The only person that needs to be blamed is the convicted felon who nominated Hegseth. Impeach him.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but this is the most serious security breach that I can remember in, say, forever! DonOLD tRump has now made sharing top-secret information and classified documents outside government secure channels the norm. What could go wrong next?

The Pentagon is close the White House and a certain someone there would love the focus to be on Waltz instead of the genius who posted war plans to Signal. “A person close to the White House was even more blunt: “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a fucking idiot.”

I think it will not harm them, unless the whole MAGA system crumbles. Maybe they even deliberately included Goldberg, to show they can do what they want. The Signal app may not be approved, but is generally considered safe, other than postcard-like unencrypted e-mail. That'what they'll claim.

I doubt that. Because so far they deny that such a group existed. To fire him would mean that this group officially existed and they communicated on their personal smartphones. Their government devices probably are blocked against commercial apps.

There are protocols that Hegseth, and Waltz should absolutely have known and insisted upon enacting. They include devices used only for the express purposes of conversations such as this one. The only reason this would happened was either ignorant hubris or stupidity intentional.
