Why does everyone in that administration have such punchable faces? All of them.

We are dealing with the lowest and worst form of people in our highest offices. They have zero integrity and why should they, their leader is a sexual predator and 34x convicted felon.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

“How little they actually saved”. Isn’t that the whole point of them using Signal? No records

Nixon looks like a saint next to these people…

Trump Crime Syndicate!

Were you really expecting them to abide by the law?

ebarnescalgary.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, that was on purpose … why were they on Signal in the first place?

Ask and you shall receive...
Why were exactly 19 people added to that ill-fated March 11th #SignalGate chat? Why were they so anxious to stop talking about it? Alas, certain lies have a nasty habit of returning to haunt you, at the worst possible time…

FOIA. Fascists don’t like it.

ebarnescalgary.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh, agree. They will ignore as well though.

It’s in Wired’s first paragraph:
“…to evade transparency laws through the illegal destruction of government records.”

ebarnescalgary.bsky.social•3 days ago

Correct!

Most agencies have policies permitting the use of Signal in extreme circumstances however most also clearly state that the messages must be sent or captured in appropriate record keeping systems.

ebarnescalgary.bsky.social•2 days ago

TY for the info. Not sure if Signal use is allowed for these types of comms though. Don’t we give cabinet members a more secure method to communicate?

This should surprise precisely no one.

They are all criminals after all.

handelsaurus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Every potential criminality with regards to this administration deserves the presumption of guilt

Shocker.

Where oh where are those messages?

tooskiduck.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gee, what a surprise. This administration is doing the same thing they did in Trump 1.0: either fail to use devices that will keep a proper record for the National Archives. or destroy records that should have gone to the National Archives. Mobster behavior--let there be no evidence to convict us~

While amerikkka is worried about the use of signal, they ignore the war crimes behind those attacks. If you ask me, it's a success of Trump's administration to keep the focus on the wrong thing.
