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

[Independent thinker]

It's the leftist talking point until further notice. Pretty weak, but whatever.

Yeah, it's kind of funny, isn't it? They've quit talking Trump is Hitler and will take democracy away. Now the most important thing to them is chat text to wrong person. That's apparently the best they've got but with only a 27% approval rating for the democrat party, that is all they've got.

 

[berg80]

The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump—combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions. There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared.

Experts have repeatedly told us that use of a Signal chat for such sensitive discussions poses a threat to national security. As a case in point, Goldberg received information on the attacks two hours before the scheduled start of the bombing of Houthi positions. If this information—particularly the exact times American aircraft were taking off for Yemen—had fallen into the wrong hands in that crucial two-hour period, American pilots and other American personnel could have been exposed to even greater danger than they ordinarily would face. The Trump administration is arguing that the military information contained in these texts was not classified—as it typically would be—although the president has not explained how he reached this conclusion.

The lies of the regime are blowing up in its face.

Republicans, it only gets worse when you lie.


Reporter reveals US attack plans that Trump officials discussed in group chat

1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”


“1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)”

1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)”“1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier ‘Trigger Based’ targets)”“1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts – also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.”“MORE TO FOLLOW (per timeline)”“We are currently clean on OPSEC”—that is, operational security.“Godspeed to our Warriors.”

“VP. Building collapsed. Had multiple positive ID. Pete, Kurilla, the IC, amazing job," Waltz wrote, referring to Hegseth; General Michael E. Kurilla, the commander of Central Command; and the intelligence community, or IC.

Atlantic reveals US attack plans discussed by Trump officials in Signal group chat

The journalist at the center of the Trump administration's Signal chat fiasco publicly released attack plans discussed by senior US officials.

www.usatoday.com

Guess you can't tell the difference between war plans and discussions during the operation.
I remember seeing reports and pictures of Obama and Hillary in the war room watching video of the takedown of Osama Bin Laden, and you folks said nothing was wrong.



The discussion that this discredited journalist leaked to the world is exactly the same as the actions that the Obama Adm took to take down Bin Laden.

You folks cheered it when it was made public. Now you're trying to say that Pete Hegseth made a mistake.

Yet again we see the double-standards from the left.

And double standards from the right as well. Both sides defend the indefensible. Just stating a fact.

Nah. They called his bluff and he released the texts.
Now we know he was lying about war plans.

They were talking about the operation while it was ongoing you ******* idiot

There is a big difference between a still photo a day after an attack and discussing details of a yet to be completed attack on an unsecured chat room

 

[tyroneweaver]

What exactly is weak about a security leak?

You guys kept the Hillary email thing going for over two years

Who's hillary?

 

[berg80]

Do you think a drunk Pete Hegseth gave some dishonest journalist the passcodes?

Apparently he knows the guy pretty well and he doesn't like him.

Why would Pete give this discredited so-called journalists the passcodes?

The text beneath this began, “TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.” Centcom, or Central Command, is the military’s combatant command for the Middle East. The Hegseth text continues:

• •“1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”
• •“1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)”

Let us pause here for a moment to underscore a point. This Signal message shows that the U.S. secretary of defense texted a group that included a phone number unknown to him—Goldberg’s cellphone—at 11:44 a.m.

The only fact I see is this entire hoax is designed to trick people into thinking this discussion gave away war plans.
You have to have an open mind to see it for what it is.

Remember the scene in Patriot Games where they showed members of the CIA watching SAT COM feeds of an ongoing Commando operation?

This journalist took screenshots of the texts that showed them discussing the operation as it was ongoing.

Looks to me that this journalist is in serious trouble.

It wasn't an unsecured chat room. It was encrypted and somebody gave Jeff Goldberg the passcodes to get into it.
So the person that gave him the keys to get into the room is in trouble as is Jeff Goldberg for leaking the discussion to the public.

Guess he won't make that mistake again.

Again, for the learning impaired, this was text messages that were commenting while an operation was ongoing.
These weren't war plans.

The fact that Jeff Goldberg didn't know enough about the military to recognize that and was too much in a hurry to expose this shows it for what it is.
Oh and BTW, Jeff Goldberg is now guilty of espionage.

 

[berg80]

From Petester...........“We are currently clean on OPSEC”—that is, operational security."

OOOOOOsps.

 

[rightwinger]

Hmm.., Trump has already wiped it of his table and responsibility.
According to him, his Cabinet clowns and his MAGA minions, nothing happened and if, then it's the journalists fault !!

I think it had something to do with The Atlantic having low circulation

 

[rightwinger]

It was not cleared to discuss classified information.
They have Sciffs for that

Not only was Goldberg invited but nobody bothered to check to see who was in the chat

 

[mudwhistle]

No it's not. That still photo was taken during the operation. And this wasn't an unsecured chat room.
You had to have been given clearance by somebody to get into that chat room.

 

[mudwhistle]

It was not cleared to discuss classified information.
They have Sciffs for that

Not only was Goldberg invited but nobody bothered to check to see who was in the chat

Who invited him?

Some mole working for the Deep State?

This wasn't a Zoom Call, was it?

How are the people texting going to know who is receiving these texts?

I mean if I was the target I may decide to get out of the house for a bit. But that is just me.
Im not a simple minded peasant.

It rather makes yesterdays protestations rather hollow.
Is it possible that these people lied ? Is it just possible ?

 

[rightwinger]

Who's hillary?

You know…

Whitewater
BENGHAZI
Emails

Dead end scandals that Republicans kept going for years and years

Awesome. Another thread on the same ******* subject.
Thanks.

The names and numbers were pre-programmed in. However someone changed a known contacts number to Goldbergs.

IOW this was a Democrat operatives espionage ploy.
