SecDef shares US war Plan in Group chat

[Anonymous]

What we DON’T know is more concerning to me. How many calls, on how many devices, in how many countries have these morons participated in? How many other “mistakes” did they make?

just a few years ago, several members of that group chat criticized Hillary Clinton for using a private email server to conduct official business when she was secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who disclosed the war plans in the chat this month, condemned Mrs. Clinton’s actions during a Fox News segment in November 2016.

“Any security professional — military, government or otherwise — would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information,” he said.

Mr. Hegseth was also adamant that anyone engaging in similar acts should be summarily punished.

“People have gone to jail for one one-hundredth of what, even one one-thousandth of what Hillary Clinton did,” he said during a Fox Business segment that same month.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, another participant in the encrypted group chat, also voiced those sentiments in a Fox News appearance in 2016, when he was running for president.

“People are going to be held accountable if they broke the laws of this country,” he said. He added that “nobody is above the law, not even Hillary Clinton.”

Make them eat their words. Rubio’s above is perfect. Let’s get a go fund me going to install these as billboards across the states where these bozos hail from.

Yeah, I’ll chip in for billboards.

Me too.

Please.

The "breach" was that they accidentally included a journalist?

Ooopsie?

That's the ONLY way we know they were using a non-secure app for this discussion.

How many MORE times have they been using Signal for these types of discussions and for sharing highly classified, secure materials?

This was no "breach". This was the exposure of people at the highest levels of government, having no effing idea what they should be doing.

And why exactly was the US treasury secretary on this chat in the first place? Why did he need to know details of the attacks ahead of time?

Underrated comment.

This is beyond the pale. Congress has neutered themselves if they’re not outraged by this. It’s admitting that Congress is a rubber stamp. Let’s see what they do.

Ooopsie! Our bad.

Again - oopsie!

It was unintentional, people. We have no experience, knowledge or expertise. We will learn and do better next time.

It's not like we have been using Signal all along. This was the very first time we used it. Our damn bad luck we accidentally added a journalist to the chat.

We never added anyone else to any of the other chats, though.

Those emails from Hillary's private server originated at an unclassified State Department server. They were declared classified after the fact. At no point did she or any of her staff knowingly put classified information on an unclassified system.

It's not clear yet where the information that Hegseth was typing into his phone came from (which is why an investigation needs to happen) but it seems likely it came from a classified system.

Unconfirmed nominee Joe Kent texted on behalf of Tulsi Gabbard during the war plans.

Maga you are UnAmerican and utterly stupid to believe anything they say!

An unconfirmed nominee should not even be in the building. Never mind working. It violates the Constitution and the Senate prerogative to advise and consent.

Where do these people think they are working?

I’m hearing that career State Dept staff have already been forced to give briefings and onboarding for unconfirmed ambassador appointees.

So what? They’ll get confirmed eventually.

Signal is not subject to FOIA requests or the requirement/ability to be formally archived, right?

Right. They deliberately used an illegal communication method to avoid official record and FOIA requests.

Using Signal for classified exchanges is illegal.
Plus, one of the participants was literally inside the Kremlin when the chats were taking place, ergo, the Russians have the contents of his phone at that time.

This is a thousand times worse than anything Hillary or Hunter Biden did.

They don't all get confirmed. Congress has an advise and consent role. Sometimes Presidents nominate unacceptable people.

Waltz is trying to claim that Goldberg added himself to his phone and the group chat. Come on, man.

Did anyone catch this? Wild!

On March 14, 2025— 11 days before the published leak, Tulsi Gabbard wrote on X:

"Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such."

“Our nation's Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated.”

“Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no investigation or accountability. That ends now. We know of and are aggressively pursuing recent leakers from within the Intelligence Community and will hold them accountable.”
