Who besides possibly that reporter thought it was a good idea?Well, involving a reporter in war planning is a brand new thing that some people might not think is a good idea.

Incompetence? Alcohol?
accusation released yesterday , intelligence leadership just happened to be in front of congress today for a hearing. how convenientWell, involving a reporter in war planning is a brand new thing that some people might not think is a good idea.
why did he wait so long before reporting it? seems like timing was important to him.Well, involving a reporter in war planning is a brand new thing that some people might not think is a good idea.
Someone that’s a democrat could have added the journalist also.Incompetence? Alcohol?
“War planning”…Well, involving a reporter in war planning is a brand new thing that some people might not think is a good idea.
First off i take any security breaches seriously and there has to be accountability if procedures were not followed.Someone that’s a democrat could have added the journalist also.
That reporter has a history of pushing fake news to attack Trump so you need to take what he says with skepticism.First off i take any security breaches seriously and there has to be accountability if procedures were not followed.
with that said this is a political masterpiece for the dems. Kudo's to them if they didnt add that name to an existing list then they definitely know how to maximize the benifs. I've always said the dems play the game much better than the repubs.
Ive seen too many of these in the past where this turned into nothing burgers once the facts come out so I'll wait for it all to come out.
in this case there clearly was a discussion of information on the chat that was not approved for release.
text chat took place weeks ago and the info just came out yesterday. right before the hearing today. Brilliant.
many of the questions in todays hearing cant be answered in an unclassified hearing which makes the repubs look evasive. brilliant move on the part of the dems.
i understand the signal app deletes messages immediately or over time which would make answering todays questions even tougher if you dont have it to reference. Did the reporter confer with dems to plan this new release knowing that since it allows them to make accusations that cant be verified.
Tulsi and radcliffe did a poor job answering the questions today and did not help their cause. It sounds like battle plans were discussed in general terms and they should have just fessed up if that is the case.
My concern here is you have gabbard and hegspeath in roles they're really not suited for and their inexperience may have jeoperdized our security and put our troops at risk. Again I'll wait for it all to come out before i pass final judgement.
congress should also pull in the reporter and ask him what steps he took once he had that information. who did he call did he confer with democrat leadership on the timing for releasing this story? if this information is or was classified then did he discuss it with anyone who did not have the security clearances or need to know. I understand he recieved it and was reading it while in a DC parking lot. pull his phone records and see who he called next.
i do on the details and thats what I'm waiting to see but the white house has admitted he was on the chat.That reporter has a history of pushing fake news to attack Trump so you need to take what he says with skepticism.
Obviously it was a screw up, thankfully nothing came of it in regards to the actual operation. That said, who added the reporter? Was it a malicious act by someone outside the chain? Is the signal app compromised? The Democrats are only interested in smearing the administration, not getting the truth. They are fundamentally against anything that doesn’t comport with their toxic ideology. The fact that this only came out just before the hearing leads me to think this was a set up.That reporter has a history of pushing fake news to attack Trump so you need to take what he says with skepticism.
the White House already said war plans weren't discussed. It was just a general chat over a supposedly secure network. There is another app that is more secure where they would discuss battle plans. They even mentioned switching to the other network to discuss details. The only important detail is who and why the reporter was added to the group. Whether it was accidental or malicious it should never happen.i do on the details and thats what I'm waiting to see but the white house has admitted he was on the chat.
ultimately this is a wonderful political weapon for the dems and they will beat the repubs senseless. Rebutting what was said would require releasing actual classified information which wont happen.
* meaning here being the real battle plans that would counter what the dems are saying*
that means the dems can manufacture accusations and the trump people will be limited on what they can provide to rebut it.
The Dems didn't complain about Signal when Biden was using it.Obviously it was a screw up, thankfully nothing came of it in regards to the actual operation. That said, who added the reporter?

yea i know but listening to the congressional hearing today did not give me a warm and fuzzythe White House already said war plans weren't discussed. It was just a general chat over a supposedly secure network. There is another app that is more secure where they would discuss battle plans. They even mentioned switching to the other network to discuss details. The only important detail is who and why the reporter was added to the group.

Just a nothingburger that will be used as a talking point to attack the Trump administration.
Nah, I've already figured a way out of this:When exposed for operational incompetence or embarrassed or attacked, simply respond with ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Take no responsibility.
They'll be no DOJ investigation into this matter.
They'll be no House investigation.
They'll be no Senate investigation.
Nobody will answer for this. I actually would be surprised if Waltz himself is even bounced off for this.
