Need less focus on how the Signal group was stupid/reckless/funny/absurd/dangerous and more on how such mishandling of classified information is a CRIME

There are no crimes committed by Republicans now that they control everything. A crime is only a crime if there's someone willing to presecute. No one will be prosecuted here, Republicans are completely lawless.
The things we will need to do to stop this administration will also be crimes. Fascists have full control of the government. You cannot fix this without militant and illegal action.
The message really should be "there is blatant evidence that not only were all these people directly breaking the law, they also were all complicit in each of the others making the law: they're just pissed they got caught and that the whistleblower did everything right"
I wouldn’t expect anything less from a real journalist who knows what information to keep back and for keeping a clear head to get more confirmation before running to twitter and spreading the word, which could have been false.
Very thankful he didn’t hold this information to write a book.
I don’t see that going anywhere. Aside from our system being incapable of holding powerful people accountable, most of the people in that chat are original classification authorities.
Not a lawyer, so this is an honest (and admittedly academic) question. Would 18 U.S.C. § 793(f) and 18 U.S.C. § 793(g) not apply, regardless of classification?
In most cases, an OCA can choose not to classify and can declassify whatever he or she classified.
I’m not suggesting anything. I’m highlighting that the scope of their authority is likely broad enough to accommodate whatever alibi is most convenient.
Then the press and members of Congress need to get them on record to clear this whole thing up. Get Hegseth to say, "Uh, I actually declassified all that," or "actually, those war plans were always public information."
Senate Intel Committee Hearing tried to get #Gabbard & #Ratcliffe to say whether the Signal call that included Goldberg was classified or not. Interesting response from Gabbard on whether she used her personal phone or a government phone (in a foreign country): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQuIRMxm6qI
Yes, speaking of crimes, when does Donald go to prison for his mishandling of classified material: Oh snap, he got away with it too? Don’t hold your breath.
Who was needlessly endangered due to this criminality? Why are these criminals still in their positions? Have their security clearances been revoked for cause? If not, WHY NOT?

Sorry you didn’t raise this with Senator Warner but this is one. How many other insecure and illegal communications on devices that have not been secured are occurring?
nope, more focus on their fuckup is good.
I don't think there will be any consequences, the GOP has abdicated responsibility for the stewardship of this country to these fools.
Jemand oder viele ,sollten Anklage gegen Trumps Muppetsshow erheben….
Trump ist ein erratischer Präsident, der die USA ins verderben stürzen wird. Und viele, der US amerikanischen Bürger haben ihn gewählt.
Für uns Europäer ist das unverständlich. Trump ist ein Maligner Narzisst.

No Crime Without Law. It's very clear our legal system went from a double standard to doesn't exist now.
