Except this is not about a journalist.

The only story here is the reckless disregard the principals committee has for our national security.


+1 If you want to prosecute the journalist for "breaking the law" by remaining on a chat that he didn't ask to be added to and which wasn't marked in any way as "classified" go ahead. I think that would be a hard case to make.

But it would be worth it, because it would be impossible to prosecute the journalist without prosecuting DUI hire Hegseth, VP Vance, Stephen Miller, Sec State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, DNI head Tulsi Gabbard, NSA head Waltz and all the other people on that thread that broke several laws on national security, records management as well as protocols on troop safety by planning a war on a commercial platform. One guy was in Russia while he was on the chat. Lord knows what they pulled from the phone.


Right. Someone who receives classified information who is not cleared is not in trouble. The people with clearances that did are.


Bring on the prosecution. Prosecute them all...they'll slap the journalist on the wrist if anything, because how tf was he to know what crazy chat he'd been added to...but the other ones, they've broken at least 3 federal laws.


Pam and Kash are right on it!

Oh wait


Pam’s stressing over Elon. Elon is under siege. Poor thing

She can’t focus on two problems


Wait, who is pam?

Attorney General Pam Bondi

He also could have done what I have done at work when I have received something I should not receive and that is to contact someone and say I believe I received this by accident. No he is thinking he will get a book or a million speaking engagements. I am sure also exaggerating as well. Sad.


Why don't you apply that reasoning to the actual natsec people on the chat?


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 are profoundly ignorant about the government, national security, and government rules and protocol. This is not at all like getting the wrong number in your thanksgiving dinner group text invite.



Goldberg thought he was being targeted by Project Veritas or someone similar because the premise that he was on a classified group text was so ludicrous!

Shame on these sick attack politicians called Democrats. We see today how they make up whatever they want. Shame, shame, shame.

Really a shame that the Ukrainian army has killed all of the talented Russian trolls and this is what we’re left with.


That is gallows, but it made me guffaw.

And don't you think the public has a right to know that this serious gaffe occurred, and that this speaks to the level of competence of the government, and don't you think the public should be aware of the level of competence of your leaders?

I see it that the journalist was doing his job. We, you, should want to know this is happening.



Because they are fascists, who demand that you ignore the evidence of your own eyes. It's the only way they can hold on to power. What they lack in intelligence, knowledge, and competence, they make up for with deception, arrogance, cruelty. Boys with their toys.

As White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "Terrorists were killed and that's what matters most to President Trump,". He doesn't care about security breaches. He doesn't care about counter-attacks. What matters most is just killing people.

So interesting that apparently Signal is the messaging that was approved for CIA use from previous administrations. Senator attempted to downplay this. I hate when you have to listen ten times to get what is actually the trust. The reality is that moving forward you can’t use anything that has initials which can be accidentally put in. The big story should be why this reporter said nothing immediately. Most people would have said something if only you don’t want to hear something you are not allowed to hear.

Why are these people sharing secret military communications with the radical leftist terrorists at the Atlantic?

Waltz must be deported to El Salvador immediately!




That would be interesting. Particularly if they deny Waltz of due process.

Hegseth is the one who added number of planes and positions, which is much worse than adding the wrong number. That’s classified info.

+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

How about making this decision to get around records laws?


The Military Times newspaper has already pointed out that the yahoos on the group chat broke several laws. This is very clear. Prosecute Hegseth, Vance, Waltz, Gabbard, Miller, Wiles and co. We're waiting.

I subscribe to that failing magazine. Jeff Goldberg will probably get a Pulitzer for his reporting.


+1. If he doesn’t deserve one, who does. Especially since this was ethical reporting. Waiting to publish until US troops were safe, redacting the name of the covert operative (something Trump couldn’t be bothered to do with the JFK papers), describing war plans in a high level, general way and not publish specifics. Publishing once it was safe to do so, and not waiting two years to publish it in a tell all book.

This is Watergate and Pentagon Papers level reporting.


+1 I'm impressed with him and the Atlantic. They really did everything right here. There were a lot of things he could have done that would have made him more attackable...


I listened to an interview with him. He was very careful about what he told the interviewer about what he read on the chat, expressing discomfort several times with revealing sensitive information (apparently the chat contained specific war plans and names of CIA agents). Notably, he took himself off the chat after the strikes on the Houthis occurred and he realized the whole thing wasn't actually a prank or scam of some sort. And he contacted several WH officials to inform them of the fact that he had inadvertently been included in the chat.

MAGA is just annoyed that these clowns got caught in the act and were publicly embarrassed by Goldberg. Some "patriots"!


Those patriots were sending around emojis with communications that could have gotten American soldiers killed. Unbelievable. And the GOP just shrugs.


It's OK. People are saying that any American soldiers who are killed were radical leftist DEI queer black women.

It's not that interesting. I do government work in the security area and certain texting apps are approved for work as long as we aren't transmitting CUI or above. We use it for work discussion, travel coordination, contact communication, etc.

But that isn't what they were talking about here, is it?

Waltz was on the Hill for 6 years. They spend half their time on the phone with donors and the other half of their time gossiping with journalists & lobbyists. This is literally the life of every Hill creature.

Please cite to your information that the CIA approved signal as a messaging app for classified info (except maybe for agents undercover and in the field in remote areas without other more secure means of communication to report imminent threats— which was not the case here.).
