Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

To even pretend that this stuff that Secdef sent was ok and not the highest classification since it came BEFORE the attack and was clearly referring to certain intelligence sources is insane and clearly a lie. Defend this if you want, but you can’t defend with any credibility

There is no defending this. Spin as hard as they might, at the end of the day, EVERY Dems in office need yell, scream, and make it know that they will "protest vote" NO on all future GOP-led bills until these people are fired. Our nation's security demands it. Our country it. We demand it.

No one, besides the usual idiots, believe that this was not a clearly gross military intel leak. Yet this republican adm is at full speed to gaslight and pivot the hell out of it, and I tell you that it will work as it has worked the past 10 years.

The problem is that Trump gish gallops scandals so we can't focus on every one. If this were a Democrat administration, this would be the worst scandal and the GOP wouldn't stop talking about it for years. Trump will do something worse within a week.

Yes and - Democrats & press need to stop taking that bait. First thing I said was “I can’t wait to see what awful thing they do to get everyone to stop talking about this.” Ignore the next distraction. We have to learn to stay focused. MAGA has much better messaging coordination & discipline.

What's Title 18:Code 2381 Part I: Crimes, including assault, arson, and counterfeiting Part II: Criminal procedure Part III: Prisons and prisoners Part IV: Juvenile delinquency Part V: Witness immunity §1030: Covers fraud and related activity involving computers. TREASON

But. They don’t give a f..k. About rules, regulations, laws, they are fascists and probably a little stupid. I don’t understand why Americans don’t organize mass demonstrations? Why are they ok with the democracy being destroyed? It’s so scary watching from Europe how USA becomes a fascist state.

Yes I did. But I am not sure if there will be any consequences. It is like in a dystopian movie. And we fear that Trump will trade us in Europe with Putin. They have the same fascist and geopolitical thinking.

There is no defense. Hegseth is a total looser drunkard and it shows every time he opens his mouth and also apparently his texting too. Such a tragedy for our country , these bozos don’t even try to be professional.

Republicans have proven they care nothing about credibility or actual patriotism, only raw unchecked power. The Republican Party exists only as a crime family doing the bidding of their chosen mob boss, Donald J Trump. There is no honor among the thieves and traitors of the GOP.

I swear they're going to end up blaming the screw up on Goldberg. Probably prosecute him. Probably say he tricked them somehow. This administration lies -- it's what they do. All they gotta do now is come up with a wild ass insane function just plausible enough for MAGA morons to swallow whole.

Thank you for continuing to provide your informed perspective. That context is not known to many, and makes clear the seriousness of the breach in the face of the administration's attempt to downplay this as "accidents happen".

They’ll look you in the face and lie like rugs. I think they’ve taken lying lessons from the Trumpanzee. They figure if they say it long enough and loud enough everybody including the Democrats in Congress will believe them but they haven’t had enough practice like their boss has to pull that off

As bad as it is (& it is for sure), isn't it a bigger issue to figure out how many classified conversations they've had on an app that auto deletes messages?? Where is the culpability and accountability?

So ironic that when the MAL docs case was ongoing, I remember hearing how "overly classified" everything was so the idea that this critical information was not classified at all is silly. Also, if sensitive military information about a strike isn't classified, what the hell would be? Blatant lies.

Rump: I don’t know anything about this, it was Biden’s fault and Hillary’s emails that started all this ( that I know nothing about). Hegseth? I hardly know the guy. And still, NOTHING will be done and no consequences!

JUDAS: Okay, guys. We're going to have a group dinner and then go for a walk in the garden.  GAIUS: 👍 MAXIMUS: 👊🦅🔥 BRUTUS: How will we know which one is our target? JUDAS: I'll give him a kiss. MAXIMUS:  GAIUS: Whatever works. SIMON PETER: WTF, Judas?! (Sent from Signal)

Say it loud, say it often, say it relentlessly brook no argument from the these reckless, careless, INEPT, unfocused, unprofessional & absolute incompetents they are 100% WRONG. let them whine till the cows come home and try to throw sand, They cannot CANNOT be allowed to get away with this.

FOX, Dir. of CIA Ratcliff & MAGA leadership/talking heads are all saying this breach of SCIF protocol & dissemination of military intelligence is no big deal. Seems like a VERY big deal to me, putting our airmen, soldiers & seaman in great danger. These eedjits in an unsecured chat should be fired.

Do we remember the "But Her Emails" whiners? Hillary's emails are NOTHING compared to this. A private server in a FORMER PRESIDENTS home. Who had S Clearance an well as herself. This is something we shouldn't let go of. Trump's picks are unfit for office just like him. We are NOT SAFE under them.

Well stated! Any current Allie needs to pivot immediately from disclosing information to the US government, especially when it comes to their own national security. The EU needs to do a complete 180 on the US regarding Ukraine as they’re on the doorstep with Russia.

During my time in German army (Electronic Warfare), we had S2 officers, who were testing soldiers in EMC. They put a USB-Stick with S2 written on the floor and watched, what the soldiers are doing with it. Every single soldier I met knew pretty well, that this is classified. These crooks here don't.

List: Skunk-hair Tulsi Drunk-azz Hegseth Mike Waltzing around the truth Blond bot Barbie/karoline Leavitt Why were WH momma Susie & evil Stevill Miller in that chat anyway?

I wonder if Congress (or reporters using FOIA) could obtain the Army & DOD records for the mandatory training taken by Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, etc. on the handling of classified information, electronic security, information warfare, etc A quick way to prove they were lying through their teeth.

Pam Bondi won’t charge anybody. She’s too busy going after people that light Teslas on fire and she still has that “lock her up” file from Trump’s first term sitting in an inbox that needs to get worked. A pardon on the way out is going to save her freedom but why isn’t she being disbarred?

And now we know for sure that Gabbard and Ratcliffe perjured themselves in front of the Senate yesterday. Now she's trying to say she "misremembered" in the House hearing. In Gay Land we would say to that stupid lie: "QUEEN, PLEASE."

I think I can speak for every Republican in Congress when I say that we will happily defend it without fear of loss of credibility, because we have none to lose. As the saying goes, "Sometimes, nothing can be a real cool hand."

They don't care about credibility. They care about POWER. Strutting incompetence and carelessness with NO consequences shows their power. They protect the boss, and the boss protects them. THAT is the message in all this. Even the power to LIE and "shape reality" as they do, shows their power.

Until the Rep party in House and Senate step up and do their jobs with as much enthusiasm as they shower the administration with unconditional praise we are going to be in very big trouble. It's just unfathomable

Supporting this coup IS their job. They now work for the party, not the people. The sooner we understand this, The sooner we can address it. And we need to make it very widely understood before midterms, even before the April 1 special elections

The fact that nothing meaningful will happen is infuriating. Even if they resign, that's all it'll be. No real investigation or what would be warranted charges. They're lawless because they know they can be without real consequence.

Seriously, do MAGA and their red hat army even care about actual credibility? Their whole RWM ecosystem is whitewashing the whole thing as we speak, and isn’t that credible enough for them?

We did a ton of TS intel transfer for specops when I was in the Navy but the Crypto was Milspec and TS was eyes only, and not some off the shelf app that anyone could get. This stuff is really unbelievable, and heads should roll. I do not get the US these days. It's a fucking clown show.

A true American would have turned down the SoD position knowing they themselves were wholly unqualified. True Americans want what’s best for our country, not prestige for themselves

Never forget that Trump & company follow Cohn's 3 rules: Number one: attack, attack, attack. Number two: admit nothing and deny everything. And rule number three: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.
