Clown show
In addition to being completely unsecure, using Signal to text information instead of a government system violates federal record keeping laws.

Typical Trump reaction:
āI donāt know anything about it. Iām not a big fan of The Atlantic. Itās, to me, itās a magazine thatās going out of business. I think itās not much of a magazine. But I know nothing about it.ā

āI thought I was including Jeff Goldblum. Heās a smart mathematician who survived a horrible dinosaur attack in that documentary, and I thought this Yemen thing was pure chaos.ā

So, even r/conservative is having none of this. There are a few folks saying, basically, āfake news.ā But 90% of the responses are people saying this is bad. Bad because itās classified defense info. Bad because these coms need to be recorded for posterity. So bad that people need to be fired. Interesting.

This presidency is certainly off to a roaring start that absolutely nothing is public record.

Yeah, that was my first thought.
Republican members of the committee attempted to steer clear of the Signal group chat drama, the Democrats refused to let it slide. Democrat Senator Warner called it āsloppy, careless, incompetent behaviourā.
It led to a grilling of the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe - who both denied that there was classified information in the chat. Hereās what else we heard:
CIA director John Ratcliffe:
- He said heās not aware that any specific operational information on weapons, targets or timing was discussed in the group chat
- Ratcliffe also insisted that communicating via the Signal group chat was āpermissibleā
- Pushed on whether the incident was a āhuge mistakeā, he replies: āNo.ā
National Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard:
- Gabbard at first declines to confirm whether or not she was actually in the group chat
- She goes on to say there is a difference between āinadvertent releaseā and āmalicious leaksā of information ā following on from earlier comments she had made about the unauthorised release of classified information
As always is there any action they wonāt defend? It is pretty obvious the answer is no, there is no action they will not defend. So it is just a matter of time until they are blatantly murdering citizens en masse. It is not if, it is when.
Keep saying it loudly enough Pete and someone may believe you were not sharing sensitive information on Signal.
Trumpās DUI hire working out swimmingly.

I decided this issue was worthy enough for itās own thread, and split out the posts from another thread.

So the journalist didnāt publish the juicy bits, but since itās not classified, he should publish it all now, right?

That would seem to give him a pass. But he didnāt publish it, not because it was classified but because he determined publishing it would endanger lives. So I wouldnāt expect him to publish much more of it if any.

Yeah, that was kind of tongue in cheek.
We raised this point in the US/Canada thread.
Sensitive intelligence cannot be shared anymore with the US
