Ratcliffe told the SSCI the Signal App had already been installed on the government phones used for this group chat, its reasonable to suspect the CIA could access and manipulate directory information.

quote:

According to Mike Waltz the name of a contact was mis-attributed to the telephone number of Jeffrey Goldberg. Waltz thought someone else (¹he will not say who) was in the chat group, but it was actually Goldberg. Waltz says his team and Elon Musk’s technical team are working through an investigative process to discover how that happened.


quote:

Let me summarize for those new to these performances: (1) The CIA tech team organized the Signal App operation (directory manipulation). That’s how Goldberg got in. (2) Jeffrey Goldberg held the story until the day before the scheduled SSCI hearing. (3) The SSCI uses the hearing to attack the Trump officials at the top of the critical silos.

Why? The CIA group doesn’t like the Trump Ukraine and Trump Russia policy.

[¹We may discover that somehow the name Marco Rubio was attributed to the phone number of Jeffrey Goldberg. Rubio was reportedly on the chat, but didn’t say anything.]

Apparently, Rubio congratulated the team after the bombing.

Eh, some pissed off staffer added the guy to the chat in an attempt to make the administration look bad... Same with removing Tuskegee Airmen in response to killing DEI, etc...

I've been wondering about this -- you come into one of these jobs and have all these people tell you what you can and can't do, where you're supposed to communicate, whatever. I guess you have to do as you're told, but it seems like everyone is basically controlled in that respect. I can actually see how someone like Hilldawg would want to do some things off the books. In this particular case, I wondered if this group wanted to communicate outside of NSA/CIA control using Signal. But, what we now know is it was authorized or even prepared for them. I don't know how you avoid all of the traps the deep state can set.

Certainly fits the pattern of one of their "dirty tricks" operations.

It’s fishy as hell that of all the writers to get added to a group thread it’s Jeffrey Goldberg.

Really you can't but you can expedite weeding out the crazies in the IC and LE communities, which is going to be the vast majority of those that have worked there for 20 years or more...

The entirety of the IC and LE communities in the Federal Government need to be razed to the ground...

In the original report everyone was identified by initials.

An MAR was in the chat.

Marco Antonio Rubio.

I believe that the screenshots clearly show a JG as part of the group.

Best way to handle this is to say, yeah we f'd up here, it won't happen again. Hegseth, Vance, et al will get pilloried either way, but owning the frick up will make it go away faster

And the story gets dropped right before a Senate hearing with US intelligence officials that were going to spend 4 straight hours detailing how the Democrats and Biden administration had basically let the country become a haven for terrorists.

It gave the Democrats senators a story to distract in the hearing.

Or… maybe it’s the obvious. somebody just screwed up
because they were negligent and not
being sufficiently careful.

Based upon what we know, that’s the most likely

It would also show some decent leadership. Finally.

Nah, given actions of the entrenched Deep State and the minions that support it that are actively working against the interest of the United States in the past and very recent past, the most obvious and likely is exactly what I stated...

Can you define or identify the “entrenched deep state” so that it’s a little less vague?

Exactly how I was thinking yesterday. I put emphasis on Rubio as well as suspicious, as he never participated in the chat.

Waltz started the chat group. It is said Waltz's screenname in Signal-- added Goldberg as a contact before this episode.

So an aide using Waltz's screen name, or Waltz himself?

Then add in that the convo itself shows Waltz as a neoconservative. A mole neocon would have a lefty media contact to do mole things.

It sounds like the CIA/NSA, as they got two convoluted directives accomplished. Show the neocon of Waltz to confuse making it political enraging MAGA.... but the objective is to stain Trump in a scandal with Hillary posting the Atlantic article before anyone sipped a cup of coffee.

too bad the board won't ban anybody who went rabid over it

We should play "What's going to be the big nothing next week game?"

They have to get H1B's involved.

Nope. Just a mistake. And after reading more on it, Hegseth wasn't really at fault. He was using whatever was set up for him. Whoever invited the journalist, knowing there could be classified info on it, is the one who will be punished.

The end.
