Clear implication from this hearing: Gabbard and Ratcliffe are throwing Hegseth under the bus. Putting it on him if operational details were out in the chat. #SignalGate

It was telling when they said he was the OCA for defense information. In other words, if he put it in an unclassified chat, that made it unclassified since he was the OCA.
Its a new take on Nixon's "If the President does it, it isn't illegal."
If Hegseth posts it, it's not classified.
Of course they are. They’re all complicit. Gabbard knows better than to have that kind of conversation on the Signal app. They should all be fired immediately or this country is fucked. I can’t believe we haven’t been attacked already! We have no Allie’s anymore, so what’s stopping another attack?
Which is accurate. If he’s dumping classified information on an upcoming military strike it is on him to clarify to whom he is sharing that information. And it should only ever be on a need to know basis, not a ‘look at me I am Sec Def aren’t I cool’ basis. Dangerous Incompetence.
It's on every single person who was in that chat. They ALL have been briefed on proper handling of classified information, and as such should ALL be prosecuted under the Espionage Act
Agree. The blatant evasiveness during the hearing by Gabbard and Ratcliffe was astounding; plain and simple gaslighting.
This also demonstrates that the cover up is always worse than the crime. With these 2 sycophants, that was painfully visible. #SignalGate
Anything prior to the journalist leaving is documented, and if they kept the same config he described... nothing should be deleted yet. He said it was 2 week auto delete i think, and it's only been 10 days.
Um, they were on the chat. Is it their argument that they didn’t see the logo and had no idea they were off secure comms? I don’t think they’ll bother with the lie. They all know they’re immunized. Thx SCOTUS❤️
But didn't they flat-out say there were no operational details in the chat? So, aren't they attesting to the details of the conversation? At 10:20 (Central) Gabbard just attested to that for a second time. I don't see this tossing Hegseth under the bus if they are lying for him.
Hegsdeath will be safe, tho. The rapist is pissed at Waltz for adding Goldberg to the chat, NOT about the breach. Gabbard will be safe too because she's Moscow's "girl," and Putin wants her there.

Being experienced by holding prior posts in the govt it’s understood to be an absolute No NO.. and the Vice Poodle.. what was he about?
The whole lot is corruptible and damaged..they all should step down

To avoid their conversations to end up being subpoenaed…
although the "I Do Not Recall" strategy is coming in a close second today.🙄
Everyone involved is responsible.
At least, according to the government mandated training i've been taking for over a decade.
So even if that part gets deleted, it doesn't matter.
I hadn't seen that it differed per message tho. That's irritating.
Who do they think they are kidding?

What are his legal consequences of doing so?

You can lead a Republican to good policy choices…
They are all equally culpable.
Ratcliffe seems to be in a bit of a panic trying to cover his own ass.
