One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

I wish I had saved a screenshot, but..
I saw someone on Facebook make this same basic comment(using the term "principals" the same context) and I kid you not, a MAGA in the replies demanded to know what this had to do with running a school and why people were lying about school involvement.
🤦
What is MISSING - to begin with - is the US Military Assessment that Houthis in Yemen posed a national security risk requiring the Killing of rebels at Suez Canal.
The WH Incompetent Terrorist THUGS rained a jumped at killing without PROPER NATSEC PROCESS.
Who is the unidentified 'Other'?
There is a serious probability that information about the attack is on his (or The Atlantic’s) computer/server. And the Chinese and Russians have already hacked into one or the other.
Agreed, and lucky for us! He was able to put his national security expertise to use, making sure to inform the public while at the same time protecting the information he knew shouldn't be shared in The Atlantic story. Mr. Goldberg is a class act.
And possibly used against him. Jeff is accused of hacking into the chat like all those mainstream media folks do. Shammy Pammy then prosecutes, creating the deflection away from what actually happened and Hegseth gets a medal. The whole affair is then spun as engineered by rogue democrats.
Write your Senators & Rep:
Trump officials discussed upcoming military operations on the unclassified Signal app & didn’t realize they included a journalist who does not have a security clearance. A congressional investigation is needed, & any officials who broke the law should be held accountable.
True. But also going unreported is that the reason they had his contact and why he refuses to release the rest of the texts is because Goldberg is a Zionist pig who loves the indiscriminate carpet bombing of Muslim babies.
While the sociopathic felon and his gang of juvenile fools go about slandering Mr. Goldberg to cover up their gross incompetence, it's important to remember that he's one of the most respected, clear thinking, credible, experienced journalists in the country.
Shouldn’t we also be concerned that this group made a decision to bomb another nation and the commander-in-chief wasn’t in on the decision? Where was trump?
So does the average citizen who's watched any thriller that has a scene regarding national security, these secs wanted to be off the record, unaccountable, and puff up their self importance that they got to play in the sandbox at all. Wyckoff was in Moscow ffs!
Absolutely, they are trying to make him out to be a liar that's pretty hilarious considering who made the accusations, let's see I think it was Larry, Moe, and Curly along with the Little Rascals!!
Musings from yesterday when story broke: wow. Hope he kept transcripts & screen grabs. Hope he has personal security. Hope he made copies & sent them to someone. Somewhere.
Hope this means Hegseth can go back to Fox now. He’s risen far beyond his capabilities.
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
He really needs to approach a senate dem on the intelligence committee as a whistle blower before Trump orders the FBI to raid his house and office to seize the phone he used.
I think that is the best way to go. Some people are encouraging him publish everything, which I feel could cause problems for him. Whatever he does, I hope he uses caution and stays safe.
Not being American I have struggled with this all day because I’ve never heard of Jeff Goldberg and kept thinking all these posts said Jeff Goldblum and thinking oh man, he’s not a fascist now as well is he?
Also: the app is not allowed on official US phones, hence they must have been using private phones. (Or they circumvented the security/ IT people). In order to copy any classified info in the Signal app it must have been already on the private phone, outside the secure official ‘bubble’.
Discuss…
Yes! He also knows where all the lines are that you mustn't cross, for the greater good. The people Trump hires do what he says. They haven't bothered to read the manuals, because it doesn't matter. God forbid they should do the job by the rules! Greed & power motivate them, not the greater good.
Jeff Goldberg did the right thing...he knew the danger to our National Security and he wanted to protect Americans.We must continue to speak out...they need to resign, or be fired, and prosecuted for endangering us...who knows what else they've done! Sick to my stomach!

Ask the ones who failed 2 vote in November. We didn't even match our 38% effort in 2020. Same ole theme since 2016. 62%+ of Registered Democrats stayed out. Texas it was 2% lower than in 2020.."The World will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything"
This administration’s attempt to discredit Goldberg and the Atlantic is ridiculous. But that’s their answer to everything. Anyone who challenges their stupidity is incompetent or a “sleazebag.” If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t what is.
As someone who once held the highest of security clearances, I'm absolutely horrified that clearly incompetent things are "in charge" of our #nationalsecurity
The ONLY thing that I'm "happy" about is that the Senate minority ALL voted to NOT advance the current #SecDef & #DNI. 😔😠
However, I just educated myself on how the current director of the #CIA WAS put into this position by 20 #Democrats to include both from #Arizona. Both are #veterans who likely held clearances of THE highest order.
#WTHell 🤬@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov
If I had done far less than these recent breaches,
I would have had my clearance pulled, probably been demoted and might have gone to Leavenworth. And, I know those strict processes would've been deserved. 🫤
@msnbc.com
And since officials involved denied what was passed along the chain, I expect Jeff Goldberg to testify in a closed-door hearing and show the information he got which he wisely refrained from publishing.
This is what you get when you value obsequiousness over intelligence/qualifications.
Yes. Which makes it all the more odd that he would say, regarding #signalgate in his Atlantic article, "the level of foreign-policy insight [was] impressive."
Maybe he could where a red tie next time and just gently remind folks that the US plucked Bin Laden from the middle of a village without pancaking a single residential home.
He knew enough to withdraw himself from the group chat, which is more than the numbnuts who were on the chat learning things they shouldn’t knew to do… 🙄
Yes! According to his NPR interview, he left because he was uncomfortable with what he was privy to and needed to “ work through some journalism issues”. Yikes 😳
The inside story of how Jeffrey Goldberg was sent White House war plans
One tactic I heard them say is he hacked in. That could be a precursor to charging him, they're desperate to destroy the journalists. I hope he'll be OK.
I hope his legal counsel advises he share everything with the Senate Intelligence Committee. That may help protect him from any Trump retribution.
Then I would like that committee to have more hearings which we can observe on C-Span. Get it all out in the open.
What is so amazing about this incident is there are former military officers currently in prison because he or she accidentally had a piece of classified material in their briefcase or something similar. Yet these yahoos just keep right on tap dancing.
The comments in this thread are on point and incredibly insightful.
It’s all so damning, the comments point out how much there is to this scandal and what it says about our NatSec senior leadership & WH control.
That's a valid point, Jeff Goldberg's expertise in national security is undoubtedly valuable, and his insights can provide a more nuanced understanding of the situation. It's interesting to consider how his knowledge might influence the perspectives of those involved in the text chain discussion 🤔.
But 24 hours after deeply respecting his moral clarity for leaving the chat group, I'm now livid he didn't hang around a bit longer. We were days from Hegseth sharing... *shudders*
Also lost: they're doing official communications on Signal to avoid communications being retained. Our government is using 3rd party software to discuss Top Secret communications in avenues that do not retain data. They can stage a takeover of the US with no evidence through any official channels.
How much it is similar to what was being done in Poland under PiS government. They were using Gmail, because safe government communication was archived and was leaving traces.
But we managed to get rid of them 1.5 years ago, so....
I've never held a government position, never had a security clearance of any kind and even I know better. Jeez... it's like they're actively trying to get Americans killed.
Another thing...Hegseth is getting all the approbation - don't get me wrong he deserves it - BUT look at all the other people on that signal group chat.
They were ALL supposed to know better.
Where are the adults...
So true. Do I recall correctly during the GW Bush administration Karl Rove and the Whitehouse staff were using their personal phones instead of Government issued to avoid the retention of records.
“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”
Another thing that can not get lost is that the only reason we know about this is that Jeff was included which begs the question "How many DON'T we know about?"
I would go so far as call for all the congressmen that are saying it was just a mistake-it happens, need to go as well.Clearly they aren’t concerned with our security and that is their job.

I more concerned with what they have already picked up from them.
I can only hope that this display of incompetence will change their behavior to make OpSec a priority.
What, you question that? 🤔
@marymcnamara.bsky.social
Goldberg should release the full content of the Signal group text discussion.
This fascist regime is compromising national security daily based on the results of the Senate Intelligence Committee today.
#NQNQ247
Goldberg should publish it.
The top intelligence (alleged) pros in the nation have claimed there is nothing classified. Goldberg was included in the discussion.
Do it.

Nahh… wtf… why bother… they can call Donnie Dementia, he’ll spill the beans for beer and hugs and a round of golf
😔
And security protocols.
"Willfully" using a non-government platform for Classified Information IS a Crime.
"Inadvertently" disclosing Classified Information on a non-government platform IS NOT necessarily a Crime.
One Guess as to what This Administration WILL claim?
We're All Suffering Now Because Too Many People Chose, "High Horse On The High Road".

I *meant* DISapprobation. Duh on me.
They were trying to keep their communications out of the reach of Federal records laws...
"But their Signal chats."
The US military is now apparently for rent to any dictator who wants to bomb civilians in a foreign country.
LFG!
