So, What Was The Bottom Line To The Chat Group Security Flub?

[dudmuck]

Nothing was disclosed

 

[Lesh]

Try all you want.

Nothing is gonna to make this any less stupid or incompetent.

These people have no business having anything to do with our Defense Department

 

[Crepitus]

I see lefty after lefty after lefty hyping this up for political reasons like some really awful thing. Yes, it was indeed a flub and should be learned from. Took me by surprise that we even have a group chat over a national security thing as important as this was.

But, what was really the bottom line of it all? Did it mess up our attack plans? No.

Did it expose classifed security to our enemies? Doesn't seem to have. As I understand it, the info was accidentally texted to a US reporter and, to the best of my knowledge, he did nothing nefarious with the information which would be traitorous to our country, therefore none of the flub had anything to do with anything detrimental to our country.

Yes, it was careless, just as Hillary Clinton's email server in her basement which could easily be hacked by our enemies was labeled extremely careless.

But, to the best of my knowledge, this is all a huge nothingburger being used as political ammo against Trump that does need to be fixed.

How fucking stupid can you get?

 

[Skylar]

MAGA World making up a dipshit conspiracy backed by absolutely nothing to ignore the actual Signal debacle, the actual crimes committed, the actual incompetence on massive display?

Shocker!

 

[Independent thinker]

Is that the ultimate lesson to be learned here?

No. The lesson is not to do it again, even though it did no harm.

Two takeaways from this thing: First, the concerns many had that these people were chosen for their blind fealty rather than their ability to do their jobs properly and effectively have been realized immediately.

And second, after the top-level insults and condesension used in the communications, any chance we had of healing the relationships we used to have with our former allies and former friends is lost. We can no longer count on them for anything, including international counter-terrorism intelligence sharing or military support (such as when they lost their own people helping us in Iraq & Afghanistan, sacrificing their own blood and treasure).

But, as we know, there is virtually no accountability now, so who cares. This is who and what we are. Meh. We move on now.

Bottom line: the desperate Dems leapt on an inside-the-beltway flub that almost no Americans care about.

The BIGGER story is how they keep doing this over and over. Steele Dossier, classified docs, etc. They are clueless and I'm here for every second of it.

Well, on the bright side, this little thing hasn't cost us any trust or reputation on the world stage.

We had already lost that over the last few weeks.

Libs lie

Signal is not unsecured

It is not a CLASSIFIED system. Only COMMUNICATIONS in our SCIFs are CLASSIFIED.

The Situation room, is the SCIF safe room where most larger groups meet to discuss Classified information with each other.

You are bloviating about something neither of us know very much about

The director of the CIA testified that Signal is authorized for use

As you might know the CIA deals with nothing but secret information

 

[rightwinger]

LOL. The war plan on the Houthis went just fine. Biden's total failure on getting us out of Afghanistan correctly is what was really inept.

Went fine in spite of Trump leadership tipping off the attack

With all of the left's attacks on Trump over eight years it's always nothing but could haves.

Don't get snared in their little trap. Their ploy is to force us in to a position where we have to defend President Trump.

Just ignore them.

 

[JGalt]

Even republicans are calling for hearings. You've just been conditioned to ignore the overwhelming incompetence of the Trump administration and his dipshit handlers.

Good luck with that. You keep repeating 'nothingburger' as you rock back and forth. I'll watch the hearings.

Don't care. A month from now this will all be forgotten, and you pinheads will be wailing about something else.

N-O-T-H-I-N-G-B-U-R-G-E-RRRRRR

 

[the watcher]

You have to have a realistic grasp of the inbred relationship between the shadow government and the media to understand the complex and driving force to create the national perception. Operation Mockingbird and Chaos were but 2 of the programs to infiltrate and steer the media. They are indistinguishable today, and are part of planning and reporting. It was just mentioned this time to stir the pot a little.

Trump was innocent this time

It was his staff full of morons

Shrugging, huh?

So the CIA uses it only to chat about golfing or other light topics?

Dont make me laugh

Are you accusing the CUA of breaking protocol? Got any evidence?
