The rest of the DC setup is transparently clear. (1) Goldberg held the story until the day before a long-scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. (2) The SSCI then used the hearing to blast the heads of the Trump administration intelligence silos on the issue of “classified” information in the text messages.
♦ The next act in this well-known performance will be for Democrats to demand the release of the Signal App transcript, if it’s not classified, then there’s nothing to hide.
♦ Public pressure via narrative drum-pounding will continue to increase, until the chat messages are released to congress. [Keep in mind, Jeffrey Goldberg likely already has them.]
♦ Everyone in the chat group will then be told they must recuse themselves from internal silo determinations as to the classified status of the conversation. More public pressure will be generated to achieve this “position of conflict” demand.
♦ The Intelligence Community, without the heads of the silos – likely leveraging the internal investigative agents of the FBI (INSD), will then say the content of the chat was indeed classified, TSCI level. There will be weeks and months of leaks to the media as each granular detail is discussed ad infinitum.
♦ The cabinet members will then face the drumbeat of resignation demands, and/or useful impeachment fodder for ‘lying to congress’ during today’s Senate Select Committee on Intelligence testimony.
At least that should be the anticipated approach by the “Seven Ways from Sunday” group, who operate to defend the interests of the Intelligence Community from agency heads like those who were on the Signal App chat group.
We’ve all watched this play before.

This is what pisses me off to no end. They’ll be rabbling about this for awhile.
I’m surprised he didn’t divulge the information before the attack. He’s probably losing sleep over the missed opportunity.
Yes gate!
The big “security lapse” is a complete nothing burger. If this one doesn’t start the process to clog up the Trump agenda, they have many more to bring into play. Same old same old we saw throughout the first administration.
The goal is to Session the entire administration. Uniparty Team R members will be just as active as Team D members.
Nah, that’s what I thought yesterday. It’s just as Sundance says. Ten minutes ago we get this.
“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is now demanding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to be fired.”
Fire or recuse, surely you remember the routine from the first administration.
Good question.
Yeah Fox news, that is turning very quickly and predictably against Trump and MAGA.
Did Goldberg have an obligation under journalism ethics to confirm he was invited and/or meant to be on the call?
That’s funny! Of ALL DC Uniparty Team R members, most will openly defy the president or work behind his back.
We saw this movie over and over and over again in the first four years.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.
“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is now demanding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to be fired.”
God, I hate these reruns!
Incorrect.. there’s a list of who’s on it. If it changes you should be smart enough to recognize that. Regardless intergovernmental communications don’t belong on a public app.
If you know anything about OPSEC or anything about government communications it’s on governmental communications devices only.
Wow.
So THIS is why the FBI and CIA have been telling Americans to USE SIGNAL since last year sometime?
I did not know this about its connection to busting Oath Keepers.
There is a huge scandal here, which is the incompetence of the folks who provide IT to the government. it is all provided by support service contractors - deeepstate contractors who are on the inside of the lucrative contracting scheme and never held accountable for performance. THe guys who do this are at best mediocre. There are no Starlink engineers in this crowd who provide these things. On a properly secure system you could not send a message to someone not authorized to receive it [both clearance and need to know] because the guy receiving it would just get encrypted gibberish. To say that signal is “encrypted” is a misdirection. It was decrypted for the journalist who should not have been authorized to receive the email. This is a government wide problem. IT in the government is a disaster, and deliberately so because people make lots of money never fixing the problem.
Ratcliff said the CIA downloaded it to his phone the day he took office.
They will let it go as soon as the Epstein files are released. Hopefully the politicians names aren’t redacted.
That reporter has more yet to be released. Drip Dripping it out.
Trump ought to release the whole thing. That will shut them up.
