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.

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.
Who cares?
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.
Little Drama…Contact “Little Timmy Waltz” he has something that can help stop the Bleeding.🤡😂
Trump 🇺🇸
“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.
Interesting take on it.
I would say the staffer should be charged with sedition, in releasing information that was detrimental to the Trump administration....
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.

Undercover CIA was on call, reporter comments.
Biden’s administration installed Signal on the phones. It saves the records. Government approved method for unclassified discussions
Blondi is useless
Still doesn’t mean they didn’t use their own devices. Defeats the entire point as a fail safe when ‘others’ are included.
It’s fewer letters than scandal
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.
