Signalgate: President Trump Stands by Mike Waltz - Attributing Signal App Issue to Waltz Staffer Who “Accidentally” Added Journalist.

Fixed it. I think they were fishing for leakers.

It’s been 50 years and some people still haven’t figured out that adding the tired, cliched “-gate” on the end of a controversy automatically waters it down and is soon ignored. In this case, fine!

After reading further information on this it sounds like it was set up to smoke out moles. And they found the leaker as one of Waltz’ staffers. Now let the democrats bloviate and waste their resources while Trump signs another dozen EOs.

“If you know anything about OPSEC or anything about government communications”

I know a little about government communications. Hubby spent half of his life in SCIFs. Since cell phones are prohibited, I couldn’t COMMUNICATE with him half the time.

Staffers seem to cause a lot of problems in DC. Do they know the name of this “staffer”?

The R’s just need to do what O always did. Never talk about anything.

This wasn't "accidental", the staffer had to have deliberately entered the phone number at some point to add the number to the conversation thread

I would say the staffer should be charged with sedition, in releasing information that was detrimental to the Trump administration....

There is no evidence to suggest that this didn't come from their own personal devices. Putting Signal on a .gov device defeats the idea of accountability and foia abilities.

I would bet some, if not most on the chat relay were using their own devices, and also had tiktok and potentially other leaking apps on their devices.

Biden’s administration installed Signal on the phones. It saves the records. Government approved method for unclassified discussions

We still don't know if they used .gov devices[We couldn't use it on DoD, some years ago] or their own, nor if even Signal was authorized for use. The only bro who will have kept the messages would be Goldberg.

Still doesn’t mean they didn’t use their own devices. Defeats the entire point as a fail safe when ‘others’ are included.

I don’t know. CIA loaded it on Ratcliffs computer his first day. He stated that in the intelligence committee this morning.

I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Knowing Trump everyone had to know he was going to drop the hammer on the Houthis. How can they act like this is a huge secret. Now if someone said at 0300 the bombing will commenceillthink differently but if they were discussing something’s going to be done in the next couple of days….yeah? So what else is new.
