Todd Spangler should have let the proper authorities know he was included in a conversation he should have been.

He will claim this says the Trump admin is incompetent all the while the Biden admin was run by an actual incompetent.

Sorry I should have said Jeffrey Goldberg should have let the proper authorities know he was included in a conversation he should have been.

Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s secretary of defense, inadvertently included the top editor of The Atlantic in a Signal text chat group

Why is the top editor of The Atlantic even in Pete Hegseth's Signal contact list?

“Why is the top editor of The Atlantic even in Pete Hegseth’s Signal contact list?”

Because politicians communicate with the media.

A lot.

[Racketeer]

Oh no. Is this as bad as Hilary’s unsecure server?

[Jonty30]

Maybe it was a strategic leak?

[Kleon]

Oh no. Is this as bad as Hilary’s unsecure server?

LOL, not even close.

[USCG SimTech]

No accident.

Rooting out traitors, pulling an IDF and warning when and where there will be a strike to try and save innocent “collateral damage” deaths.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Pete should skip the lunchtime martini.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

He isn’t. It’s Waltz. Or, who knows, maybe it’s whoever writes the software and whatever the ChiComs want.

I can’t believe any thinking people are stupid enough to trust this technology.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Walz is claiming it was he who added Goldberg to the list NOT Hegseth

[DeplorablePaul]

Who set up the call? I bet Pete didn’t. This sounds like sabotage.

[Kleon]

Pete should skip the lunchtime martini.

Nice try. As far as I know, he hasn't touched a drop in months.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Nah, I doubt Pete was selling classified info to the Muslim brotherhood

[TBall]

Nope no way

[Openurmind]

The MIC deep state in Trump’ back pocket is beginning to show it’s self. I knew this was going to happen the minute Vance was announced as his running mate.

[Captainpaintball]

The left is, of course, saying it’s 10000000000000 times worse.

[Bulwinkle]

The reports says Mike Waltz put the chat group together. I’m wondering if it was a deep-state subordinate conducting sabotage, and not waltz who put together to the group chat

[TomGuy]

Hegseth did it?

According to Mediate, it was Waltz:

Goldberg said he was added to the group after an invitation from Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on Signal, an encrypted messaging cell phone app.

Fingerpointers need to get on the same page before they do their fingerpointing.

I’m guessing (hoping)(praying?) there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Sum Ting Wong.
