Since the DNI and the CIA Director have both testified that there was no classified information in the @theatlantic.com’s “Houti PC Small Group” thread, there is no reason for the magazine not to release the entire thing. I call upon it to do so.

The Republican Party and Trump had to lie full time to American citizens to win. They lied all through the Trump campaign. They lie in every interview. They are not in an honest relationship with American citizens. This is not a valid "win". Their power is based on defrauding American citizens.
That is equal to cheering Woodward for holding critical info for publication. Goldberg didn't and wouldn't do that. He and The Atlantic are not about to betray our CIA agents and nat'l security that way. Trump's minions would. Goldberg and The Atlantic will NOT. He did the right thing.
They lied they should release all but agents name! To prove it was Top secret!
They called him a liar!
The times have changed! If he does not? They will come for him and the Atlantic!
Goldberg needs to give the full content to a solicitor at a foreign, independent body (like the ICC). Then when the content is deleted from Signal, there'll still be a record and Trump will have no power to retrieve it.
In the “Houthi Signal chat” Pete Hegseth shared precise details of military operations against Yemen’s Houthi forces with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. Signal offers robust end-to-end encryption, but it is not a secure government platform and lacks protections required for classified communications.
Rather than release the info, have him give the info to the congressional committees directly responsible and let them determine the status of the information.
You can’t be serious! No way should Goldberg stick his neck out that far. The Democratic Senators on the Senate Intelligence and Defense Committees can get the info without sacrificing a reporter.
You're in a conversation with 17 others. Hegseth says we will be BOMING! and you can't recall if he told you locations and times. Maybe the CIA director and the National Security director jobs are over your heads? Or you are lying. You've got to pick one🤥 Goldberg remembers.
I’m confused. Cruella de Gabbard wouldn’t confirm she was on the chat so how does she know? That transcript is long gone…like disappearing an immigrant. Not sure how much Goldberg has. He needs secret service protection!
That isn't how CUI works. The DNI and CIA Director don't get to just decide information isn't classified after the fact. It is known that there's an active field agent in that chat. Their life would likely be forfeit if their name became public.
I hope he releases the entire chat and the war plans since they aren't classified. But we all know MSM won't ever publish any of it, since it makes Trump look like a fool.
I agree with the sentiment but disagree with the action of following through. We are in a bad enough world spotlight. This is just fucking embarrassing. And kudos to Goldberg for having more ethics and patriotism than our drunk, arrogant, incompetent SoD.

“We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content.” Just might be the “have you no decency” moment for the democrats. #hegseth #ratliffe #gabbard
That isn't how information gets declassified. The fact remains that the information was defense related. And that puts anyone who publishes it in jeopardy of being indicted on related crimes.
Note that FBI Director Patel, an actual lawyer & former IC & DoD official, passed on giving an answer. He knows there is a whole lot of crimin going on
That's only because they forgot to classify it (another error). They can classify it any time. It's National Security info. either way, illegal to send. The safer route is to provide it sealed to a Senator with NatSec clearance who can then read it into a Senate hearing record. <-- Sen. Mike Gravel
Wait a sec…May explain why on March 14th Ms Gabbard put out the random 🤔 tweet about *treating the release of classified information as a crime*…I’m going to hazard a guess that Ms DNI ‘discovered’ that breach (with Goldberg) had occurred so she issued that forewarning‼️ what else prompted her???
We are so divorced from this government being on our side here that we don't actually want a "capable" SecDef. Wouldn't we like some advance intelligence on their Greenland/Canada invasions and martial law declarations? Btw, they are very competently snatching people off the streets as I type.
Remember Clinton was attacked for emails that were deliberately vague because the writers of the emails knew they were on an unclassified system and did not include any operational details
“Folks are saying” These Trump Toadies are communicating outside of approved Secure Facilities to make sure there’s no Record of their activities/comments.
Their appear to be operating precisely as you would expect an Organised Crime Syndicate to operate.
“Leave no trace of your actions”
I think I was a setup. They were trying/hoping that editor would release the information before the military action so that they could further intimidate the press. But slow thinkers never realize how stupid they are. That or the whole Trump apparatus is criminally stupid and wholly unqualified.
People are 5D chessing but there are infinite ways to punk journos without committing myriad crimes with respect to handling classified info, records retention etc and also demonstrate hatred of an entire continent with no upside
Oh, no. I've thought all along that the "not classified" claim was an attempt to provoke Goldberg into releasing it, and then saying "ha ha, fooled you, it's classified, go to jail."
Yes, but Jeffrey Goldberg can hold onto that as a possible insurance policy against Trump’s retribution… Just thinking that Trump is such a child and is focused on all the wrong things that I might be thinking that way… I understand it’s a little selfish, but Trump’s a dangerous guy
Senator Warner said "Let's see the text then if it's not classified". Hopefully in the closed session, they'll compel the liars to produce the text or call Jeffery Goldberg in and have him share the text..
and when some innocent person is harmed or killed because of it, the govt principals will then claim, wide-eyed, they had no idea it would happen, oopsie, thoughts/prayers lol
Or at least add representatives from the Houthis and Europe to the thread so they can use some emojis
We are governed by clowns, incompetents and broken human beings.
Here's whatcha do...
Start releasing screenshots... right after the add of the reporter... just a couple at a time... To let Pentagon know that he's absolutely going to do this.
They'll issue a statement retracting that there was nothing classified in 2 minutes. And that way he doesn't have to.
I actually want someone to try to FOIA that text chain first. Since the article made it sound like Signal was set to auto-delete, they likely don't have the information on device anymore. If what they construct in response doesn't fully match the initial chat, The Atlantic could easily expose that.
Radcliffe and Gabbard just said that they could not say whether the information was classified or not? They’re saying Hegseth may have already declassified which, of course, is a lie.🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The next question should be 'if Pete texts you strike plans, do you consider yourself free to share that information with anyone in the world without restriction until the point that Pete tells you the info is officially "classified?"'
You know they're lying. And a covert agent's cover could be blown. They screwed up and need to be called to account, but we don't want to compound their lies, misdirection and possibly lying under oath to Congress.
He shouldn’t violate security that’s meant to protect our warfighters because those incompetent criminals posing as government officials did! He should however turn the information over to the appropriate Members of The Congress - both Chambers of Congress.
but isn't it just because they hadn't classified the information? They didn't say that it should't have been classified, they just said that it wasn't.
I’m not sure how that would not be reckless, since we know that what was discussed should be (read: is) classified? There needs to be an investigation and terminations.
Only if you set them to. And they may not delete in they way you expect. If they wipe or delete them now you can tell the difference. Make them show that they don't care about these things. Every little thing counts.
I agree that he should absolutely share them with the Gang of Eight, DoD IG, and intelligence IGs to inform the proper oversight officials of what was shared in the messages. I don’t agree with publicly revealing them due to the real risk to American troops and intelligence assets.
Goldberg is NOT going to do that because, of course, they'd arrest him for it. He turned it over to Dems on Intel. Proper course of action. Goldberg is not about to make himself the story.
The Atlantic has no integrity. They way they go back and forth over basic human rights is a joke.
They won't release the information because that would be the thing that requires integrity. Never calling these guys on their bluff makes them just another chump like Senate Dems.
I hear you. Atlantic's lawyers likely recommended what to release and what to keep back. Also, the name of an active undercover operative was disclosed in the signal messages. Atlantic could redact, but if they do, what's the point of releasing the remaining info?
That would be a gutsy move. I assume Mr. Goldberg is in secure privileged communication with an attorney and keeping his backside well covered. I for one will let him make his own informed decisions.
Jeffery Goldberg today on Bulwark podcast is concerned about National Security issues but stated he would release the entire text if nothing is done or admitted to correct their mistakes !

Fire away Mr. Goldberg, you've just been authorized to release the entire damning text thread
“We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content.” Just might be the “have you no decency” moment for the democrats. #hegseth #ratliffe #gabbard
The snide & derogatory remarks about US allies needs to he seen by everyone!
Neat.

Nail these liars!

Do your job Congress. Stop waiting on everybody else to make it safe or easy.
The Atlantic Monthly CAN publish the entire Text transcripts
Goldberg should have a bunch of former four-stars review it and go on the record with their thoughts
Don’t give them one inch of space confronting their lies.

Republican leaders seem to all be lying fascist hypocritical traitors. Disgraceful&scary! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tulsi-gabbard-russian-connection-dni-trump-syria-b2692244.html
And possibly illegal.
If it isn’t, it damn well should be.
“18 US. Code 793, gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information.”
We don’t even need Attorney General Eva Braun to do her job, there’s a 10 year statute of limitations!
Probably doesn’t matter if published at this point since Russia and China likely also have the chat transcript.
Also, Valerie Plame leak.
They won't release the information because that would be the thing that requires integrity. Never calling these guys on their bluff makes them just another chump like Senate Dems.

It's getting serious out here.
Given how trump, hegseth, and co have attacked both Goldberg and the Atlantic, I'd publish AND sue for defamation.
Wouldn’t want that on my conscience.
