It's a good thing Goldberg isn't a greedy or vindictive man. He could have sold that classified information to Iran, as soon as he got it, before the strike on Yeman. There would have been no way republicans and\or hegseth could have put a spin on that.

JD suddenly going to Greenland &Trump suddenly announcing car tariff aren’t coincidences. Team Trump are trying to create events that manipulate the media to move the news cycle away from Signalgate onto other events. Hoping the media forget about the incompetence of America’s security leadership.

This was from less than ten days ago. Since then Karoline Leavitt has moved up rapidly, closely followed by Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe and Steve Witkoff. It's hard to keep up with the avalanche of misinformation (we used to call it "lies").

Signal doesn't store your messages or collect personal information. Disappearing Messages Twilio attack 1,900 numbers involved Hacker was looking for 3 numbers 1 of the 3 said their number had been re-registered. NSA warned of vulnerabilities 1 month before use.

I guess the real vulnerability to Signal is that although Signal doesn't store your messages, they are stored on the individuals phones.

Now we know why our society is riddled with people who do not admit nor accept responsibility for their bad behavior. We should start a campaign publicly recognizing people who demonstrate self accountability. This applies to both sides of the aisle, bosses, celebrities, etc. Celebrate them.

How can the members of this Signal chat know so much and know so little at the same time? It’s ridiculous that this would have generated so much vitriol from them if it was Biden and yet they blow it off because it’s them. They crucified Clinton over emails that divulged nothing.

They already called the Atlantic editor a fraud, hoaxer, traitor. Trump plays Sergeant Schultz, says he knows nothing but bad mouths the editor. Hegseth still denies it was classified despite everyone who knows classified info as declaring it is. The rest of the intelligence(?) group refuse to talk.
