Chat Fall-Out

From the BBC Live:

Headlined "Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump's Advisers Shared on Signal", the new Atlantic article's byline includes Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine's editor who wrote the original story explaining that he'd been added to the group chat

The new article includes extensive screenshots of the text exchanges.

Here is a summary of what we've learned:

Goldberg says he's written a follow-up piece because people deserve to see the texts as they are in the public interest following claims by Trump officials that Goldberg had been lying.

His team reached out to the US agencies involved in the group chat asking if they objected to his publishing of the texts. Some replied they did indeed object.

The text chain in the chat began at 11:44 am EDT on 15 March, 31 minutes before the first US warplanes launched, with Pete Hegseth announcing an incoming update. What follows includes mention of weapons, the target, and the target's location.

A follow-up text soon afterwards again mentions further weapons and timings.

That is followed by a text from Mike Waltz at 1:48 EDT pm containing real-time intelligence about the US attack in Yemen.

This led to the wave of positive responses from members of the chat that was reported earlier.

Later that afternoon, Hegseth posted an update that attacks would go on through the night.

^ Clearly everyone involved in this needs to lose their Security Clearance and thus their job.

Remember when Hilary Clinton used her personal computer for Government E-Mails and the MAGA shouted “Lock her up?”

This is along those same lines.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and others tried to deny and then downplay the Gross National Security Threat and so the Journalist (Jeffrey Goldberg) released the Screen Shots he received during the Conversation and it shows Jeffrey Goldberg was right and the Government Officials both lied about the National Security Incident to the American Public when it became public knowledge as well as tried to shift blame and downplay the significance of their stupidity.

This is more than a case of “Stupid is as stupid does.” It is a case of Federal Government Officials using unsecured means of communication to communicate and discuss Sensitive Government Issues whose outcome has major National Security implications for every American.

Of course Trump is standing by all of those involved (except Goldberg) because otherwise it would look like admitting he simply put unqualified people into major Government Positions – making it him just as dumb as those Officials involved in the Chat.

Like I said above: those Government Officials involved in the Chat and the Cover-Up/Lies when it became public should resign or fired. ^
