I watched this the minute it came out and I was so frustrated with how cautious Goldberg was being by saying he didn't want to release all the details. At the same time I was extremely impressed with and grateful for that level of clearheadedness too.

Because some of it is names of the targets and detailed information of the strike and the other is name of the burned CIA agent.

And that's the stuff we know.

I expect other stuff could hurt us or get innocent people killed. Which is why he is cagey. And I respect that, too.

He could redact it himself.

Even a heavily redacted thread would keep the fire burning under Hegseth.

akumariver.bsky.social•17 days ago

He might give it to Congress. And they can redact it.

Signal is not secure, the Russians have already cracked it. Holy shit this is crazy. But just imagine if they are using it knowing the Russians are listening.

bretton.dev•17 days ago

Source on Russians cracking Signal? Cracking E2EE is quite the feat.

The correct answer backed by ethics.
Ethics not a word known 47 and his loyalists

Integrity versus infamy.

jadeabliss.bsky.social•17 days ago

Right answer.

They are irresponsible liars who’re going to get away with this too

dfourny.bsky.social•17 days ago

Goldberg knows he’s dead meat for future info from sources if he goes public. He was inadvertently added into this chat bc he already has connections with some of these people. He’s a “trusted” and/or quasi important journalist for leaking a story Admin wants leaked. JG is in the Rolodex folks.

ohiorob.bsky.social•17 days ago

There was nothing positive in this story that would lead them to want it reported, as today has shown.

Goldberg's credentials are basically impeccable compared to the entire cabinet, combined. We're probably going to learn he was invited to the chat by a 20-something staffer, and no one cared.

theoldduffer.bsky.social•17 days ago

He already has gone public.

He's already stripped from the Rolodexes you're talking about.

dfourny.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well, yes in a big way. But he still holds the entire transcript (he wrote of recording it, making a copy). So I imagine the clowns at intel are still very much interested in him and what he may or can do or say. And he knows this, too. He’s a very bright guy.

We would also have accepted "just because they're morons ..."

The IDF trained him well

One path to isolationism: be so incompetent that other nations can't trust us. Can't share confidential information because the boobs in charge of the USA will blab like idiots. We don't step away from them so much as they step away from us to protect themselves from raging trumpian ineptitude.

jimbrowski12.bsky.social•17 days ago

We're lucky the journalist was Mr. Goldberg and not someone less judicious.

Secrecy and dishonesty are standard for GOP National Security appointees:

Would be nice to hear from the W crowd. Back when the GOP could be considered foreign policy grownups.

naturalwanderer.bsky.social•17 days ago

Nope. This needs to be outed and only full transparency will do. Americans need to understand what their vote is getting them and full transparency is kryptonite against an administration such as this. Otherwise, the admin will cover it up and lie

Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I understand his view but the attack has already occurred so the damage would minimal and releasing the information might save lives in the future.

Besides, Putin and Xi likely already have the complete text.

sjbud.bsky.social•17 days ago

That’s a journalist!

From what was made available, it looks like the order to bomb came from above, without their input, almost to their surprise. How did Trump decided to bomb, without his top staff advices? That is the scariest part.

In other words: I’m taking offers

Hopefully he has made an authenticated / time-stamped copy - more than just screenshots, just in case.

emmarose40150.bsky.social•17 days ago

Sounds like Merrick Garland.

* pre- president calling him a "sleazebag" on national news

itshappening.bsky.social•17 days ago

What’s done is done. Republicans are the most protected MF’s. This is why we are stuck with this incompetent administration. Sticking to norms when we are not in normal times.
