The White House has confirmed that Trump’s national security team, including Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz, "accidentally" texted Yemen attack plans to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg via a Signal Chat group.

Jeffrey Goldberg was an IDF prison guard (First Intifada), and has pushed many wars: Iraq (2002 New Yorker piece), Iran (2010 strike hype), Syria (2012 intervention case).

The Atlantic is owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, billionaire widow of Steve Jobs, who is a major financial donor of Democrat causes and candidates, including Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign.

Why is Mike Waltz or any Trump admin official in text groups with the Fake News Media at all, let alone Goldberg at The Atlantic?

Was this a mistake or a purposeful strategic leak to a Trump hater in the media?

[hardspunned]

This smells fishy to me. Why would Trump want to have that info purposely “leaked”? Might have been planned to further slap the Euroweenies

[cowboyusa]

Possibly letting Europe know that this Administration is fed up with them

[NFHale]

Also possible that it was to identify leaks

No surprise regarding Waltz, he’s the ‘woke’ part of the Trump Administration...won’t mind seeing him gone.

[HYPOCRACY]

I don’t know how you can accidentally send classified info to a reporter. This smells like a setup. Who orchestrated it is the question.

That dog won’t hunt. Waltz added him to the chat which sent a notice to everyone already in the group and no one noticed.

Waltz is a klutz.

[nwrep]

Incompetence might be a cause?

I’ll take strategic for $500 Alex. 😏

Was it a good plan?!

Classic trap to catch a leaker.

Feed different information to different folks and sit back and wait to see who leaks which story.

[jacknhoo]

Sounds like Mike Walz should be called on the carpet.

*Waltz

[cowboyusa]

This is the kind of thing that DC goes gaga about, and the rest of the Nation just rolls there eyes.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Also possible that it was to identify leaks.

Explain how including a hostile journalist on a group chat about secret war plans is going to identify leaks. Because it seems that IS the leak.

[silent_jonny]

"accidentally"

[Callahan]

Likely Waltz was trying to add US Trade Rep Jamieson Greer to the Signal chat. Goldberg noted he appears in Signal as “JG.” I bet Greer does too. Adding Greer makes sense because the Suez Canal was involved. Of course they use Signal expressly to avoid records. It was incredibly stupid. Of course Goldber could have said hey you added me by mistake by why do that when his hated enemies are making fools of themselves.

Guess that settles that the source was correct.

[Openurmind]

“Guess that settles that the source was correct.”

Yep... Sure does doesn’t it...

[Coronal]

Doesn’t make sense to me either.

Any body having an Atlantic journalist on their contact list deserves very special attention
