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

[theHawk]

Really?

Announcing military attacks before hand is not Top Secret?

In what universe?

It is sensitive, not TS since there is no specifics.

Also, the parties were unaware of the unauthorized third party listening in.

The person responsible for adding the reporter is the only one breaking the law if any.

In order to be breaking the law it has to be willful. If it was an honest mistake, then it isn’t breaking the law.

So that makes it all ok in that pea sized brain you have.

I will not be Lectured by Dems on Security.

Given the miserable failures they were.

Given how they flooded the Nation with illegals.

Given Russia invaded on their watch.

Given they helped get Al Queda to take over Syria.

Face it

Dems.

 

[OldFlame]

Actually they can and did make it up. At least the “top secret” part as well as “war plans”.

No top secret info was relayed in the text.


It was also all set up by a anti-Trump RINO whose own wife helped put J6 protesters in jail. He will be investigated and likely charged with trying to sabotage the administration.

Who is the staffer?

You really think that an imminent F-18 attack on the Houthis is not specific?

What is the matter with you guys?
Must you come up with excuses for everything?

Who is in charge of that chat?
If you are going to discuss secret information, participants should be in a Sciff

They think we are that stupid. MAGA may be, but anyone outside the Cult is not.

What is with USMB Conservatives who always brag about their military service?

Will one of you have the balls to admit that when you served, that if you divulged details of an attack beforehand that you would have been arrested?

You think anyone who compromises secret information in the future will be allowed to use the same excuse?

You overplaying this BS.

Doesnt matter if they know we are coming. Not a damn thing they can do to stop us.

I think even the dullest Houthi might realise who the target was when the name of the group was the Houthi Group Chat.
The **** ups are lucky that the journalist kept the mission details confidential. Something the entire security team failed to do.

 

[Stann]

No, there has to be intent, there was no intent here, in fact the reporter hacked in to the app system they used. It's in the article.

You mean like being charged with involuntary man slaughter. Negligence is a crime in of itself.

 

[Kruska]

Actually it's like arguing between a right hook and an upper cut.

The attack plan was technically not a war plan, since a war plan would involve more than one strike.

So the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor similarly wasn't a war plan.

Not quite,

From the info that is given (most "for known reasons" is not published) there are already 2 strikes confirmed via two separate F-18 units, and a separate strike with Tomahawks.
So it's a war-plan - that beholds separate aerial strike sequences, target descriptions and ship-land missiles, for an attack/strike onto several targets.
Therefore the leaked info was a war-plan, whilst the Pearl-harbor attack was based onto a war-plan that didn't leak.
