He has receipts, i.e., actual screen shots of the messages. He didn’t chase the story – – he was added erroneously to the chat. What don’t you understand about that?
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.
Stop gaslighting. This mistake could not have happened if they were following protocol. None of this should be on Signal or on personal phones or include someone who was in Moscow at the time or include stupid emojis or copy-paste top secret details from a secured source to an unsecured phone to be shared on a group chat.
The reporter should have identified himself immediately and waiting was wrong. The only reason he didn’t identify was to get a story and that is wrong.
Also let’s compare this to our former DOD secretary who didn’t let anyone know he was being treated with serious surgery is not even close. Liberal media was very very quiet on that. That was willful. This was a technology accident. The politics around here is tiring.
This is indefensible. I'm embarrassed for you.
What did you say when Secretary Austin was MIA? Yeah guessing nothing and again willful. There was almost no discussion of abandoning post and that he should step down by liberal media.
President as well but that was
his decision and he was allowed to make that decision. So I am willing to allow a mistake and am annoyed that a seasoned reporter kept quiet and didn’t identify himself. You have to wonder what same reporter would have done if it was Biden’s team. I can speculate that he would have identified himself.

Oh is this your narrative? GTFOH with that. He is a well known and respected journalist. And he has the messages. So even if what you say is true, that does not negate what happened here. And I notice you don't deny it.
But this is what happens when you appoint an inexperienced drunk to the SecDef position.

Trump officials have demanded more European military spending and questioned the continent’s values. Leaked messages show the depth of the rift.
rump administration officials haven’t kept their disdain for Europe quiet. But the contempt seems to be even louder behind closed doors.
Europeans reacted with a mix of exasperation and anger to the publication of parts of a discussion between top-ranking Trump administration officials, carried out on the messaging app Signal. The discussion, about a planned strike on Yemen, was replete with comments that painted Europeans as geopolitical parasites, and was revealed on Monday in The Atlantic, whose editor was inadvertently included in the conversation.
“I just hate bailing out the Europeans again,” wrote Vice President JD Vance, asserting that the strikes would benefit Europe far more than the United States.
“I fully share your loathing of European freeloading,” Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, later replied. “It’s PATHETIC.”

It's not Goldberg's fault that your bunch of morons added him to this war chat. Doesn't matter how you guys spin this one, your boys f&&ked it up royally.

If not, what would it take for people to do something? Another 9/11?

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.
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.).
They were obviously listening to the hearing.
It amazes how posters here feel NO responsibility to even news Google a single fact.
Ratcliffe said that, and provided zero evidence. The same Ratcliffe who already got caught trying to cover up a massive security leak and lying about its contents.

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.
Thie Military Times is not affiliated with the military and privately held. They also excused Secretary Austin so not necessary unbiased. Some people may think this is a military newspaper and it is not. When you hear prosecute for being on a government acceptable thread you have to step back and see who is saying this. Again these witch hunts are not good for the country. I cannot imagine being a politician today.
Right, it is it censored (to protect higher ups) like military communications are.
Much more credible.

unreal - you complaining about someone "being so partisan" hahaha
you know how this mistake wouldn't have happened? if they'd all been in one room together and not in a group text
Except...how do you put them all in one room together when it's a Saturday, some of them are in Washington while others are at Mar-a-Lago?
are you serious?
they all go to washington. or they all go to mar a lago. i'm sorry, did planning a war get in the way of your golf vacation?!

What a world you live in. I have a hard time believing you have served in any professional capacity. Perhaps as an assistant at a NGO. Teacher? War plans aren’t “teachable moments.” It’s obvious you have no background in security or defense. I cannot imagine what organizations you have worked in where the standards are so low.
