Trump's DUI Hire Texts War Plans to Journalist.

I'd be wondering why they hadn't all quit already, every one of them.

Not even wait for the push; jump already.

because they are all ready to throw one individual under the bus rather than give up the financial and power benefits of their new positions. They'll look to trump to fire the person they can show to be the weakest amongst them.

In short, they have no honour.

this probably hits it on the head, too, the why of Signal being used instead of the in-place government methods for secure exchanges of information: "avoiding the Official Records"

That’s a big takeaway! This administration uses Signal because the official secure government communications system is recorded.

Their concern is avoiding future prosecution for what they are doing. Kleptocracy in action.

Cry cry and cry some more! Let us know when the pain is unbearable and we will simply kick you again! Trust me, it's gonna get much much worse for you pathetic communist perverted leftists, NUCH WORSE! MARCH MADNESS! The fun NEVER STOPS!!

This reminds me of a dogfish. If you catch one and cut it open, allowing its guts to spill out then throw it back in the water the damn thing will begin to eat its own viscera. DA up there doesn't know the grand party of the Republic has come down to eating its self and doesn't even realize it. I'd feel sorry for him but just can't manage it.

Gabbard hasn't found a position she can't flip flop on.

she did? I missed that... the other guy (waltz?) said he was open to an investigation of the facts. All the more reason I hope Goldberg retains the full account of information to share with the committee.

If these incompetent officials slide by on this because trump will 'kill' any investigation, I will still be shocked though damned if I know why

oh, yes, I did see that but was busy doing other things too (getting the m-i-l off to her doc's appointment) so obviously missed that vital point. Thankyou.

"No sensitive material was leaked!"

"Cool! Share this non sensitive chat with us!"

"DERP!"

It couldn't get any worse, right?



As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia



President Trump's Ukraine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, when he was included in a group chat with more than a dozen other top administration officials — and inadvertently, one journalist — on the messaging app Signal, a CBS News analysis of open-source flight information and Russian media reporting has revealed.



Russia has repeatedly tried to compromise Signal, a popular commercial messaging platform that many were shocked to learn senior Trump administration officials had used to discuss sensitive military planning.



Witkoff arrived in Moscow shortly after noon local time on March 13, according to data from the flight tracking website FlightRadar24, and Russian state media broadcast video of his motorcade leaving Vnukovo International Airport shortly after. About 12 hours later, he was added to the "Houthi PC small group" chat on Signal, along with other top Trump administration officials, to discuss an imminent military operation against the Houthis in Yemen, according to The Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who was included on the chat for reasons that remain unclear.



U.S. lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, have questioned the use of the commercial communications platform for the conversation, which Goldberg revealed Monday in his own report for The Atlantic.



The National Security Council told CBS News on Monday that the group chat "appears to be authentic."

Did Goldberg take screen shots of the classified or 'sensitive' posts like he did the rest?
If he did, would that mean he could be prosecuted for having possession of it?

I don't know the answer, but if I sent you classified information, and you read it not understand it was classified, is that a crime? If you took a screenshot to preserve it see if it was real, is that a crime?

The first bar to hurdle in charging someone with a crime is the "intent".

Given his story, it seems he was unsure if it was an elaberate rouse, and he kind of stay on to it, as a reporter would, to find out the "story".

Would Trump's admin try and charge him, damn right they would,if they can figure out a way. I doubt he would be convicted though.

Also Derpy hasn't been here yet to give us his "legal" wisdom, so I could be way off the mark.

I doubt there will be repercussions for anyone involved. Trump wants to be surrounded by incompetent idiots because it gives him a chance to feel like “the smart one” for the first time in his life.

Everyone is dancing around the real problem here, which is not that plans for U.S. intervention in Yemen were leaked, but that such such plans exist.

The Houthi have been attacking international shipping in the Red Sea. It's not wrong for the U.S. to fight back.

 

[Bray123]

'I don't know what was in the texts but there was no classified information and I'm not going to share the contents with you, because it's unclassified.'

Mmm, OK.

This wasn't defense of the Red Sea shipping lanes, it was retaliation for support of Gaza against the genocide.

There is no genocide in Gaza. The Houthis just want to kill Jews.

You are a liar.

The Houthis just want to kill Jews.

Pretty sure every Jew in Yemen went to Israel decades ago.
