SecDef shares US war Plan in Group chat

It’s been over 24 hours and that’s the best you can come up with?

Really? Didn't he just accept responsibility and say it was his error like an hour ago. Is he a DUI hire like Hegseth?

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.


And the after the fact classification was ridiculous. Not actual classified intel or documents, but things like the Secretary of State’s staff internally discussing a New York Times article about drone strikes and telling the Secretary whether it was accurate, which they knew from classified sources, though no sources or details were named or alluded to in the emails.

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.


Do you hear yourself? If that’s your take, why even bother with Congress? We can save a lot of $$ by DOGEing them if they’re just rubber-stamping sycophants.

I thought someone upthread said he’d admitted it was him. I guess that was fake news. This is an unbelievable take. Just lies, lies, lies. They are probably used to gaslighting their spouses so have practice.

What happened to returning to the office? Wouldn't this have been the kind of discussion that called for a meeting-- at the office?

Waltz is "taking responsibility" in his MAGA way. He is "responsible" for what had occurred, but he will spend his time discussing why the journalist he added is a big jerk. Even though he doesn't know this journalist at all, despite having his personal cell number in is phone. Because of course Waltz doesn't leak to the press. No sir. Not at all.

National security adviser Mike Waltz said Tuesday that he is taking “full responsibility” for the inclusion of a journalist in a group chat discussing war plans.

But first, he trashed The Atlantic editor who was included in the chat, denied any knowledge of how it happened and promised that Elon Musk would investigate along with other Trump administrators.

It seems very likely this is the tip of the iceberg and there are probably security breaches left and right. There will probably be a lot more too as this seems to be the most incompetent administration in history. They will fulfill a lot on the rwnj wish list, but break a whole lot more.

It's been a tough day for Karoline. Even a GOP Congressman said she was "full of baloney."

“Allegations “— of something something by unnamed sources. Wow! PP, that sounds so detailed and so convincing!

But my more pressing question is about the “stark disparity in accountability “ apparently because “Clinton faced no criminal charges”. Hmmm. But Hegseth’s Heroes haven’t faced any actual “accountability “ yet. If you think the lack of criminal charges for Clinton represents a “stark disparity “ — then it would follow from your comments that Hegseth, Vance, and the other highly placed folks on the chat SHOULD face criminal charges, since it’s only when they actually face criminal charges that a “stark disparity in accountability “ will be apparent. So, PP, we unexpectedly agree on something. Criminal charges and appropriate penalties for everyone on that call. Well, except Goldberg, who is definitely the hero in this mess.

Because who among us as National Security Adviser, doesn't have journalists who cover in our phone contacts, even though we have no idea who they are. Even though they are jerks. It makes perfect sense Mike.

You know, Trump said exactly this to reporters this afternoon. Which is pretty funny, considering that Waltz, Miller and Rubio were all at Mar-a-Lago on March 15 in order to help Trump put taxpayer dollars directly into his own pocket.

That was ironic, even though Trump didn't realize it. Tulsi Gabbard was in India when the chat was going on as part of her "multi-nation tour", for what purpose, God only knows, but she gave a speech praising Hinduism while she was there. Trump envoy Witkoff was in Russia with Putin, presumably washing Putin's car.
