It does seem they are struggling to come up with a narrative on this one. They mostly seem to be hoping that their people ignore it. Given the noticeable absences from the thread, it is at least partially working.
My point is that their actions are not necessarily nefarious behavior to avoid public scrutiny. I think it's more likely just laziness/incompetence and the belief that the rules of national security don't apply to them because they (unfortunately correctly) think no one will hold them accountable if caught.
How do you accidentally loop some random journalist into a (supposedly) classified group chat? What am I missing, here?
Trump commonly uses the same app. Thinks VP is for J.D. Vance and wonders how Vlad is always a step ahead of him.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the Press Secretary would lie about the situation. Yet again, they rely on the fact that other people will continue to play by the rules. I hope Goldberg calls their bluff and releases the entirety of the text chain. If the administration isn't going to take national security seriously, then a public example needs to be made for everyone to see. Although it's safe to assume if Goldberg does release the full text chain, they'll immediately move to prosecute him for jeopardizing national security.
the adults are charge now! Karoline Tariffs are Tax Cuts Leavitt now suddenly thinks she can recognize facts? cute
You feel confident about that? That would mean the people involved who have given conflicting stories and lies are actually telling the truth about there not being attack plans discussed and the journalist made up only this part while telling the truth about the rest (keep in mind the administration has admitted that the chat was real and the journalist was included). At 11:44 a.m., the account labeled “Pete Hegseth” posted in Signal a “TEAM UPDATE.” I will not quote from this update, or from certain other subsequent texts. The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East, Central Command’s area of responsibility. What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.
False. But it is nice to see you here now that you have your marching orders and decided to wade in on this. The messages contained what weapons were to be used, who was to be targeted, and the sequence of attacks.
Watch the claim will be:" there were no war plans because we obviously have not declared war on Yemen". LOL This as opposed to the active war declared on the non-nation and non-government of a random Venezuelan street gang. So just so we're all certain.... ICE is actually at war but the pilots bombing Yemen are absolutely not. Maga is so full of Trump their eyes are brown.
