With the Signal leak, a normal White House would admit error, promise to get to the bottom of it, fire some high profile people, and move on.

Of course, no one is going to resign.
No one is going to be fired.
Have we forgotten who and what we're dealing with here?
How naive, innocent or ignorant are we that we keep slipping into this "things are bad but still within the normal rules" mindset?
Full-on Streisand Effect.
They have to start again from scratch. But hard to imagine how to do with these people in key positions.
Trump et al are DESTROYING the World!

TREASONOUS

they don’t have a very deep bench, judging by the high profile people who would be fired in this situation. who would be willing to play second banana to Hegseth or Gabbard? They are either a Russian asset or dunderhead - possibly both.
