Pete Hegseth, Trump Dept of Defense nominee…

[n_huffhines]

Maybe I’m behind bc I’m on vacation but wasn’t it verified that Walz added him? Then Walz acted like he doesn’t know the guy??? Again apologies if I’m wrong and behind; been driving for the past two days

IDK that part

 

[lawgator1]

Actually Walz himself said that's it was not a staffer and took full responsibility...

Ok, thanks.

 

[05_never_again]

Because all that would allow him to do is print another story sourced by anonymous people, he's famous for those fabricated stories. This time he would have hard documented proof.

But what does that do for Waltz (or someone on his staff who added him)? How does that person benefit?

No Who, What, Where or When?

Could all have been hypothetical.

Did you read? It was obviously when and what and how.

I stated this before, it doesn’t have to be a complete picture to be classified.

 

[GroverCleveland]

I would have thought that IF it was caused by a staffer error we'd have heard that quite some time ago. That it is floated now is ..... odd.

Heard it about an hour after the news broke. What Monday or Tuesday morning?

Bottom line: Jeffery Goldberg will never be in on any information going forward. He will be persona non grata.


LOL

For classified info??

Or is that omitted on purpose in your post.

What does keying a Tesla do for those people? Crazy or overly emotional people aren’t typically thinking things through.

If Wong added Goldberg to the chat, why did he have access to log into Mike Waltz's Signal account?

An emotional release because they are psychotic. It's crazy, but they derive some "benefit" from it.

I don't understand what benefit, a crazy one or not, Waltz or a staffer of his gets from leaking that.

On what planet is this unclassified?

No planet we’re living on.

I would say your idiotic statement that a war plan includes everything but where the war is going on as troublesome.

This position assumes the Houthis wouldn’t know where their own assets were.

If the Houthis knew an attack from F-18s was coming in 1 hour, which do you believe they would be most likely to “move”?

a. Their Weapons
b. Their Food Stores
c. Their Monopoly Boards

Hillary was using a normal e-mail server in her house for classified. This was an encrypted app used for non-classified information.

Agreed. Inexcusable.

This was an encrypted app used for non-classified information.

Then why was it being used for classified info?

Irrational satisfaction at sticking it to Trump.

 

[LouderVol]

Its a strange thing here because generally I would say these things are classify but than if you actually see that the military is routinely giving the news opsec material beforehand over the last 30+ years... what is the big deal now? (see Iraq I, Iraq II, Afghanistan, etc)

I had my popcorn all read for Iraqi in 2003... it wasn't secret to anyone. Now all of a sudden its a problem.

that all got cleared BEFORE it went to the news. that is the difference. it was purposefully released AFTER it had been reviewed and approved to be shared.

surely you see a difference between a group chat between cabinet members and a press conference in front of the media.

That's cutting off their nose to spite their face. They work for Trump. It makes no sense

 

[Majors]

Any rational person that has ever held a security clearance knows that they screwed up. They think people are stupid because they are the government and don't want to admit fault.

People are stupid, 81M voted for a guy in a basement.

 

[Majors]

Trump Adm: The attack on Houthis was a great success
Biden Adm: Afghanistan withdrawal one of the greatest military failures and the big guy had DEMENTIA

Leftist: attack Trump

It’s a new found integrity they are testing out.

Like him or not, the journalist showed a great deal of constraint and wisdom by waiting until the operation was concluded to release his piece. We live in a world where the first one to tweet information gets all the glory.

Constraint and wisdom isn’t how I’d describe taking screenshots of that conversation.

You’re right, every journalist learns early in school that information gathering (especially when it is dropped in your lap via a huge amount of incompetence by a nation’s military/intelligence leaders) is frowned upon.

It was just 400 or so classified docs, and only 4 other nations hacked it. It was mainly wedding plans anyway !!!
