Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat
www.nytime ^ | 4/20/25 | Jaffee, Schmitt, Haberman

Posted on 04/20/2025 3:05:56 PM PDT by CaptainK

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic.

I guess maybe the MS-13 gangbanger is not a supposed winning play anymore, so they change their game now?

Signal chat and “all” social media should be banned for any official correspondence. There’s just to I trusion in all social media.

He’s making some rookie mistakes, but the way they’re hunting him and his team tells me he’s probably one of Trump’s good ones.

the “source” is Maggie Haberman the go to whore for the seeing eye eh anti-USA embeds from obamaumao the first. They are still spilling bullcrap they 1.)could not be privy to and 2.) are a creative writing narrative to continue the “signal” scandal.

Finally this is March.. and the Houthi raids all were successful (recall the Trump release kumbayah campfire circle of houthi tribe leaders— huge JDAM or other targeted bomb blew some 70 or so standing in a field— to smithereens, and the targeting video shows a crater in the middle all that is left (100 foot plus radius crater of a depth of 30-40 feet, Big boom.

The raids were all successful, and we don’t know but the Goldberg “leak” was a plant, and paid huge dividends in his contacts inside Israel ShinBet (the leader of which was fired 2 weeks ago by Bibi, and is going to be arrested since he still has not “stepped” down).

The Slimes are making this crap up, they are trying lamely to get a wrap up smear to get Hegseth to resign— it is not going to happen—Trump knows who these particular NYSlmes a@@holes are. Haberman will be a pleasure to see wiped out. She will be outed. In the Anon days she was actively aggressively shadowed on commuter trains, photos and taunts of facts she purposely left out of her “urinolism”.

IF he is still using Signal for official information it shows that he is reckless and irresponsible.

Unproven propaganda claims of mistakes. Source: “four people” well Maggie babe give the f’n names— you don’t get to circle jerk privileged communication without proof the comms ever happened.

So many here on FR have their own anti-Trump agenda and are quick on the trigger (premature e-journalejcaculative even). Who would pile on to this utter bullcrap, and why?

Irritant foci that’s who. So noted.

I have noticed that the recent Slimes articles rely almost exclusively on “anonymous sources”.

This is a blatant violation of journalistic ethics:

https://ethicsandjournalism.org/resources/best-practices/best-practices-anonymous-sources/

“In general, journalists should avoid using anonymous sources to make accusations or derogatory comments, a practice sometimes called “an unattributed negative.”

Why? Simply because it can look dubious and has a hint of unfairness. Negative comments from an anonymous source might lead readers to believe that someone with ill-will is hiding behind their anonymity to evade the consequences of their statements.

And, the target of the negative statement has no idea who is making the comment and why.”

Who cares, the attacks were successful and they will never use the Biden trap again.

“sorry, can’t trust the source, most onown propagandists”

I agree. The NYT cannot be trusted as a news source.
