According to WH, the ‘contact label’ on the phone had a different name on it, not the Atlantic journalist’s name, so they thought the person whose name it had was the person in on the chat, not the Atlantic guy.
IT IS A SET UP!
You don’t mislabel a contact accidentally. The phone does the labelling automatically.
You have to INTENTIONALLY MISLABEL A CONTACT..........................
Of course you’re right.
A setup for sure, either via an embedded staffer or a cyber hack.
