I didn't do this either.

Do you realize that you're so frazzled by the current administration making a mistake that you are behaving hysterically and erratically?

That is just a snippet of the conversation. What it does show is that the reporter was actually in the group chat and there was real time discussion of the launch of the first wave of planes.

I don't think this release adds or takes away anything of substance.

You could be right. I just assumed it would be a very straightforward investigation that could be done in minutes.

The actual texts are from several (9?) days ago. The fact that Goldberg sat on them until just before a Senate hearing where Gabbard and Ratcliffe were scheduled to testify under oath raises eyebrows.

From the information I've seen, only his initials appeared in the group chat.

I just went to a group I'm in on Signal and tapped the plus sign to add a member. My contacts appeared under the same names I saved them as in my phone contacts list. BUT the person can change how their name appears in the app. So you would have to select the name from your list of contacts but the contact may have their name appear as only initials in the app. I hope that makes sense.

Just his initials.

The only innocent POSSIBLE explanation I have heard was that the staffer included the wrong "JG" from a contact list. That was just speculation, though.

Update. The content has been released
so people can decide for themselves.
It’s pretty specifics about weapons, timing and locations. You can call it mission plans, attack plans, whatever you choose…


right...and even still...signal doesnt archive chats and if a chat isn't classified its supposed to be archived....FOIA

I should have stressed that was just some expert's SPECULATION about what might have happened.

China likely knows a lot about our carrier ops but knowing when and where to expect the carriers before a strike is a spicy meatball and will help them with war gaming and ultimately help them with the carrier killing missiles.


This is silly. China has satellites. They know the range of our planes. They don't need to know the time of an attack in a different country to figure that out.

People freaking out over this are being ridiculous. It was a minor mistake with no negative repercussions other than having to listen to dumbasses agree with a known liar with severe TDS.

All of you people know the deep state is fighting Trump and everything you value, but too many just can't help grabbing that red meat the enemy keeps dangling in front of them. This whole story was to create division and destroy faith in the administration. And too many fell for it hook, line, and sinker like always.

We're in a war and you people are too eager to attack the only people trying to make a difference. It's pathetic.

well, either someone added him on purpose or they did it on accident.

seems like they need to all get in a room together and make sure they are who they say the are on Signal.

Just admit the frick up in its entirety and move on. People will forget about it by Saturday afternoon if you do that. Denials, casting aspersions engaging in fanciful conspiracy theories, needlessly keeps it in the spotlight and gives people like Goldberg attention

[b]. . . the administration should downplay, make fun of Goldberg and move on quickly, and then quietly take serious action internally . . ./b

The first is SOP for the WH and the second won't happen as Trump is more likely to pardon rather than punish the screw ups.

Spin it anyway you like but know this, it was a MAJOR eff up by people who at a minimum should have a staff that knows better if not themselves.

I have zero confidence in any of them that this won't happen again.

I’ll start a Luigi Mangione thread for you.

Thanks, 10Wheels for a reminder about the bigger picture.

When I get accused of being anti-Trump for pointing things out, I tend to get my dander up.
