Witkoff joining in from Moscow using a commercial app is practically giving #Putler direct insights into US-attack planning, personnel, assets and packages. #stopTheMadness and #saveTheUS from the #lunaticInChief and his incompetent gang.
If these senior members of the government have testified under oath that there was no classified information, the journalist should be free to publish the part of the chat that he assumed would be too sensitive to reveal.
Wouldn’t these officials be in contempt once the highly sensitive information Goldberg left out of his article is revealed behind closed door hearings to those with the proper clearance?
The danger in that is potentially revealing sources and/or putting troops at risk. The journalist made the right call in not printing the info. But he can provide it directly to Congress, I'd think.
And if they don't want the journalist publicizing all the texts because it's 'classified', then they're lying when they said that none of this stuff in the text was classified. It either is or it isn't.
But it can't be shared, but they might not have been on the thread at all, but even if they were, the problem was that a journalist was on there, not that they were on their personal phones on an unsecured app. The "but her emails" and "intelligence leaks lead to firings" crowd are sure quiet.
You know that, and I know that. I'm not disagreeing. Merely pointing out the untenable position they have put themselves in. If it's classified, they all should be in deep doo doo. If it's not classified, as they have all said, then no harm in publishing. 👇
She wouldn't admit to being on the chat, yet knew what was in it, yet can't talk about it because it is being looked at, but it wasn't classified. She also claimed she didn't know DoD policy. The Pentagon had just said don't use Signal, it was not a sanctioned app, these people make us less safe!
“An extraordinary breach of U.S. security is stunning security and intelligence veterans, after a journalist was added to a Trump administration group chat on Signal, where senior leaders discussed plans for a military strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen…”
These idiots think they can lie to people that actually can reason through things ….. just because this tactic works with their base doesn’t mean it will work with critical thinkers.
Oh yes they can!
"Character matters" when it came to Clinton, but "he's chosen of God!" when it came to Trump.
"Deficits matter!" when we are out of power, but "no they don't!" when we are in power.
I could go on.
Those leaks have the potential to affect the security of all Americans. Was someone in setting up that call half in the bag! America deserves an answer to that question.
Just arrest them now. They screwed up royally and are sitting here in front of a congressionsl panel lying their asses off. They should have been arrested yesterday.
By whom?
The only arresting authority is DOJ. An organization wholly controlled by Putin.
I mean, Trump.
I mean, Musk.
I mean, ...
Uhhhhhh,
Do we even know?
How DO they keep track of all of these lies?!?
Is it a Musk software program, set up for sheer volume? Does AI churn them out for them?
It’s a torrent of lawless gaslighting…😡
Don’t care because they know the felon is not going to do nothing to them! They know they’re safe they act nonchalant. They don’t give a fuck because they’re fine. Nothings going to happen to any of them.
It's very hot in China now. Could this prompt them to take action that effects our national security? Did DNI watch project 2025 training film to eliminate all references to climate from all government reports
Warner you are a pussy...You need to meet them at their level and call them liars and incompetent morons straight to their faces...I mean look at Gabbard, she's laughing in your face, couldn't even be bothered...c'mon grow a spine!
Wasn't it also the hypocrites of this MAGA clan who wanted to lock up Hillary Clinton because she used a private email account? OK, in that case, everyone very loudly: "Look them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!..." 📣
Trump like using his pardon pen to give criminals a free ride. And not only will NSA reissue a bulletin I would bet Pete will declassify the information with a predated letter.
This clown show of an administration will be the first in history needing to issue pardons for their top level cabinet officials within the first 100 days and every 100 days thereafter, because of the sheer audacity and level of their corruption, criminality, and inept idiocy.
When a judge ruled that FOX has no legal obligation to report the truth, that's all you need to know about FOX and its media ilk.
Your oppression is their profession.
That's exactly why he hasn't though, because he's not a traitor and he knows the truth of what happened. And also because he knows the brownshirts will come for him if he does.
You HYPOCRITES!! It was definitely classified information.
STOP GASLIGHTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We can see what you’re doing. We are smart and know exactly what is happening. Start owning up to your messes and get rid of the Republican that is not up to their responsibilities of protecting USA.
(Goldberg will not be embarrASSingly irresponsible or incompetent as this vile ignorant group!)
This ignorant b++ch knows it was wrong! She needs to be reminded she did this!
Such lying sacks of shit! Gabbard looked like a deer in the headlights and Radcliffe is just a smarmy, self serving, lying piece of garbage! How is anybody in the world supposed to trust these people, and by extension, the US.
Now that Gabbard and Ratcliffe have denied to Congress that any of the info shared on the Signal chat was classified, can Goldberg release the info he received to prove them liars? Or would Goldberg open himself to criminal charges?
Maybe the case of the Pentagon Papers is a good comparison here. Daniel Ellsberg, who took the documents and showed them to reporter Neil Sheehan, was charged under the Espionage Act. Sheehan, who copied the documents, which were published in the NY Times, was not.
Donny says he wasn’t there (golfing?) so didn’t know about it. Ratcliff says the Atlantic magazine has been against trump. Gabbard claims the type of phone she used is under audit. “It was a mistake,” said republicans.
He was hot today. Also, How is it that you don't remember what was said on the Signal Chat, yet none provided a copy of the transcript. Was that a Republican decision? A lot of time was wasted with "I don't know" & "I can't recall". I thought I was back at an impeachment hearing for a few minutes!
Expose this and don’t let up. We deserve due diligence. Our military deserves the dirty details and assurances that it won’t happen again. There HAS to be consequences. People must be fired. Do not let them sidestep this. History will show these times and how we reacted. Get tough. Do not cave.
Democrats should have one message and NEVER stop harping on it. Hold pressers at least twice a day. Send all the best at media to do interviews relentlessly. Please call your members of Congress, write letters to the press demanding action. We can’t let this go.
At a certain point, Gabbard and Ratcliffe appeared to shift to throwing Hegseth under the bus regarding the status of what was discussed on the chat. 🙂
The only answer that has it both ways is "It wasn't classified, but legally it should have been." He basically admitted that out loud, because there are no consequences.
Hire a Fox News weekend host and you get Fox News weekend host performance. Secretary of Defense is not a place for cartoony alpha males to learn a new skill.
Just a thought... MAGA is adamant that MERIT be the measure by which a person is qualified for their role. With this collosal, disgraceful, embarrassment, and traitoress act, do those on this chat line MERIT the need to continue their jobs? Does this MERIT the idea that they could keep America SAFE!
Well, we haven't prioritized (and in fact demonized) good education for the masses, our voter turn out is abysmal and we haven't fought The Citizens' United ruling in worthwhile ways. We've been too busy with Kardashia and Sportball and yeah, social media. We've lackadaised ourselves into shit.
Another #Russian operative...almost 100% of #Republicans voted for this woman and all of 🍊s nominees which is why #America has to ##VoteBlue to get them out of the #Senate and #Congress
Now I'm wondering how capitalism can make the firing squad even less humane the way it has prisons and lethan injection 🤔
Like watching the squad try to unjam their rifles while you slowly bleed from your stomach from the one that did hit.
After listening to all these republicans on this Hegseth security breach, these top security officials will continue to use SIGNAL discussing classified material. IRAN , RUSSIA, and CHINA are definitely listening.
These stupid ass Republican idiots are going to get us all killed.
That is literally the point. They can't just start killing us in the streets. Not right away, at least. They want a population of starving, stupid, slaves and soldiers. So what if we can't buy their shit. The world will, after some rebranding or outright extortion. It is a feature not a bug.
It's clear Trump has directed them to deny and deflect onto issues they're 'winning' on..
Talk about the border, fentanyl and illegal immigrants... all the puppets are currently on Fox and CNN parrotting the same spiel when asked to speak on the national security breach
Of course it is.
Other questions: How many times have you met this way? Who in the cabinet communicates this way? On which phones? Where were you when texting? Where are they stored? How was Hegseth’s data uploaded? They WANT to talk about if it’s classified. So talk about anything but that. DRILL
What were the good people of Hawaii thinking to have ever elected someone like Gabbard to the US Senate? We all need to demand that Russian influence is removed from our government.
I think she enlisted in the army specifically to build a resume for politics. She fooled the people of Hawaii when she ran for congress but they figured it out before the rest of us did. The bigger question is why did the Army reserve keep her when it became clear what she was?
Gabbard is the DNI and appointed by the president. Prior to that she was in office January 3, 2013 – January 3, 2021 as a congressional representive for Hawaii's 2nd District.
I stand corrected. A former congresswoman, not a senator. But still a Russian asset in the Krasnov administration. Working to betray America every day.
People are writing that Tulsi was nervous during the hearing. But I see her contempt, her knowledge that she has never been held accountable and belief she never will be. Her response to the bombing ("LOL") pretty much sums up her debased and subhuman unserious character. She's a traitor.
This type of sensitive information is protected for good reasons. The military has to trust that our security isn't compromised. It can cost missions and lives. For the GOP to say it's no big deal tells me they are either incompetent or don't care. Someone needs to ask them which one it is.
The are having it both ways because they know it is impossible to hold them accountable if they hold steadfast to opposing and shifting excuses. How do you attack that in court?
If these people can’t recall what they talked about in a war plan meeting they had just a couple days ago, then they are not the right people to be planning wars.
They act like people who know that so long as they don't say anything Trump will keep them. They don't care about the people, or what is proper.....its all about keeping on with Trump.
German media called them "teenager party" for a reason.
Disgruntled teenagers playing at being adults and really really important and messing that up as their room.
So. Bidens fault, but they got security in place, there was no classified information provided, but cannot provide any info on it (because none of it was saved of course, that is the reason they're using it)

maybe this summer he will wear some shades!
Reminds me of Katie Porter.
Be fun to see what the threat of that will do to the republicans who keep claiming it wasn't classified.
A third grader could answer that question.
Imagine if our Republicans weren’t fu-KKK-ing traitors!!!
IMPEACH TRUMP!!
It’s time to remove him and these idiots.
"Character matters" when it came to Clinton, but "he's chosen of God!" when it came to Trump.
"Deficits matter!" when we are out of power, but "no they don't!" when we are in power.
I could go on.
Disgusting.
MAGAs are incredibly stupid to support pathological liars.
The only arresting authority is DOJ. An organization wholly controlled by Putin.
I mean, Trump.
I mean, Musk.
I mean, ...
Uhhhhhh,
Do we even know?
Is it a Musk software program, set up for sheer volume? Does AI churn them out for them?
It’s a torrent of lawless gaslighting…😡
“It was part of full transparency and cleaning up the swamp.
PS: But her emails…”
It's a mass manipulation tactic.
'false equivalency' is what made Trump president.
Lie, lie, lie

The distraction is not seeing battles through.
Keep up the fight on every front.
Give NO ground.
Their competence is limited. And their plans are not particularly adaptable.
Expect more circus.
"Inadvertently" disclosing Classified Information on a non-government platform IS NOT necessarily a Crime.
One Guess as to what This Administration WILL claim?
And If This Works...
Your oppression is their profession.
STOP GASLIGHTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We can see what you’re doing. We are smart and know exactly what is happening. Start owning up to your messes and get rid of the Republican that is not up to their responsibilities of protecting USA.
I assume that is a 'yes'.
😄👍
This ignorant b++ch knows it was wrong! She needs to be reminded she did this!
I got it right. I get a cookie.
The Atlantic then has a go to print it all?
She needs to be reminded she did this!
Our intelligence leaders' intelligence officials integrity is now completely questionable.

WTF
Talk about the border, fentanyl and illegal immigrants... all the puppets are currently on Fox and CNN parrotting the same spiel when asked to speak on the national security breach
On social media is beyond me.

This administration is a joke

Actually sounds like a good fit for trumps cabinet
It's a bit sassy about who it communciates with
It's happening again and again; when will we stop this regime???

But they just care about staying in power.
Disgruntled teenagers playing at being adults and really really important and messing that up as their room.
Under Biden the economy is everything, under Trump 'it doesn't matter'
With Clinton it's 'her emails' under Trump it's a mere nothing
