Hillary Clinton Is Laughing Her Ass Off

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. https://t.co/jvBzeJwEuy

Signal is a free, open-source, encrypted messaging app that prioritizes user privacy, offering end-to-end encrypted messaging and calls, and no ads or data collection.

Yes, I had to look it up. Twitter is banjaxed (I got lucky on that one 👆) or I’d post tweets. BlueSky won’t let me post, so pardon my typos.

The information sent to Jeffrey Goldberg should have been confined to a SCIF, or a classified channel. But Mike Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, J.D. Vance, and Pete Hegseth, at least, were communicating on it. So far as Jeffrey Goldberg knows.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

Don’t hold your breath. And the President of the United States is Sgt. Schulz:

"I don't know anything about it," Trump insisted later on Monday. "I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it."

As ew said:

Trump claiming that NSC knew that Trump's entire NatSec team did something wildly incompetent and none of them -- not JD Vance, not Mike Waltz, not Susie Wiles -- gave him a heads up.

Highly likely that's a lie, but it's not a lie that makes him look less stupid.

Every time you think he can’t get stupider…

Trump asked one reporter to explain the leak to him.

"They were using Signal to coordinate on sensitive materials," the reporter said.

"What were they talking about?" Trump pressed. "You mean the attack on the Houthis?"

"Well, it couldn't have been very effective because the attack was very effective," he added dismissively. "I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time."

He had to be sure we knew that last part. To him, that’s the takeaway.

Heads should roll. But they won’t, because this is Trump, and rules don’t apply.
