Another day, another leak.
President Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and others in the National Security Council have used Gmail to conduct official government business according to a leak to The Washington Post.
Mike Waltz is already under fire for adding The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat group with high-ranking Trump Administration officials discussing the successful attack on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
According to The Post, Mike Waltz did not transmit classified information over his Gmail account – unlike Hillary Clinton while she was the head of the Department of State.
The Washington Post reported:
Members of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials.
The use of Gmail, a far less secure method of communication than the encrypted messaging app Signal, is the latest example of questionable data security practices by top national security officials already under fire for the mistaken inclusion of a journalist in a group chat about high-level planning for military operations in Yemen.
A senior Waltz aide used the commercial email service for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict, according to emails reviewed by The Post. While the NSC official used his Gmail account, his interagency colleagues used government-issued accounts, headers from the email correspondence show.
Waltz has had less sensitive, but potentially exploitable information sent to his Gmail, such as his schedule and other work documents, said officials, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe what they viewed as problematic handling of information. The officials said Waltz would sometimes copy and paste from his schedule into Signal to coordinate meetings and discussions.
The media is yet again attacking President Trump’s NatSec Advisor, however they downplayed reports of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama’s use of Gmail and unsecured servers to conduct official government business.
Too bad Biden didn’t ask Hillary Clinton’s advice on how to use BleachBit.
Joe Biden used a private email to send government information he was getting from the State Department to his crackhead, globetrotting son Hunter during the Obama years.
Some Obama Admin officials were aware of Joe Biden’s private email “robinware456@gmail.com” and used it to communicate with him.
Biden was briefed on highly sensitive North Korea missile launch on a private email account.
The special election has resulted in the cover of his former House seat by a Republican. So, now he can resign. The Goldberg thing was a huge blunder of the type no one with that kind of assignment should make. This is likewise a very stupid error and the press will run with it for a long time. He should resign.
C’mon, man. Surely y’all are experienced enough to realize that commie trash are not consistent. They do whatever is needed to accomplish their goals, regardless of morals or laws.
This all makes sense when you accept that as the default position.

DS Wrap & smear
Sure, but Pedo Pete did it for the chicom bribe loot.
The leftist media makes it easy. The examples are endless. When its a longstanding continuous obvious pattern of hypocrisy you can absolutely point it out without having overwhelming moral superiority.
Ideally we would like to have the high ground but thats not always going to happen. I tend to look at things in relative terms. Sometime just being not as horrible is okay.
They need a Trump scalp.
The more scalps the better.
You got it sir! It is sad to see several on FR fall for this leftist propaganda. This is all BS!!
the point is that it’s like all the leftist stories. Anonymous “source” sets a narrative. The rest of the MSM take up the chant. Why should we believe any of it?
Freepers aren’t falling for the story, they are creating the story to force Waltz out. Waltz is not liked on the far right because he is willing to bomb Iran, the Houthis, supports Israel, and doesn’t want to turn Kiev over to Putin.
