I’d say discussing war plans is about as high up the national security pyramid you can get.
Everyone with a brain knows Mediaite is a propaganda outlet. Leftist drivel.
If it’s true (and no one of this crew has denied it,) then the only reason for the delay was that The Atlantic sat on the story.
I don’t know about you, but I’m squeamish about letting The Atlantic act as gatekeeper of our national secrets.
But “massive leak”? “War plans”? Lol. Cmon man.
Re: 22 - you need to work on your ability to discern.
Welp, since the told him I guess now they’ll have to kill him...
What happened to using a SCIF?
Oh breathless Freepers. Let’s all remember the 48 hour rule on breaking news stories.
If it’s drivel then Hegseth, Vance, Waltz, and most importantly President Trump could easily refute it.
As I said in my first comment, it is mind-blowing that this story was exploding all over cable news and the internet, yet no one bothered to inform the President.
It doesn’t take 48 hours for the White House to shoot this down if it’s a lie.
You can tell that it was deliberate because any actual breach on that scale owuld have been reported to Trump immediately. He wouldn’t have to hear about it from a “journalist.”
You believe their lies? Wow.
‘ Don’t buy BS from The Atlantic.’
There are actual logs you know.
WTF are they DOING holding conversations on Signal outside US secure communication channels? Signal is used to make sure there’s no government record. It’s a common tool of leftists.
War plans? ROFLMAO. Are you saying the incoming air raid was announced by a Goldberg and the USA still decimated the targets?
“You can tell that it was deliberate....”
What was deliberate? Fox and every other news channel had this story for over an hour before the President spoke. Was the story deliberately withheld from him?
The Atlantic released its story after the attacks.
“Canary Trap” — indeed, a possibility.
A “Canary Trap” is a clever technique used to identify the source of a leak when sensitive information gets out. The basic idea is to plant unique, slightly altered versions of a document or piece of info among different suspects, then see which version pops up in the wild. It’s like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs—each crumb is different, so when one gets picked up, you know who dropped it. The term comes from the old “canary in a coal mine” concept, where the bird’s distress signaled danger; here, the “canary” is the bait that reveals the leaker.
Including the "journalist" on the chat.
Thanks for posting this - another motive for the “limited hangout”.
