You forgot to post the pictures from Biden's garage and other places, where he stole documents for decades.Blithely dismissing this egregious display of incompetence as, essentially, of no consequence is a line that diehard Trumpers may swallow, but anyone who understands the vital need for national security isn't buying it.
..."There are people whose lives are literally on the line, whether that's service personnel, whether that's intelligence personnel," Michael Williams, an expert on international relations and a professor at Syracuse University, told Military.com in an interview Tuesday. "These guys are supposed to be leaders of the free world, the responsible leaders of the military, the greatest country in the world, and they can't perform basic operational security."..
Experts who spoke with Military.com on Tuesday said it's highly unlikely that operational details at the level Goldberg described would not be classified. And, they added, sharing the information outside of classified systems is incredibly irresponsible.
"It's an extraordinary departure from how we deal with classified information," Eric Carpenter, a law professor at the Florida International University College of Law and a former Army judge advocate, told Military.com in a phone interview Tuesday.
Carpenter added that, if a service member were to do something similar, they would be facing a court-martial.[/url]
A national security insider explains what counts as a war plan and why top officials don’t even need Signal.My initial reaction was: This is completely insane. A, I can’t believe they are doing all of this on Signal, and B, even more remarkable, I can’t believe they added Jeffrey Goldberg. Both in terms of the level of sensitivity of information that was on that discussion, but also part of the reason that you don’t do things like that on Signal is precisely because of user error. We’ve all added the wrong person to a chat at some point. But there are systems in place where I can never accidentally email this to Jeffrey Goldberg, because if I was on a classified system sending an email to this group of people, his email would never pop up because he would never have access. The whole thing was just jaw-dropping.
