Think about this. The Russians, Chinese, or who ever, have already tapped into Signal. They listen to the dumb fucks all the time. They didn’t notify the Houthis because timing and they don’t really give a shit about the Houthis, except maybe the Iranians, and if the mission had become compromised there would have been a serious investigation why.
Jeff Goldberg hooked in has totally screwed this sweet leak.

From the NYTimes (my bold)
Lithuania’s defense minister, Dovile Sakaliene, met with American military commanders and said the country would provide whatever resources were necessary to help in the search. In a statement on social media, Ms. Sakaliene called the American soldiers “OUR soldiers and friends.”
President Trump said on Wednesday that he had not been briefed on the situation and appeared to be unaware of the search for the soldiers.
Remember how the right howled when the Biden White House kept their prez in the dark on important matters because he was too old?

It looks like he was being set up to be the fall guy. Maybe they thought he would fail to hold the information closely until after the mission and didn’t anticipate how quickly he would move after nor that he would publish after they declared the information was not classified

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

So that there would be no record of their discussions because Signal can be set to delete after a chosen number of days.

Not just a journalist, but the one who wrote about Trump calling D-Day casualties “suckers and losers”.
When you’re on Trump’s shit list, there’s nowhere out of there. When you go in, you’re in for good.

Or “illegally.”
But how could she possibly know? She’s only the head of the Department of Justice.

I would be concerned if it hadn’t.
May your wish be granted. I hope this comparison is not the reverse but that remains to be seen, and each day is a new day in the counting.
Well, that’s really the kiss of death, if you recall the first (double impeachment!) term. One day, it’s “I have the highest confidence”; the next day, the successor is announced.

And I really do wish that the infotainment media had covered it this way. Thanks, Ben!

You’re talking about “the little people”, like us. People who were investigated before getting their clearances. These dudes got to skip the investigation phase, and it seems highly likely that they didn’t “need” or receive any of the training, either.
