He doesn't need to exaggerate when he has screenshots. |
If people are misbehaving in this way, we should know. |
And his source John Kelly has confirmed that on the record multiple times. |
He is a freaking journalist. This is a gold mine for him. He has walked a very fine line and done it with class. If only the national security principals we have right now had a small fractious of the professionalism of the reporter. |
People have been guessing the USTR Jameson Greer. |
Oh right. Out of everything here, this is the problem. Mmmhhhm. Right. Excuse me Mr. VP, I have taken a wrong turn and will kindly see my way out of this funny business, er nothingburger convo, among you fine fellows. |
But why? What the heck does the USTR have to do with the Houthi small group? |
Why don't you apply that reasoning to the actual natsec people on the chat? |
+1 Chatting about this on Signal - very very very bad Mistakenly adding a reporter to Signal/no one being aware of who was in the chat generally - very very very bad Adding operational details like locations, timing, positions of military personnel to the chat - the goddamn worst |
Trade is affected by the Houthis actions in the Suez Canal which is what the attacks were trying to fix. But agree that no USTR would be in the sit room for the operational decisions and that is where this discussion should have been. We’ve all heard “this meeting could have been an email,” this chat absolutely should have been a meeting. |
I stand by what I said. We live in a world where this kind of mistake can happen and you learn from it. I have definitely received emails and sometimes emails at the bottom say if you received by accident you need to erase and contact sender. I have done this and can even recall a time someone said something I didn’t appreciate and it was an awkward call. The dumb thing is this reporter could have done this and built a reputation as a stand up person instead of being so partisan. |
![]() you know how this mistake wouldn't have happened? if they'd all been in one room together and not in a group text |
You clearly haven’t read the article, and you should before you compare this to anything you’ve experienced in your own life. |
So you don’t want to know about the fact that our govt is discussing classified war plans on unsecured group chats? That isn’t important to you? It is the stand up journalist’s to bring that information to the public. |
