Signal text chain released
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
And what would be the crime? Genuinely asking.
Is it a crime to disclose potentially classified info if you aren’t under any obligation to keep it confidential, and you didn’t do anything to obtain it?
Honestly, there was a lot more info in there than I was expecting.
What a **** up by the TRUMP administration.
What a **** up by the TRUMP administration.
I miss Betty…..
Investigate away, but you are taking away the wrong point on the whole gotdam thing….
WTF does future attacks have to do with anything. Goldberg shined the light on perjury to Congress, monumental incompetence of epic proportions, and character assassination which I hope ends with defamation correction.
You say you're not defending anything, JFC.
That's all you MAGAs do. After all, you have to.
👍The relevant question from the civilian side would be why this doesn't nauseate EVERYONE? There is literally no doubt that what they did was illegal as hell...DANGEROUS as hell. Who knows where the guy in Moscow was while he was participating in what should have been a highly classified briefing.
I am truly baffled every time a story like this appears...and they appear over and over and over again...and it just gets excused by the usual suspects. Like I've said, the one time Trump nailed it was when he said he could murder someone right in front of these people and they'd still support him. Hell, they'd cheer him on.
Let’s not act as if your statement hasn’t happened before. Good grief.
What if the info he shared is sensitive enough to prosecute? They may have baited him.
Well, who knows with this Supreme Court, but from a series of cases including the one I already linked and the Pentagon Papers cases, and others, the general rule is no liability if you did nothing improper to receive the info - you didn’t ask the reporter to get the info for you, you didn’t pay for the info, you didn’t illegally record a source, etc.
If it comes in over the transom anonymously, you can print it with little fear of prosecution.
So prior wrongs make it right for you to demand an investigation? Good grief indeed.
And if it was a trap, it was the Dumbest sting ever.
You don’t really believe that? If you do, you need to step away from Fox immediately.
It came out of the blue. And the first X poster that had the full texts that I saw was a suspect account.
Wasn’t sure until the Atlantic confirmed.
Never, ever quote Fox F*cking News to me again….Oh…

pretty funny watching people try to defend or minimize this
you know you can just say this is bad, right? or just ignore it all together

LOL...they let him off ANY legal hook by confirming multiple times that there was no classified material shared. None. Goldberg did exactly the correct thing. A responsible reporter, coming into possession of possibly classified intelligence, will contact the administration to make sure there is nothing that might be too sensitive to release. The Atlantic did exactly that. They were assured this meeting did not include classified material. The Atlantic DID withhold the name of an active CIA operative so they did precisely what should have been done. Period. There is nothing to investigate on Goldberg's side. He has Supreme Court precedent on his side. What might Hegseth or Waltz have besides the unwavering, lapdog obsequiousness of the maggot horde?
CIA Director said Signal was installed on his work phone and had been approved for use by the prior admin.
Shall we ponder how long they’ve been doing business this way?
Or does that risk diluting the outrage?
She shouldn’t make it until April…
Trump thought everyone he's surrounded by would follow him lock step? And there might be some staffer with a sense of decency that added JG to reveal the incompetence?
Plenty of time to give Russia some good stuff.
I would think an investigation would be in order regardless of your statement so we have an official account of what happened.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they found the info sensitive enough to be shared in the manner the reporter did, it’s all I’m saying.

Fair point. Then again with this basket of buffoons they will undoubtedly make similar public gaffes in this future.
Oh...Oh…

Likely bc the administration attacked him, called him a liar & he had receipts. Would you not do the same?
No. I’m saying it’s what’s coming because king dodo bird thinks he ca do what he wants.
that wasn't a serious question...everyone knows why a person who's being called a liar by the highest levels of government would want to show everyone that they aren't lying
there isn't really any good way to react to this story other than "wow...those guys screwed up"...and of course that can't be said!
so some people will have to look for any little room for something anyone else did that was wrong...no matter how ridiculous they sound in doing so

The bus is warmed up and they are just about to push Walz under it, lol:
President Donald Trump is reportedly furious with National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after he mistakenly added Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat discussing sensitive military plans. Trump was less concerned about the potential security breach and more upset that Waltz had Goldberg's number saved in the first place, sources say.
The Atlantic released the full Signal chat between senior Trump administration officials on Wednesday, exposing how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed the exact times of warplane launches via the unclassified messaging app. The information, considered potentially classified, was shared before U.S. pilots were airborne.
What to Know:
Trump's national security adviser, Mike Waltz, sought to downplay new details that emerged from a Signal group chat about strikes in Yemen. Waltz posted on social media that the information shared in the chat did not include "war plans," emphasizing that there were no specifics about locations or intelligence methods.

Yup, Sometimes in life you have to admit you screwed up. Own it, say you will fix it and let the American people know it won’t happen again. Should be so simple to do but egos make it nearly impossible I guess.

Guess the administration shouldn't have gone in front of COngress and the media and lied about it then, forcing the reporter to clear his name. He offered to share in a SCIF, they declined. They are wholly responsible for any negative outcomes now.
Think the folks using a chat app to discuss attack plans should be in more trouble.
Grasping at straws here. Who cares. Like they could do anything about it even if they knew the attack was coming.
I had actually wondered about that. If there was a scramble to figure out who had this guy‘s contact information and has been leaking information to the Atlantic.
