Damning Yemen Group Chat

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he's got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Put an unqualified confederacy of dunces in cabinet positions and this is what you get. WTG Trump.

Somewhere in China and Russia:

"They made it so simple for us to gather top secret intelligence! Kim Jung Un was right. Trump is a dotard who hires fools."

The only water supply is the water Visitor carries like a loyal lackie for Trump!

Too much mercury in his water supply.

BOAZ must have been exposed to too much mercury

America has top notch secure communications capabilities.

WTF are these bozos doing using a commercial messaging app?

The messages on our top notch secure comms are preserved as official records. The Signal messages were slated for deletion after a week.

The criminals we have running the show know the value of not leaving behind any records of their crimes and other activities.

You hit the nail squarely on the head.

The story is, of course, much worse if Goldberg is telling the truth (either he or Hegseth is lying; there's no middle ground). But even if that part of the story isn't true, there is hardly a more sensitive fact that we need to keep secret than that senior American policymakers are discussing a surprise military strike. You carefully guard that discussion, whether or not it includes coordinates, targets, methods, or strike times. This leaves me asking once again the Casey Stengel refrain: Can't anybody here play this game?

Goldberg is the one telling the truth. To wit:

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump's Advisers Shared on Signal

The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic's editor in chief.

By Jeffrey Goldberg and Shane Harris

The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trumpcombined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts"have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions. There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared.

Experts have repeatedly told us that use of a Signal chat for such sensitive discussions poses a threat to national security. As a case in point, Goldberg received information on the attacks two hours before the scheduled start of the bombing of Houthi positions. If this information"particularly the exact times American aircraft were taking off for Yemen had fallen into the wrong hands in that crucial two-hour period, American pilots and other American personnel could have been exposed to even greater danger than they ordinarily would face. The Trump administration is arguing that the military information contained in these texts was not classified"as it typically would be although the president has not explained how he reached this conclusion.

They definitely sent war plans on Signal, a commercial app, instead of using secure U.S. communications, and also sent the war plans (2 hours before the attack) to Goldberg.

Using a commercial app to avoid having their communications officially recorded, raises a LOT more issues about this gang.
