There was another potential problem: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

“Under the records laws applicable to the White House and federal agencies, all government employees are prohibited from using electronic-messaging applications such as Signal for official business, unless those messages are promptly forwarded or copied to an official government account,” Jason R. Baron, a professor at the University of Maryland and the former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, told Harris.

Oh it's even better than that. They're talking about State secrets outside approved channels. We have secure government communication channels. Random Signal chats aren't it.

Yeah that part did not evade me. Scummy as shit

and then they left the chat...

Alcohol doesn’t count if you balance it with coke.

he maybe very tolerant to alcohol to the point it doesnt get him drunk.

CNN reported that they literally did exactly that:
As soon as bombs were falling, they cheered in the chat and have sent emoji for celebration

🤮

They took away Obama's Blackberry just for this clown shit to happen.

Memes for what? Please explain to my out-of-the loop ass. Ever since leaving reddit over a year ago it's been difficult for me to keep up with the news.

It was a groupchat

Two days later—Thursday—at 4:28 p.m., I received a notice that I was to be included in a Signal chat group. It was called the “Houthi PC small group.”

A message to the group, from “Michael Waltz,” read as follows: “Team – establishing a principles [sic] group for coordination on Houthis, particularly for over the next 72 hours. My deputy Alex Wong is pulling together a tiger team at deputies/agency Chief of Staff level following up from the meeting in the Sit Room this morning for action items and will be sending that out later this evening.”

The message continued, “Pls provide the best staff POC from your team for us to coordinate with over the next couple days and over the weekend. Thx.”

The term principals committee generally refers to a group of the senior-most national-security officials, including the secretaries of defense, state, and the treasury, as well as the director of the CIA.

They thought they were on Grindr

I mean, fuck Hegseth in general, but the Houthis aren't an ethnic group and are generally bad, being so oppositional to peace in Yemen historically and killing civilians.

Potential legal problems for Goldberg if he continues eavesdropping after realizing the chat is real.

It is hard to choose the right time.

Either you are too early and you could have gotten more intel.

Or you are too late and you could have prevented some fucked up shit by going public.

You always loose.

They went nuts over Hunter Bidens laptop for ageeees, this will be forgotten in a week.
