how insecure / vulnerable it is...

And check out what the penalties of disclosing classified info is. Mr. DUI must be texting Dear Leader, saying "Sir! You need to declassify the Houthi op, I beg you!!!"
