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

Emails

Dead end scandals that Republicans kept going for years and years

Yeah. The Clintons had Secret Service agents burning documents. The FBI destroying evidence.

Dead end you say.

 

[struth]

Clinton said the same thing about her emails.

She did, the Obama admin disagreed with her claim though. Has the Trump admin disagreed with the intel officials?

 

[initforme]

As a very old person I have watched all the dysfunction happen. So this is no big deal as it's just a part of this country. It's given me many a great laugh. It's like a sitcom.

 

[struth]

Not a war. A military strike on an independent nation.
What is under international law, "an act of war".
(no article 51 exception)

Actually it was against terrorist that attacked us. Not a independent nation. You seem very confused

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

 

[Marener]

She did, the Obama admin disagreed with her claim though. Has the Trump admin disagreed with the intel officials?

There hasn’t been an impartial investigation, and probably won’t be.

 

[rightwinger]

Yeah. The Clintons had Secret Service agents burning documents. The FBI destroying evidence.

Dead end you say.

Oh yea….

The same old, we could not find anything so you must have destroyed the evidence

 

[rightwinger]

Good , punish those responsible. However, didn't the Atlantic break the law also? If they knew this might have been a classified meeting, doesn't him copying the transcript constitute a breach of the law?

I figured Republicans would blame the Atlantic on this

If you are going to discuss an air strike, find. sciff and verify who is on the chat

 

[rightwinger]

Really? What is the difference? Both are after the fact.

If only
Hegseth was posting while planes were in the air

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Actually it was against terrorist that attacked us. Not a independent nation. You seem very confused

Technically, it is called piracy.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If only
Hegseth was posting while planes were in the air

So? What is the harm in that? The Houthis were not privy to the conversation as they still use camel dung to cook with!

 

[odanny]

What we do know, at this point moving forward, after the congressional hearing yesterday, is there is zero accountability and no honesty forthcoming from this administration. This will worsen in the coming months, where they actively seek to silence the voices who expose them.

A bunch of drunken frat boys are running the government, all answering to a President uniquely unqualified for the position.

Pentagon acknowledges Hegseth shared information in Signal chat while Yemen operation was underway​

From CNN's Natasha Bertrand
The Pentagon’s chief spokesperson Sean Parnell acknowledged on Wednesday that Defense Secretary Hegseth shared information on the US military’s strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on a group chat on Signal while the operation was underway.

A defense official earlier told CNN that those details were classified at the time of the operation precisely because their disclosure could put service members at risk.

There hasn’t been an impartial investigation, and probably won’t be.

Well the Info was published, we can see it’s not classified. It’s a chat between people discussing real time events

Not classified, the entire world saw the bombing happen. It’s not a secret

The accountability will come when we find out how Goldberg hacked his way into the conversation and who helped him do it.... Musk and Big Balls are on the case...

Yes so? The pentagon, what he heads, acknowledged he shared real time information with other members of the admin? Wow…we all saw it on TV too. The attack wasn’t a secret.

 

[pknopp]

Of course another scandal is that trumpy knew nothing about it. If he was telling the truth that is.

I don't think he did. It appears that Stephen Miller was in charge here.

Actually an attack is secret while it is going on
A reporter with the Atlantic is not a member of the admin
He is the only one who acted responsibly

 

[Marener]

we can see it’s not classified

You see what they tell you to see.

How is it secret while it's going on? They are literally bombs going off, it's pretty loud

I agree with your second point, but nobody intended that he be on it, that's not who he was intending to share it with. Now if your claim is, that the SecDef intended to share the information, then what's the big deal? He certainly can, why are we even making this an issue?

Well, I don't know about that, if I am somehow included on a email or chat that I know I am not suppose to be on, I typically politely excuse myself, not take the info and run with it. Particularly, if I think that information could harm our national security. One has to think the reporter realized this real time info, wouldn't harm national security if he wrote about it, because it wasn't classified information
