So, about that Signal chat.
On Monday, shortly after we published a story about a massive Trump-administration security breach, a reporter asked the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, why he had shared plans about a forthcoming attack on Yemen on the Signal messaging app. He answered, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
At a Senate hearing yesterday, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, were both asked about the Signal chat, to which Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently invited by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group,” Gabbard told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

First, contact info needs to be checked and confirmed and full names no initials should be used.
The app was loaded with the incorrect name / phone number combination was loaded by the CIA
So when the name Marco Rubio has the phone number of a reporter, it was a total accident.
/S
I am heartened by the fact that these people all come across as consummate professionals. It’s the conversation itself that should have been kept under wraps.
Nothing inappropriate at all in that list of texts. Or am I missing something?
Which one was Goldberg?
I didn’t see any ‘plans’......................
We went to great lengths to distribute false plans to our enemies during WWII
An eavesdropper rarely speaks. I think he is the “JG You” in the attendance list.
Julian Assange rises to a point of order....
Is warfare against the Houthis in the US national interest?
Answer: “It’s a huge stretch.”
Oh, cool. My taxes are paying for our Navy to destroy pirates. That’s their job and I’m glad to have proof of their doing it. Thanks for the info, Jeff! Good job, Mr. President, Mr. SecDef, and the rest of Team America.
Note to Jeff: Thanks again for letting us know our government is doing a great job destroying Houti pirates. Now, please stay the hell out of their way.
This was a spying operation by the reporter and whoever secretly added him.
These aren’t plans. All this does is let the Atlantic share some inside gossip on how 21st Century Europeans are freeloading weenies.
This is an embarrassment exercise.
Thank you!
Why are there TWO “MAR” (Marco Rubio’s) in the attendees list?
Is one a reporter?
America-loving, intelligent, masculine adults are back in charge.
Yes, the first entry that says “JG You”
Are criminal spies hanged these days, or is it the firing squad now? Do they get to choose?
Not sure, could be two different MRs, or it could be two different numbers for Rubio.
Based on the screenshot, Goldberg has all these people’s names in his phone directory.
Otherwise it would just be phone numbers.
Something is messed up here!!!
