Trump is a Russian asset and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.

    Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.

    The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.

    This isn't a nationalist idea .... the oligarchs have won and are exporting authoritarianism to the globe. Most or the majority of people everywhere just want to have a peaceful life whether they are in the US, Russian, China or anywhere on the globe ... it's oligarchs and wealthy morons that think they can manipulate everyone, everywhere all the time and allow them to become rulers of the universe.

    Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.

    Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.

    I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters. -- Mr. Donald J. Trump

    That encryption is not impenetrable, however, and the Google Threat Intelligence Group warned just last month of "increasing efforts from several Russia state-aligned threat actors to compromise Signal Messenger accounts used by individuals of interest to Russia's intelligence services."

    This is somewhat disingenuous. Signal can't be directly cracked. Only access to the phone directly or via mirroring can expose it. The article somewhat explains this.

    I am in no way whatsoever excusing the actions of these douche-chalupas. I prefer accuracy in my reporting, though. That said, Witkoff in Russia may as well have been a direct line to Putin.

    I'm sure that everyone, including trump will feel the full force of the law. The FBI will immediately investigate make arrest and punish everyone involved in this blatant act of anti-patriotism and treason.

    Right?

    If the GOP had an iota, a molecule, a QUARK of integrity, the cabinet would be impeached en masse. They are a disaster.

    I'm shocked....but I'm also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can't one up themselves and then they go and do it.

    I'm looking forward to anyone using the word 'signal' around trump being suspected of mocking him.

    Sensitive egotistical maniacs are so much fun to placate.

    Literally zero chance they weren't monitoring his phone while he was in the country.
