Faux News is worse than I thought.

In the long run (14 days), what does it really mean for the American people?
It’s a good question and the answer depends on what the administration’s takeaways are.
I find it notable that, of the dozen or so people on the chat, not one said ‘should we be doing this on Signal?’ That, plus Trump’s comments being only about Walz, suggests the use of signal for NatSec discussions and operations is endemic and will continue.

I'd imagine each defense and intel agency is sending very clear guidance to their employees about if they can use Signal and, if so, what it can be used for. I'd also imagine WhiskeyLeaks & Gang will be very gun shy in the future about using it, so maybe this is (barf) a good "lessons learned" event.

Haha bold prediction. They'll be careful not to add a random journalist to their classified chat I'm sure.

I mean, depending on how retarded you think the administration is, it's a bold prediction.

Boys and girls, contrary to popular belief around here, no official of either party constantly scours X feeds for security minutiae. The Ap was on their government issued phones. The Ap is on the CIA computers.
Pardon me for thinking if that is the case, then the Administration might just assume it is a valid communication tool.
My only concern with this matter is how did Goldshit get on the chat? Was it a mistake? Or was it deliberate?
And knowing that Goldshit has written outright lies about Trump in the past, who would even have the guy in their contacts?

There was no harm done, and it won't happen again. The level of carelessness involved is impossible to defend, and it's put Gabbard and others in a position where they have to spend some of their credibility weaseling around the questions. But this will blow over in any case, mostly because 1. it was an accident that won't happen again, and 2. no harm was done.
Education is extremely important.

I think the main lesson we've all learned from this is what a dreadful person Goldberg is.

We all know how Trump feels about lies! Zero tolerance for dishonesty.

Answer the question young man and follow it to the logical conclusion.

One of Trump's guys is lying is one possible conclusion.
Obviously, that couldn't happen. You couldn't find a more truthful, honest and decent group of patriots if you advertised for them in Patriot Monthly, The Magazine for Patriots.

@Jolly What question? Waltz literally added Goldberg to the chat. There is no way around it. No hacking, no typo phone numbers. The way the app works is you have to deliberately select which people to bring in, mostly using the display name (JG, in this case). Some are saying Waltz probably meant to add JG (Jamieson Greer, the US Trade representative).

Any theory that this was intentional will be easily proven or disproven. I am guessing it will be disproven, to very little fanfare.

What actually happened is that Mike Walz was added to the chat by accident. Mr. Goldberg had tried to have a chat with Mike Hunt, and for some reason auto-correct took over.
From there, it was just a further series of unfortunate events ending in the conclusion we now see before us.

Good summary.
Hypocrisy was shown too, but we've seen that already with how Trump now uses FBI for lawfare now that he's on the other side of the ball.

Did I say hacking?
Read very carefully what I wrote.

Nope. I have some good friends (shocker) that work there. To keep the details simple, there's a network where classified communication happens, and a network where unclassified communication happens. The reference to Ratcliffe's POC is classified as are the military attack details. I believe Signal is only allowed to be used for U//FOUO messages (unclassified, for official use only).

You asked:

How? Waltz added him.
Mistake? Yes.
Deliberate? No.
Why was his info in Waltz's phone? No idea. Waltz seems somewhat slimy and inept, but I'm guessing the JG contact was in his phone as a suggest contact and when he went to form the Signal group he clicked on JG not realizing it wasn't the trade ambassador.
