All of those people discussing classified information on Signal, and the White House wants a fall guy:

A senior Trump administration official told the outlet that there are threads between staffers on how to handle Waltz.

“Half of them saying he’s never going to survive or shouldn’t survive,” the official told the outlet.

“It was reckless not to check who was on the thread. It was reckless to be having that conversation on Signal. You can’t have recklessness as the national security adviser,” the official added.

A person close to the White House told the outlet: “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f---ing idiot.”

Because that’s the problem.
