Oh this upside down Trump world. NSA officials fired, but not Signal-and-Gmail-using Waltz.

The director and the No. 2 official at the National Security Agency were ousted from their positions Thursday, according to a defense official and three sources with knowledge of the matter.

It was not immediately clear why Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh and his deputy were dismissed, the sources said.

The White House National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night.

Haugh was both the head of U.S. Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency, a role he had served in since February 2024. Deputy NSA Director Wendy Noble was the agency’s senior civilian leader.

He deserves it (not saying that Hegseth and the others on the Signal chat don’t). Any other Fed would have been fired and security clearance gone for behaving like they did under a normal administration.

We were told many times that it didn’t matter, and was no big deal. Has that changed?

Republicans = Party over country
Especially the current trash administration.

Wow, someone (or someones) really has it in for him.

Even Fox has confirmed it.


NSC confirms Mike Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communication

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nsc-confirms-mike-waltz-staff-used-gmail-government-communication.amp

The National Security Council (NSC) has clarified reporting about National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and his staffers using personal Gmail accounts for government communications.

A report published by the Washington Post on Tuesday claimed that one of Waltz's senior aides used Gmail "for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict," according to the piece.

"While the NSC official used his Gmail account, his interagency colleagues used government-issued accounts, headers from the email correspondence show," the Post reported.

Waltz is an embarrassment. He's got to go.

The most disturbing thing about the signal chat was the celebration around collapsing a building full of civilians to get one mid level terrorist.

Too bad it isn't Hegseth, too.

I doubt it. Stories say that Trump wasn't mad at Waltz about using signal. He was only mad that he was communicating from someone from the Atlantic (aka the liberal media). Breaking laws isn't a problem for Trump. Laws are for the little people.

Well, partly because Trump doesn’t know what Signal is. He probably knows what Gmail is. Maybe.

Yes, Waltz is going to go. But Hesgeth is destroying his career bit by bit, mistake by mistake. It's just going to take him a little longer to flame out.

Lutnick might be out before him. Or maybe of Lutnick and Waltz and Hesgeth, one of them will break the dam and lead the way.

Nah. Lutnick will be fired when the Trump tariff plan goes horribly wrong and they need a scapegoat to blame it on.

MAGA come and explain why you are not complaining about this????
Come on down?/

National Security you know that important thing and clearly your boys suck at it.

You know no one is going to get fired. Just standard Republican dysfunction.

I don’t think anyone looks good here. And as long as DUI hire Hegseth is around, it will be hard for anyone in the military to feel like someone has their back.

Clearly you haven’t been paying attention. There is zero accountability in this administration.

According to the article, Trump doesn't want the liberal media to be able to claim a scalp. So any scandal big enough to fire anybody is going to have to be scooped by Fox News.
