A gang, which could not write right now, is trying to convince us that waging wars over a signal is not a big deal. You must be as unhappy as to believe in it.

“I know exactly what I do,” the Defense Secretary Proclaimed Pete Hegset Before the improvised built -in reporter on Honolulu on Tuesday. It was one small fosiylade in the impressive white -house false home about the humiliating and incompetent team of Trump teamExchange Plans for Bombing Goals Houthi In Yemen’s in Group Chat Signal-App that included Atlantic Editor -in -Chief Jeffrey Goldberg. And like all other previous ones, incorrect accessories and clumsy Hominem attacks, which now follow from the top reach of the US national security after the episode inevitably called “SignalGate”, the protest of the Jesian was completely unconvincing.
As Nation John Hanz’s depository noted that The forecast review of text exchanges The fact that Goldberg first saw and then published that hegseth was exactly the ideologue lickspittle maga that he was on his morning show Fox News. At one point, hegset chat was dreamed to check the Vice President of America JD Vance, the first reservations about the action as a rescue part of the European states, from the truth-Socialesque refren “This is pathetic.” But when the White House Advisor Stephen Miller broke into a thread with a reminder of Trump’s justification for action – say that the Saidic Channel of the Huti Movement, and then force the European countries to give more expenses – became part of the rapid abandoned “Freelez” and wrote the text “.
If Hegset does not know what he is doing, and he needs to wait for the mouthpiece sanctioned by Trump, tell him what he thinks, the same goes for the rest of the unhappy signals that discuss the inevitable attack. The rapid firing position of the group for the most optimally leveled Trump interpretation of the actions that the window, how troubled the government’s hand, which is accused of decisive life and death, was on charges that they cursed the Great King. .
Naturally swore from the traditional presidential role Appearance at the Dover Air Force Base to recognize the remains of US soldiers who died in action. Hegset was probably the most successful in direction of his boss’s worldview when he stated in the chat that “I think messaging would be tough, no matter what – Nobody knows who the hood is, and so we will need to remain focused on: 1) Biden did not receive 2) Iran’s financing.”
However, Trump’s White House still remains a white home – it means that all the colds of Hegega before Trump does not protect it from the scandal fall. Indeed, his weak assurances of Honolulu came, like two other chat participants, the director of the National Intelligence Director Tuls Gabard and CIA Director John Ratlif, threw him under the bus before Congress. If their questionnaires provoked skepticism about the statement that the signal chat has not included any sensitive and secret information they promptly issued their answers to say that, well,, they There was no such Intel, and in any case, there was a hege that had the powers to determine what was or not classified in chat. (Gabard did not confirm whether it was really included in the chat, but it seems to be another clumsy administration because Goldberg confirmed that she was probably why her subsequent indications at home were slightly less awkward, related to the actual concession, which in the signaling chat section was “Dipshit Chat”, “”error“)
Inept and untrue administration that chat did not provide leaks of classified information, created the following serious unexpected error in the White House messages: release Full Chat transcriptmilitary plans and all, Jeffrey Goldberg and his Atlantic Colleague Shane Harris. (Goldberg continues to lower the name of one CIA official in chat, at the request of Ratcliffe.) Because the administration gets like a gabard and a Ratcliffe, they continue to insist that no sensitive information that has come up in chat, the obvious thing to write, Goldberg and Harris, are mostly unproven:
The statements of Hugset, Gabard, Ratcliff and Trump – have united with the statements made by many administration officials that we are lying about the content of the signals – they made us believe that people should see texts to reach their own conclusions. There is a clear public interest in disclosing information that Trump’s advisers included non -connecting channels, especially since the senior administration’s data are trying to lower the value of messages that were shared.
The judicial -medical question is about finding secret leaks in chat and assigning proper administrative guilt for them will be that the scandal is moving forward in the following days and weeks. On another level is a secondary moment. If different Dimwits Trump had a more prudent conversation – or even just avoid the incomprehensible mistake of adding Goldberg to her chat – this would change the fact that no White House official should do some business business. With all its reinforced security requirements, the application is already the main goal of observing China and Russia – and there is no doubt that such efforts have increased geometric as a result of Goldberg’s history. Indeed, immediately after the 2 White House fateful chat took place, but before the publication of Goldberg’s work – the Pentagon issued a consultation to its employees Hold on the signal Because “Russian hacking groups” penetrated it. (All together now: Pete Hegset knows exactly what he is doing.)
But since the chat clearly made traffic into secret information, it violated the simple strictures of the espionage law, which claims that the planning of the war should take place as part of the set of tough control conditions to prevent hostile observation. Meanwhile, the Law on Federal Reports requires constant consideration for such reflections for public recording – the creator of the group, the national security advisor Michael Watz, was installed in a signal chat to disappear for one to four weeks. American control over the watch on the caretaker Already submitted costume Against Waltz, Gegseta and other chat participants over the violation of the law. This case has been assigned Federal Judge DC James BasbergWho is the judiciary of Maryarta’s judicial judgment from his ruling against the brutal offensive and obviously illegal Operation “White House of Trump” in Salvador, directed at the Venezuelan immigrants.
There is a clear reason that this administration acts on a porous signal platform, and, as always, it returns to the maximum leader of Trump. Trump has a well -documented hatred of the Practice Practice Practice Before Killing White House toilets with Notes about the random meetings. He reminds that his first impeachment (Remember what?) It happened after a reconnaissance officer heard when he had an application for military assistance in Ukraine, when President Floodim Zelensky disagreed to announce the investigation into Hunter Biden’s business deals. And, of course Operating violations of the Law on Federal Records. Well, and speaking of the luxurious Trump’s and military deviations, he too smashed a set of documents In accordance with the MAR-A-LAGO documents, the “presentation concerning military activity in a foreign country” was made before gratification of guests who have no security in their golf compartment in Bedminster, New Jersey. Among these involuntary agents was the director of the GoP Pac Susi Wilz, who entered the Trump re -election chair in 2024 and now acts as the Chief of Staff of the White House. Wils was also on the signaling thread about Yemen’s bombing – and you can be sure she also knows exactly what he is doing.
The hard and chaotic second term Donald Trump is just beginning. In the first month, Trump’s office and his Like -Elon Musk (or this is the opposite?) Proved that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar without checking strength and wealth.
