Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe “lied” under oath to the Senate Intelligence Committee when denying classified information was included in a Signal group chat on military strikes against the Houthis.
Co-host host Mika Brzezinski said, “Senator, do these text messages that are now released by The Atlantic, by Jeffrey’s reporting, answer some of the questions that you couldn’t get answers to yesterday?”
Warner said, “Well, it sure answers the question that the two witnesses, I believe, lied when they said, ‘Oh, nothing to see here, nothing classified.’ One of the witnesses tried to hedge a little bit later about, well, this may be defense classified, but you would have to be an idiot not to understand what Jeffrey just laid out is at a huge classification level that if it had fallen into enemy hands and the Houthis had been able to realign their offenses, American lives could be lost.”

Wealthiest democrat in congress, and the third wealthiest overall. Corrupt as they come.
I’m not saying they didn’t lie.
All I’m going to say is, you can take your selective outrage and stuff it.
We had 4 years of bold-faced lies. It’s S.O.P., and not only did they not complain, they ran cover for it.
No thanks. I’ll just wait to get the real truth from Adam Schiff.
In today’s American with today’s weaponized politicians, if you want to keep anything secret, YOU HAVE TO LIE. ONLY A FOOL WOULD TELL THE TRUTH IN THE DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION THESE DAYS.
The ultimate authority of what is a difference what isn’t classified rests in the President. So that’s who to ask whether the info was or is classified.
The information hadn't been classified formally, so the answer that "it wasn't classified" may have been correct technically on some level. But there's no question that it is the type of operational information that is always considered classified.
It was a f*ck-up by someone at some point. There's a lot of word-smithing going on for political reasons to try to minimize it, but it was most definitely a f*ck-up.
That doesn't mean the Administration is bad, evil or generally incompetent.
I don’t understand why any staffer had that jerk’s phone number. Needs to be fully investigated
More like ‘mourning joe’. Hey warner.....🖕. I think you lied on the show.
Can Gabbard and Ratcliffe sue POS Warner for slander? His claim was made on MSNBC, not the floor of the Senate — he doesn’t have immunity for his statements.
For having a such a history with our Founding Fathers, Virginia sure sends some corrupted, low quality, idiotic and straight-up America hating people to Congress.
“ I believe, if it had fallen into enemy hands, could be lost.”
a lot of hypothetical hyperbolic hysterics going on...
So, Sen Warner, do you support espionage charges against Jeff Goldberg for publishing classified information?
“may have been correct technically on some level. But there’s no question that it is the type of operational information that is always considered classified.”
Nope.... you are either pregnant, or you are not.
Same with classified information.
they caught this reporter lying already...claimed the CIA Director named an undercover agent in this chat...here it was just his Chief of Staff. At first they claimed it was “war plans”...here it was strike details. Looks more like they were creating talking points...And Hegseth decides whats classified.
This is false. This is not classified or anything that should be classified. The Atlantic is rolling back it’s claims.
More Demonrat operations to attack Trump Admin & USA
“I don’t understand why any staffer had that jerk’s phone number.”
I don’t believe it, unless the staffer was a holdover from prior administration(s) — then maybe.
This had to have been a tech hack. Of ALL the journalists out there, it just HAPPENED to be the one of “Russia! Russia! Russia!” and “Trump called vets ‘suckers and losers’”, and other TDS lies to take out Trump.
This is what makes politics boring and predictable - this back and forth of accusations that the other party is lying.
America wants these losers to cut government and lower taxes and regulations and to finally improve education with secure borders. So enough with this nonsense.
There’s nothing in the released text that fall under war planning secret. They’re merely real-time updates on what was happening in theater.
“correct technically”
The best kind of correct
