White House inadvertently texted top-secret Yemen war plans to journalist

[Nuthin' Fancy]

It was the Deep State. Or corrupt judges. Or the commies. Or Soros. Or Satan.

They were also responsible for this too.............

Donald Trump used a phone flashlight to read his briefing ...​

Feb 13, 2017 — Trump took the briefing in the middle of the resort's public terrace. Even worse, his aides lit the documents with their cell phones.

Over the weekend, North Korea launched a midrange ballistic missile in an unannounced test, an implicit threat to much of East Asia. It’s the kind of unplanned crisis that puts the national security sector on high alert, prompting an emergency for the president and top staff.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump was at Mar-a-Lago, having dinner with Japanese Prime Minister Abe. CNN reports that, instead of retiring to a secure room, Trump took the briefing in the middle of the resort’s public terrace. Even worse, his aides lit the documents with their cell phones, since apparently no one had a lamp handy.

I have to wonder how the cuts affected this **** up.
There would have been an adult in govt whose job it was to prevent classified info being shared with the press.
Now that they were sacked there is nothing to stop classified info being broadcast when hegseth has had a few.

This clown show is only just beginning.

I dont know exactly what was discussed neither do you

Anything that was said should not have been said over Signal

How much clearer can I say thst for you to understand?

excuse me, cyberbuddies----WTF is "SIGNAL"?

 

[Rocko]

I guess this is amateur hour

They obviously were talking operational details and I’m sure a journalist would save the messages, as the law says the principles should have also done. Some heads need to roll.

There were no operational details transmitted in that thread.

If Bloomberg actually has the information in his possession, he should be charged under the espionage act. I doubt he has anything incriminating. He's just saying he does. Arrest his ass and I bet he comes clean.

 

[rightwinger]

I read that it's more on Waltz than Hegseth.
Here is trump stating the same.

Thankfully, the journalist acted responsibly and did not release the information.

“He learned his lesson” is not an excuse for a massive security breach

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Only an idiot would compare DDay to Yemen and Houthis.

TDS has you retards desperate.

Thats what maga clowns are literally doing.

 

[Hollie]

So this then applies to ALL soldiers?
Do you need me to post other, not so Hegseth Friendly, photos of trusty Pete?
I won't, you've seen them already.

What point is served with your goofy photoshopped pictures?

Yeah but it was an accident.

 

[Redfish]

You don’t think leaders should be held accountable for lax security?

Hillary, Bill, and Biden weren't. hypocrisy much? and on that topic, how about Obozo's Kenyan BC and Biden's auto pen signings. Every act done by either of them should be declared null and void.

 

[Hollie]

Thats what maga clowns are literally doing.

False, Ahmed.

 

[Marener]

I will repeat for the Nth time

Using Signal was wrong

Now, who do you want to lynch?

Maybe you should stop repeating yourself and actually answer the questions like an honest person?

The journalist if a true American patriot would not have said anything to the public. And dealt with it with the administration. There was a time we were like that.

 

[mudwhistle]

Do republicans ever feel pathetic desperately trying to spin this?

Truth is this whole story is based on spin.
So until we find out what really happened we should just take it for what it's worth and remember who the source of the accusations is.
Same source that created the Russian Collusion hoax.

This is far worse than Hillary Clintons emails. Republicans spent two years calling for her to be jailed, even though no classified information was ever present, much less leaked from the server in her office. Which by the way, Ivanka Trump also conducted official business from a private server in her office, during Trumps first term.

I still don't remember any Republicans calling her to go to jail.

The top secret war plans sent to a journalist with actual troop movements, times, and places, is the biggest national security breach in US history. Not only should Pete Hegeseth go to jail, but the national security advisor, Mike Walz as well. These are actual federal crimes that were violated regarding the mishandling of the most critical information concerning military operations, that put troops in harms way, and expose the highest level of classified information.

For Trump to play it down like he doesn't even know whats going on, exposes incompetence, and criminal negligence, unprecedented by a President. He should also resign immediately. Unfortunately, that would put VP, J D Vance in charge, which would be an even worse, and mind boggling degree of incompetence the country could not withstand.

'Furious discussion': Irate White House mulls ouster of Trump's national security adviser

A top national security adviser to Donald Trump may get pushed out of the White House following a bombshell report that he inadvertently added a journalist to a group chat on Signal, where he and other top officials discussed top-secret war plans.On March 15, just hours before the U.S. launched...

This isn't going away. Everybody already expects Trump to do something over the top to try to change the news cycle. But that ain't happening. This story will stick to Trump like ketchup thrown against a wall, and long after he's gone from the White House. The material for Democrats campaign ads for 2028 is coming along nicely.

Jail? I don't think so. There was nothing intentional here, just idiotic. He needs to be fired.

Lol, under joes regime, sec defense ran off the job without letting anyone know, sent hundreds of billions of grift to ukraines, let chinese spy balloons cruise the country and the list goes on. Hers a nickel, go cry yourself an ocean. No one cares. Just more hollow words from the op and more hyperbole from a liberal partisan rag media. Amazingly, they uttered nary a peep when atrocities were committed by joes corrupt regime. Amazing.

keep trying libs, ya got nothing yet.

 

[Marener]

Anything our war leaders said in private is useful to the Iranians and the Hootie Tooties

Doesn’t that meet the very definition of classified information?

 

[Winco]

Thankfully, the journalist acted responsibly and did not release the information.

“He learned his lesson” is not an excuse for a massive security breach

Oh I agree, but at least this is trump admitting that it happened.

I'm looking to see if trump 'walks back' that statement or which cult members will continue with the narrative of, that's NOT what trump meant, you are taking it out of context.

Once again, trumps original response.
