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

[struth]

I don't know how the app works, but I doubt it's that simple.
He was put in the chat for a reason.
To keep the guilty parties from getting arrested for espionage.

How does he being in the chat keep people’ from being guilty of espionage?

Once again our DUI Sec Defense demonstrates both how unqualified he is and how stupid he thinks the American people are.

Because he didn’t release the whole plan, it doesn’t mean it was classified.

He released the fact that an ongoing attack of F-18s and cruise missiles were coming and that Houthis were the target.

If they had received that information, they would have been on high alert and prepared anti-air defenses. That would have put our pilots at risk.

But Republicans crow….the attack was a success so nothing matters.

It's getting to the point where their conspiracies are actually more important to them than what Trump has to say. But to be honest, has Trump and his stooges actually admitted fault? All I see are them attempting to cover this up and sweep it under the rug.

The thing with Trump is he will create a new crisis and this one will be forgotten.

 

[rightwinger]

um no...even if everything was true, aside from maintaining a presence in, retaining a disclosing classified information, his integrity is shit. Releasing this damages the united states in the eyes of the world. Regardless of if you like trump or not, what HE did was reckless. It eroded trust in the united states.

A Free Press keeps our government in check
It is necessary to maintain freedom

Progressive socialist women and pure beta males are destroying us. Massively empowered. You do not understand it because you are benefitting from artificial means of survival that lasts as long as the economy can while it discharges its wealth to other nations until it collapses.

It is possible that he was drunk at the time, but he appeared to speak reasonably and with prescience on occasion.

“How damaging is it to your ability to recruit or build allies with others when
they are worried that our leaders may be exposing them because of their
gross negligence or their recklessness in handling information?”
Peter Hegseth, Fox "News" Entertainer, 2015​

To me, it looked like he was bragging

Look what I know

Because of the 1st Amendment protections that journalists get. The assumption is that journalists are busy-bodies and you can't expect them to keep a secret. So you leak secrets to the media and they spread it all over, and the courts can't force journalists to divulge their sources keeping you out of jail. Then you use the media's stories to attack your political enemies.

 

[mudwhistle]

Especially since the White House admitted it was an accident on their part.

Are people suggesting the administration is lying in order to incriminate themselves? How does that make sense?

It's funny how everything anyone in the United States does wrong is Trump's fault, but Biden and Obama were never blamed for anything.
Obama ordered Hillary to put a server in her home so they could communicate about shit they were doing that would have caused Obama to be impeached, thrown out of office, and arrested for crimes against humanity, but Trump gets blamed because some Chinese mole put a reporter in on a harmless online communication, so the Democrats can defect from their theft and corruption, and start throwing around wild false accusations at Trump and anyone in his cabinet.

Was Obama bragging when he ran to the mic to loudly proclaim they killed Bin Laden?

Well, that's not true....yes a Court can hold a journalist in contempt and jail them

March 18. Three days after the attack on the Houthis.

Also this:

Weeks before US officials used Signal for war plans, Google outlined how Russia hacked it in Ukraine​

​

If someone like me knows it is hackable, they should have.

I've always said I am more qualified to be SecDef than Hegseth is. I'm a lifer with a lot more decorations than his hair product Fox News ass has.

A lot of soldiers have more decorations than Pistol Pete, but military decorations are a sour spot with us Enlisted guys.
We did all of the work and our useless CO got all of the awards and decorations.
Just being an officer merits awards that Enlisted guys would never see except in extreme cases.
The guys on my team at Group were pretty pissed because the PAC clerks put themselves in for Bronze Stars for going over the Berm into Kuwait, and so the Colonel wouldn't let the ODAs get Bronze Stars for their Scud Chasing missions.

If I accidentally got TOP SECRET CONFIDENTIAL information, I could share it social media with no legal issues.

You cannot even dox someone on this site without a long vacation.

I can post TOP SECRET DOD CLASSIFIED WAR PLANS?

The movie Top Gun: Maverick

And like in the movie, the Houthis have anti-aircraft missiles that can (and have) shot down F-18's or MQ-9 drones.

if you receive merchandise in the mail that you didn't order, you are legally allowed to keep it and are under no obligation to pay for or return it.

No Obligation to Return or Pay:
Under both state and federal law, you are not required to return unsolicited merchandise or pay for it.

Consider it a Free Gift:
You can treat the merchandise as a free gift and use or dispose of it as you see fit.
.
Pretty much the same for anything you receive unsolicited.

You want to holster that conspiracy theory, before you shoot yourself in the foot?

And Obama's only announcement to the press was "We got him!" well after the fact, and after they had confirmation that it was him.
