Democrats seek criminal probe over group chat on Houthi strike

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Are we talking about the whataboutism of national security blunders or the fact that Democrats said nothing in Hilary's case?

My point is not about the blunders themselves and which was worse, my point is the decidedly double-standard Democrat response to these blunders. I made that clear in my first post.

Clinton has nothing to do with the awful amateurism MAGA mistakes in national security.

Because you'd lose. Not that ever stops you the rest of the time.

sigh

Republicans were the ones chanting "lock her up", while Trump was keeping classified documents in the shitter and his goons are using Signal to do war plans.

Shit, the only way it could be worse if they used WeChat.

You dumbass. The Hilary thing was going on while he was President and the documents thing didn't come up until after he was out of office.

Except it's not really a double standard.

Yes, it is a double standard.

No one complained about it at all until someone found an old picture of Hillary looking at her blackberry.

And yet it was prohibited the whole time; before, during and after anyone complained.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Oh, your debating skills are worse.

The SIGNAL fiasco was far worse.

Now go wash your face.

Have you not understood a word I've said? Did I not make it clear from the beginning that I was not comparing the two blunders?

Now go wash your computer screen.

The Hillary thing wasn't found out about until after she stepped down during the 108 Benghazi investigations that found she didn't do anything wrong.

No, it doesn't. Did I suggest she did?

From my previous post: "My point is not about the blunders themselves and which was worse, my point is the decidedly double-standard Democrat response to these blunders. I made that clear in my first post."

I'm not comparing blunders and one blunder has nothing to do with the other. Nowhere in any of my posts in this discussion did I compare the two or even allude to one being worse than the other. You are the one who keeps bringing that up, not me. You keep bringing up a comparison of the two blunders in response to my comparison of the two Democrat responses.

I simply don't know what else to tell you here. I can't make my point any clearer than that.

Now go wash your computer screen.

I am, because it shows Trump is far worse than Clinton.

How is that possible, but there it is.

I was referring to the "Lock her up" narrative. That went on while Trump was in office.

What does any of that have to do with what I'm talking about?

... because you guys keep talking about things way back then that have no relevance now. Your guy is demented, and we are all paying the price. I thought we were beyond inflation and recession, and Orange Bozo is bringing stagflation with steroids on us.

Who's "you guys"?

I asked what it had to do with what I'm talking about and you just double down on "Trump, bad". I'm talking about the differences between the two Democrat responses to these national security blunders.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Your defense comes straight from Trump Defense Syndrome/Trump Propaganda Syndrome as we as "whataboutism." That's all in the gutter now.

Please, I beg you, tell me who or what I defended.

I expect this kind of obtuseness from Joe but I thought you had better sense.

‘Democratic lawmakers called for criminal investigations Wednesday into the conduct surrounding a sensitive group chat in which high-ranking Trump officials discussed military action against the Houthis.

Senate and House Democrats underscored the Espionage Act in letters to the Trump administration as they called for either Attorney General Pamela Bondi or a special counsel to review the activity of the Signal group chat, which has set off a firestorm on Capitol Hill.

The existence of the group chat was revealed by The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, who reported he was accidentally added to the chat. On Wednesday, The Atlantic published the chat that included information about the attacks ahead of “the scheduled start of the bombing of Houthi positions.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, argued in a letter Wednesday that conduct in the group chat was “likely” a violation of the Espionage Act. “This situation is perhaps one of the most humiliating and dangerous national security breaches in modern American history,” Raskin said in the letter to Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, adding that the episode put the lives of American servicemembers at risk.’

Very good.

The incompetence and reckless disregard for security protocols is in fact criminal.

More frivolous garbage from the democrats to obstruct any successes by the current admin. The democrats just keep digging. I wonder how many votes they will lose with this stupidity.

Doena' matter, laddie.

It does maiter laddie. That is, if Joe is implying that Trump supporters were chanting "Lock her up" while knowing Trump had documents at his place, thus, making them hypocrites and I'm pretty sure that's what he's saying.

Problem is, the "Lock her up" narrative was going on while he was in office and the issue of the documents didn't come up until after he was out of office. Furthermore, if he had documents at his place during his presidency, his supporters wouldn't have known shit about it anyway.

Stop being obtuse and meet the challenge.

So you have no answer as to what or who I'm defending?

It's your claim that I'm "defending" something; meet the challenge and back it up.

You have not said anything worthy of response.

I will let you know when that changes.

Try staying with the topic.

Apparently I said something that was worth the response of an unsubstantiated claim by you and one which, further, you refuse to substantiate.

Try staying with the topic.

I've been on topic the whole time; discussing the Democrat response to the chat blunder. You, on the other hand, have done pretty much nothing but rant about Trump.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, you have been trolling.
