Bullshit. I worked under SecDef Hagel.

That's why agency heads designate POC (points of contact) to act on their behalf. Those designated POC should have been the ones in a SCIF discussing and receiving the plans, not the agency heads on an unsecured public app like Signal.

Waltz even said when he started the Signal group: "Pls provide the best staff POC from your team for us to coordinate with over the next couple days and over the weekend. Thx."

Marco Rubio designated Mike Needham
Vance designated Andy Baker
Tulsi Gabbard designated Joe Kent
Scott Bessent designated Dan Katz
Hegseth designated Dan Caldwell
John Ratcliffe designated a goddamn active CIA officer by name

It is true that the US government does not have its own secure messaging system. But that's why you designate your POCs to act on your behalf when you are on travel. That information should then be disseminated back to the department head through proper secure channels using proper classification.

Now they Republicans are talking about how they are going to make sure proper protocols are in place blah, blah, blah. WE ALREADY BLEEPING HAVE THEM! You can create all the goddamn new protocols you want, but if those in charge aren't keen on following protocols, then what's the point? And that's the whole vibe of this admin: do whatever the F they want and damn the consequences. No one can stop them. No one can check them. They know this and that's exactly how they act. [/quote]
