Interesting but I doubt anything will happen.

I don’t see how they don’t get out of this without a head rolling.

I’m really looking forward to the dancing on this one.

Comedy gold.

Someone will. I may be a junior level however.

Somehow the fact that they were using this against rules, etc. will be justified.

"Of course, this is different from Sec Clinton"

"No, Sec Hegsweth and President Trump talking about people who leak classified documents does not apply here. That is only for people who INTENTIONALLY do it"

etc.

There’s no point in firing anybody even for the optics, unless it’s Waltz.

There seems to be unanimity among the people on the chat that this type of thing should be criminally prosecuted.

Hahahaha it's so awkward. I wonder if Goldberg took screenshots (probably not, since the app likely says a screenshot was taken) or pictures of the content. I doubt it, but then again.... journalism.

[jon-nyc]

He did and the article includes some.

I'm not terribly sure how accurate that tweet from Malcolm Nance is. Signal uses end to end encryption and while yes I'm sure foreign adversaries are targeting the cell phone devices of these folks, I'm not aware of any breach where all of the crap Malcolm says has been compromised. Even IF somehow they got access to their Signal chat (which they didn't), it's not like a master key to the whole phone.

This is concerning as it seems to imply Trump’s view is the inclusion of Goldberg was the only issue here. As opposed to using civilian communications channels which they’re all guilty of.

I wonder how many congressional investigations. Does Fox cover this?
