Goldberg made a big mistake. He called the conversation classified top secret, then he spilled the transcript in his media. Spilling classified stuff is bad. Right?
Our team tried to pretend they're liberals - using non-authorized forms of communication, deleting the records of those conversations (directly, with a 7 day destruct, and a 28 day destruct, as set by the Signal individual participants), blaming the whistleblower, declaring it never happened, and when it's proved it happened, then saying it was of no importance.
Is this the future this administration wishes to put forward? Pretend to be liberals? I sure hope not. An error was made, own up to it, put in policies to prevent it from happening again, use authorized forms of communication for government business and preserve the record for the job the American people are paying them to do.
This is silly that we're trying to dance around and pretend this wasn't a total mistake. That the handling of it wasn't done extremely poorly, and probably the first real stumble of an administration that hasn't even reached the 90 day mark. Even worse is having administration officials on the record openly lying.
It's undercutting credibility while the administration is in open lawfare with the judiciary - more unelected federal officials trying to wrest control from the elected leaders.
Well, it’s bad to publish “ classified” info if you’re Julian Assange
He should have been arrested.
