Peak MAGA would be insisting that there was no classified information on the chat and then, when Goldberg publishes the chat, prosecuting him for releasing classified information.

All without blinking.

Reposted from Kevin M. Kruse

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

If they insisted, and Goldberg published, I wouldn't bet a single goddamn cent that they won't prosecute him.

The supporters of the wannabe king and his nazi minions like *anything* that makes "the libs" mad--including watching "the libs" struggle to convince people that the lies and hypocrisy matter.

They more "the libs" react to something, no matter how terrible, the happier they are.

And he should

This is exactly what Orwell warned us about.

Now, under oath, some cabinet secretaries directly involved testified that nothing in that chat was classified. The Atlantic can now publish it without fear of losing in court. It is not incumbent on them to override the classification the principals have assigned.

texassnow.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Yep, this exactly. We are through the MAGA looking glass, up is down, left is right, info can be declassified/reclassified just by thinking.
It will be an actual miracle if we aren't at war by the end of Orange Genius's term.

Needs to give it to a D senator on the intelligence committee as a response to a request.

momofmaddog.bsky.social•21 hours ago

This seems completely logical. Would like to know where the flaw in this logic is, if it exists, and if there is no flaw, why this hasn't already happened.

dougfirtree.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Maybe it already has. Buckets of perjury in progress.

momofmaddog.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It would be great if Sen Kelly has already read the full chat transcript. He’s asking questions like he has.

momofmaddog.bsky.social•21 hours ago

So much perjury…

mcmahoney99.bsky.social•21 hours ago

A thought: Maybe he should voluntarily share it with senators in a closed-door session and let them release it. He's not planning to publish the details in his magazine anyway. We already know he got it first. Emails get out. Goldberg gets the scoop. Nobody goes to prison for treason. Win-win-win.

...with trump holding a wrap-up press conference afterward to declare the whole episode played out according to his original plan, a plan he executed to flush out the enemy within

sally-511.bsky.social•21 hours ago

EXACTLY!

john-canady.bsky.social•20 hours ago

1. He did nothing illegal to obtain the information.
2.The operation (bombing a bunch of people living in stone age conditions) is finished.
3. Publish it.

elliottlusztig.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Just give it to Congress

mbandman.bsky.social•20 hours ago

The public needs to see the information the administration has testified before Congress is non-classified. Congress under GOP leadership will bury everything.

time2move.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Sounds about right

bayla5280.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I think that's the only reason Goldberg was wise to keep from publishing the chat.

terryezell.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Oh no, Trump is playing chess again.

vonotar.bsky.social•7 hours ago

This is EXACTLY what I think is going to happen.

julieblattberg.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Step one, complete: T. Gabbard just said to Angus King that there was no classified info.

mariampa.bsky.social•21 hours ago

💯!!!! The Judicial branch is at the service of the tyrant

dachte.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Wondering if this would be a revival of the "restricted" classification which (apparently) hasn't been used in the US for awhile.

latrellburwell.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Billion percent

elliottlusztig.bsky.social•21 hours ago

And then be like GOTCHA!

harrybjackson.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Hard to imagine this won't happen, except that Goldberg won't publish, which is another sort of peak MAGA: not abiding by any rules or conventions while they use the full force of govt to control the rest of us, when not by our own restraining sense of propriety, by implicit or explicit threat.

frankwalker.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Sounds like normal everyday ordinary MAGA to me.

miksho.bsky.social•21 hours ago

This is totally going to happen

johneola2.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It’s both classified information and not at the same time. It’s Schroedinger’s Classification.

blocksincoming.bsky.social•20 hours ago

The virus is fake but the hoax is real

viktorshtrum.bsky.social•21 hours ago

This is probably what will happen

hawkalij77.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Goldberg should share the whole thread with all members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, both Ds and Rs

stealthisbook.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Prosecution implies some sort of due process and court involvement. Not entirely sure anymore that's how that would play out

squimbolio.bsky.social•20 hours ago

You can count on it.

jeepgrl1964.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Do it

katanubis.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It's why Goldberg thought it was a trap in the first place. But it did expose that they are using unauthorized methods (probably to avoid having records that are archived by law.) "But her emails!!!!"

ATTACK PLANS BY THEIR VERY NATURE ARE CLASSIFIED!

pwnedlib.bsky.social•21 hours ago

He should still do it

kyramisu.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I kind of assumed that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Even that they may have added him o purpose to create this distraction while other worse shit gets pushed through
