The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Their War Plans
-
In the hearing you can see they have a general approach to say "nothing was classified" but Warner said just to release the text then. Either it's classified or it's not.
I am guessing since technically what Hegseth sent out in terms of attack details probably didn't have a "TOP SECRET" classified banner/block on it, then they're arguing it wasn't teeeeeeeeechnically classified. It's a big stretch and certainly one that would get a normal worker bee fired if they had sent war plan attack specifics via Signal or other encrypted chat apps.
Signal is used by government officials, even in the intel world, but it's not approved for handling classified information.
The highlights from the hearing are fun.

There’s a hearing today. The talking points are mainly two. That the information shared on Signal was not classified, and that Signal is a normally used and approved messaging system. The opposition senators are salivating at an investigation.
That seems false. Surely the launch times and targets were classified. When the spokesperson talked about it today she was careful to say ‘no classified materials’ instead of ‘information’. As they didn’t force documents with classified stamps on them down the signal wire.
There’s a way to test this. Have Goldberg offer to publish everything.

By the way did the Senate really convene a hearing this quickly? Or was this already planned by some coincidence?

I guess you have me blocked, but I answered that already.
Education is extremely important.

I was replying to your post right before that, and never noticed you reposted in the interim.

After watching that hearing, I don't need any more ridiculous excuses today.

Over/under on his resignation? I'd say in the next 48 hours. This is what he said about a half hour ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1jjrldl/mike_waltz_lies_about_how_hes_never_met_dont_know/
Sure seems nervous as he lies about "not knowing or ever talking with (goldberg)" but luckily he gains confidence as he resumes kissing Trump's ass. What a weird time, it feels like his supporters are scared as they talk about Trump in public, knowing they could be killed off with any tweet.

Senator Kelly schools the maga n00bs. He was a naval officer for 25 years before becoming an astronaut.
Ratcliff's answer also provides more insight into their odd "nothing was classified in that thread" argument. Hegseth is the "original classifying authority (within DOD)" so he decides what is classified or not. Reminds me of Trump's argument when taking top secret materials to Florida... when he said "if I even thought the document is declassified, then it it so". Amateur hour!

As I am still a member of a FB Federal Employees group that has lit up like a wildfire since the Fork in the Road, you may find it quite amusing that the employees are still required to send their weekly 5 accomplishments to OPM. What is amusing is that they are now getting those emails kicked back due to HQ@OPM.GOV mailbox being full. No one is reading them anymore or if at all ever. They need to hire a better AI I guess!

Never fear, I am confident there is only one poster here who probably employs that tactic to evade being called out or held to account. I can also say with reasonable certainty that jon is not that poster and you are not the targeted blockee.
