The new Dacia’s are nicer quality than the Teslas
You couldn’t make it up - Waltz going on the attack against the “low-life” journalist.
EDIT - & Hegseth.

And, a non-security cleared person as tech investigator:
"Waltz also said that he had spoken to Elon Musk, who is leading the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency and has touted himself as “tech support” for the federal government.
“We’ve got the best technical minds looking at how this happened,” Waltz continued, adding that Goldberg “wasn’t on my phone”."
I’m pretty sure if I accidentally added a WSO to one of my RAFAC group chats I’d be getting in more trouble than these guys are going to get in for this.
It’s a shambles. They shouldn’t be using Signal for anything sensitive. The US has spent billions on systems line JWICS, SIPRNet and NIPRNet which is what should be used for stuff like this.
Even normal day to day stuff shouldn’t really be done via anything third party when operating at that level.
Id get involved in the bants
Holy moly. The Atlantic has publichsed the whole chat because the Whitehouse has lied so much about them. Ballsy move.
This is madness.
Annnnnnd careers over
Honestly, I think not.
Every single person in that chat should know that this sort of thing should not be discussed on any third party platform. Yet I can’t see anyone getting in significant trouble over this. At best, an intern might be made to take a fall.
My biggest takeaway here is Trumps senior leaders complete contempt for Europe. We’re meant to be allies. Reading this, you wouldn’t think that.
Also, some massive irony, Pete talking about OPSEC in a bloody signal chat.
We are currently clean on OPSEC
Big lols.
Would love to be a fly on a wall in the white house today
I’m looking forward to 1400 when the security heads are getting questioned again.
Albeit, they’ll do what Trump’s team always does. Deny and lie. The press sec is already saying this new article is a hoax, even though senior members have already admitted the chat is real.
The Atlantic has played a blinder here. Gave them enough rope to either hang themselves, or be honest.
They hanged themselves
At least during Trumps last term he had some relatively sensible people around him to keep things in check. This time around he’s surrounded him self with actual idiots. No checks and balances. Signal-gate appears to may be a cracking example of that.
The most fascinating insight this has given me, assuming it was never intended to be seen, is that it gives me the first real glimpse into the actual minds of these people.
That’s how they talk when they’re not trying to convince us of anything.
Genuinely really interesting.
I would suggest that that strike timings & live after-strike reporting would count as high level classified information.
100%. Yet somehow the Whitehouse position on this is that there was no classified info in the chat. Are they just trying to gaslight the whole country?
Well, Miss Haw Haw has gone for the throat. No holds barred.
White House criticises Jeffrey Goldberg over new Signal messages - live updates - BBC News
Yes.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears”
