This has to stay in the news - daily - repeatedly. Time to follow their "but her emails" playbook and do the same. Show how unserious these people are. What did they expect by putting in place unqualified people?
As a former Army Commo Chief, my job required the clearance to handle, see, hear, and send the most secret of communications. I held the encryption codes for a large network of telephone, radio, and satellite transmission. It was my responsibility to maintain the security necessary. I would probably still be in Leavenworth if I had pulled a stupid stunt like this in Desert Storm -- if Gen. McCaffrey hadn't skinned me already. These people are all buffoons! It's obvious. Trust?!? Ha! Nobody can trust them, let alone our allies --- if they still are allies. Everything Trump does eventually turns to this --- shit!
What’s the Trump’s admin’s calculated advantage for acting so dumb? Negligence isn’t a defense, so what gives? Just a way to communicate our top security defenses and offenses to other governments? If so, to what end? Restructured alliances? And the benefit here is…?
They can’t honestly be this dumb, regularly. Like transporting a few migrants in military craft… What else was in those crafts? And where did those crafts land?
I say everyone involved in sending and receiving these messages should resign or be fired. Unless of course they did something to stop the spread of info … hahaha ..no one did .. clean out the house, NOW
The details about normal procedures of communicating sensitive information reveal the level of sloppiness of treatment of vital information for our national security is by Trump and his cronies. This is reminiscent of the ‘storage’ of our nuclear secrets in "ballrooms, bathrooms, and storage closets” at Mar-a-Lago. But for protection by a clearly compromised Federal judge in Florida, this behavior would have resulted in conviction and likely imprisonment of the perpetrators — before the election. Thank you!
I hate to say it, but perhaps a greater security breach needs to happen for there to be a cry for accountability. As we speak certain members of the GOP are brushing this incident off.
It will take some of our soldiers getting killed, sadly. And then it will be blamed on Biden. These are sociopaths whose hearts were eaten by worms. Watch Trump's press conference on it from earlier today. It's as delusory as the "bleach" press conference from April 2020.
This incident underscores why we CANNOT afford to have totally unqualified people like Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel, and RFK Jr. running agencies that are tasked with protecting American lives. I just wrote my Senators to request a thorough investigation.
I just watched your podcast with The Bulwark- excellent interview!
This article plainly explains the consequences that this breakdown of ethics and protocol could have been. American service members, American families here and around the world will suffer if this administration is left unchecked.
I’m shaking in my shoes 👠 🥹right now because of the uncertainty that any of the inept, reckless officials involved will be demoted or replaced by this corrupt administration. God help us all…
Nice point about immaturity and poor impulse control. But I'll go you one more: it's a symptom of the pervasive hypo-manic profile of Trump and MAGA cultists. Aggression, grandiosity, increased appetite for impulse discharge, contempt for others, and triumphal arrogance. It's like putting toddlers at the wheel of a Tesla. Literally...
Only the best people! Ha! More like only the most inept people! Not only did they copy a journalist, they used an app, Signal-btw that is not secure, to communicate sensitive data.
Excerpt from headline article in today’s NYT regarding this incident:
Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, dismissed the idea of additional investigations or discipline for the officials involved. “I’m told they’re doing an investigation to find out how that number was included, and that should be that,” Mr. Johnson told reporters at the Capitol, referring to White House officials. “I’m not sure that it requires much additional attention.”

Great article! Brave patriot in your mom, and thank you for your dedication to what's right!
God bless!🇺🇲❤️🕊🙏

This administration is just a pile of shit!
I hope when the proposed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has his hearing that he is questioned very definitively on this issue.
💯
Thanks to one of my hero's

Nefarious shit here.
God save America!
Ever watch one of those stupid Trump MAGA rallies? MAGAts really enjoy their dumb crap. They thrive on it.
This is one of the top stories on Good Morning America. Let’s hope it gets some traction.

Great article . Maybe should stop worrying about about Tesla and pay attention to what’s happening at the pentagon

Did you see where the FBI/DOJ returned all the impounded MAGA Lago documents to Trump? A few weeks ago.

Looking forward to your discussion with JVL on The Bulwark Live this afternoon.

Olivia Troye, thank you for your bravery and sacrifice, in service to the United States, to the benefit of the American people.

IMO boils down to lack of impulse control, a symptom of the infantilism that pervades the Trump administration.
