Gabbard, Ratcliffe ‘lied repeatedly’ about Signal chat messages, Bennet says
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | March 30th, 2025 | Tara Suter

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) said on Sunday that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe “lied repeatedly” about messages in a Signal group chat in which top members of the Trump administration discussed an attack on Yemen.

“Intelligence officials told your committee this week that no classified information was shared. Do you believe that directors Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee?” NBC News’s Kristen Welker asked Bennet on “Meet the Press.”

“No, I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee. Kristen, let me try to make this as simple as I can,” Bennet replied. “I think the American people know this. If this material was not classified, literally nothing that I’ve ever heard as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee over all these years is classified.”

Not for the first time in our history, both the DNI and CIA Director perjured themselves before both houses of Congress.

What makes this time different is the entire National Security Team used a non-secure, unauthorized platform to discuss classified information. Technically, that a felony on all of them.

UNLESS they had explicit permission from POTUS for the behavior.

This mess will not go away.

Signalgate is a coordinated psyop that Democrats call the “Wrap-Up Smear” tactic.

1. Tell lies about your political opponents.
2. Have the press report the lies as if they were true.
3. Use the press reports as validation of your lies.

It has been an open secret for decades that Goldberg is a Mossad/CIA agent. He began as a prison guard at Ktzi’ot Prison, an infamous Israeli institution known for torture of inmates.

Signal is a US “intelligence community” spy app with their personal back door built-in. They used it to intercept Oath Keepers Signal messages to prosecute them. There is only one way that happened.

The people who left the borders wide open for decades, to tens of millions from God knows where, aided, abetted, offered prizes, gifts, cash, food, housing all of it.

But now they’re concerned with national security issues.

Sure pal.

I’m old enough to remember when Michael Bennet didn’t say one word about senile Joe Biden.

The release of Secret information will cause damage to the nation.
The release of Top Secret information will cause grave damage to the nation.

Can anyone identify any actual damage, grave or otherwise? Can anyone produce a relevant document that contains classification markings?

Because, you know, some guy having some sort of opinion that “they shouldn’t have said that” is not the same as actually dealing with classified material.

Not quite sure how this conclusion is drawn.

The items discussed were not being read from a document with Classified stamped on it. Description of what was used for the attack would be past tense and likely so new as information that no original authority had declared it classified.

Stuff is not classified by virtue of its content. It has to be declared classified to be classified. If that material had not yet been declared as such, then no one lied.

As much as people keep screaming it is, it was NOT classified.

Unfortunately this dweeb doesn’t get to have the final determination on what is classified. With the SECDEF clearly communicating OPSEC into the conversation he is giving the clearance that the information is UNCLASSIFIED. The “guidance” is the information is classified. BUT - the Senator doesn’t get to make the determination. SECDEF stated the communication was UNCLASSIFIED. Case closed! Now, whoever put the journalactivist on the chain needs to have their head on the platter.

Autopen Joe Biden was the Mount Everest of National Security issues for 4 years.

Yet Michael Bennet and The Gaslight Media had no problem with that.

Bennett can shut his lying gob.

It was sensitive material. Classified? That’s not up to Bennet to decide.

You are wrong, and this isn’t news it’s propaganda, which you are buying hook, line & sinker.

Well, you certainly seem to be chomping at the bit to lock them all up. Go on. Go ahead. I’ll give you a head start.
