And why did Elmo just install a Starlink network at the White House?

(The WH says -- and I'm not making this up -- they have a weak signal.)

PRA -
The term "Presidential records" means documentary materials, or any reasonably segregable portion thereof, created or received by the President, the President’s immediate staff, or a unit or individual of the Executive Office of the President whose function is to advise or assist the Presiden

i don't know the context and i don't need to — you really don't want to set the precedent that using encryption is a sign of guilt

mandoqueer.itch.io•36 days ago

it is for a government official who already has a designated channel to do this stuff in that's already secure and encrypted.
it's basically Hillary's emails except they actually were using the non-governmental channel to send classified info.

folderalconspiracy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah, Hillary's email server was at least controlled by Hillary. Signal is not.

(Also, Hillary's email had incidental mention of classified things, a thing that happens all the time over unsecure channels, not literally talking about actual current real-time war plans.)

mandoqueer.itch.io•36 days ago

basically the only reason you'd use Signal as a government official to discuss war plans is if you're a whistleblower or doing a criminal conspiracy or something you don't want official records of.
it's not "Using encryption is a sign of guilt" but "Using signal for this is, itself, the crime"

Also - Hillary Clinton consulted with the previous secretary of state, Colin Powell, who OK'd it. Maybe he should not have, but he did. She set the server up on good authority.

xanadian.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's not that they were using encryption, it's that Signal is shoddy and leaky compared to the actual secure communication methods they *should* have used. Govt officials doing top-secret planning is *supposed* to be secret (by law!) & it wasn't bc they think records rules are for the little people.

pinkoteddy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Do you really think that the people howling about Hillary’s emails understand the nuances of government secrets and recordkeeping, or do you think that this is an excellent example of “it’s fine because a white male I agree with did it.”

jojosbizarrelife.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yeah... this was my initial reaction to the story. I get it, they're a bunch of weird, anti-serious idiots. They're also extremely unhinged and dangerous.

dylanmichel.bsky.social•37 days ago

Just imagine all the other nefarious shit they are doing on that app or some other untraceable messaging app.

trance.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes, and that's terrifying.

dylanmichel.bsky.social•37 days ago

Utterly.

babblingfringe.bsky.social•37 days ago

Set to delete after one week? WHICH IS ALSO ILLEGAL!?

technicallyowen.bsky.social•37 days ago

When the richest men in the world will only communicate on signal you know they are doing some shady shady shit. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/26/24141801/ftc-amazon-antitrust-signal-ephemeral-messaging-evidence

You need to get the heels on and whip those bad boys Emma….

mccoydatiff.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's to evade FOIA and deny the people the right know what was done in their names.. as Americans, you are guilty in my eyes for letting this happen.. and I mean letting as it was obvious from outside that you weren't awake during voting.. strangely the nightmare won't stop.. 🫤🤨

pinkoteddy.bsky.social•37 days ago

I get it, but now seems like not the time to imply any signal chat is for criming when they are RICOing the very people using it to fight these clowns

poly007.bsky.social•36 days ago

And the answer is because project 2025 talks specifically about communicating about the takeover of America and ways that leave less of a trail.

charliemas.bsky.social•34 days ago

1. Why were they using Signal (was it to keep the whole conversation off the record)

2. Why such a detailed play-by-play report? Neither the Vice President nor anyone else on the chat needed that level of detail.

3. Why did none of them notice an unfamiliar member of the chat?

Stupid and lazy.

mariusloots.bsky.social•37 days ago

The dick pics are on Telegram.

But yes, I thought governments had special phones and shit.

ricyrick87.bsky.social•36 days ago

Disappearing chats. 🫠 We are barely into this administration y'all...

beelovevoteblue.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s infuriating me that @MSNBC is spending hours about the texts and fails to ask WHY Signal? What’s the real motivation and intent ?
Just ask
WHY Signal
WHAT do they have to gain from using Signal
WHO and WHAT are they protecting?
Epic fail @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

tazbertodevil.bsky.social•37 days ago

The biggest surprise here is it wasn't Telegram they were using. 🙄

realzealman.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you. Yes, this is not being talked about enough! This is common practice, and all of this information is property of the US gov’t and by extension, the people. Even if it remains classified for decades, the information needs to exist.
Also chance is 100% this is being used for criminality

moiety.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes it places our peoples lives at risk, it's compleyely outside any protocol, Witkoff was IN MOSCOW talking with putin and treason is punishable by firing squad. so no it's not a wee oopsie

bimbelon.bsky.social•37 days ago

Absolutely. Is there any doubt that this is SOP for the entire Administration?

isomeme.bsky.social•37 days ago

When I had a high security clearance, I would have been fired, frogmarched out of the building, and very likely prosecuted for a combination of intentional and incompetent security failure a tenth this bad. I feel stupid and angry for all the anxiety I ever felt about doing things just right.

Legit question, do you actually see this going anywhere? After Trump’s stolen classified documents it’s clear for the GOP Dear Leader comes before national security, and even if the Dems are united (big *if*) they can’t impeach. I don’t see any heads rolling from this, they’ll double down as always.

trance.bsky.social•37 days ago

one head might roll. but otherwise as you said

carecompasionlove.bsky.social•37 days ago

The shame of it all is that nobody is getting fired from this.

They all just hope something big will blow over to make everyone forget, but the reality is that this was a BIG deal.

We haven’t even read what was texted about the intricate details of the plan & I’m sure that’s very incriminating.

pjbrissy.bsky.social•37 days ago

I laughed/screamed into the void reading CNNs rundown. Basically “normally people get jail time for this”
