Clown show: White House inadvertently texted top-secret Yemen war plans to journalist

[Hodad]

Guardian

Senior members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have been involved in a serious security breach while discussing secret military plans for recent US attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen.

In an extraordinary blunder, key figures in the Trump administration – including the vice-president, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard – used the commercial chat app Signal to convene and discuss plans – while also including a prominent journalist in the group.

Signal is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information.

 

Buttery males!!🤣

[gatomontes99]

Yep. That's a major fùck up.

Hegseth says none of this happened.

Any wonder the Five Eyes partners are wary of what they now share with the US.

After Hegseth promised them 100% security. This is honestly so dumb--on so many levels--our intelligence allies will understand exactly why their concerns were justified. Actually, their concerns were understated. Now they know.

Well, maybe if Trump had hired someone trustworthy and qualified (instead of an abusive, drunk TV pundit) Hegseth would be right, and none of it would have happened. Oh, the road not taken...

See... you couldn't just stick to the fact, nope, you had to inject your own lies.

You're FOOL to believe Hegseth. Easy for him to deny it when if he didn't set it up, he would not know it happened.

Until he checked the distribution list, IF he knows how  to do that. LMAO

Supposedly Mike Waltz set it up.

 

[CdnFox]

Well that's pretty bad. I wonder how that even happens, like somebody must have realized that the reporter was there.

It happened because Trump nominated INCOMPETENTS to his cabinet.

Everyone else knew that, and you think you're so smart but can't figure that out.... LMAO

I'm smart enough to know that it's unlikely that the cabinet itself chose the platform or vetted the invitation list.

Which makes me wonder how whoever did could possibly miss what was happening

Obviously NO ONE vetted the invitation list. Probably Waltz just picked a previous one without looking at it.

Seems pretty unlikely. the staff isn't new, they're there to prevent this kind of thing.

Who could have foreseen that putting a drunken FoxNews TV host in a sensitive position might be a bad idea?

Who could have foreseen the same people lying about Hegseth before now would still use this as an opportunity to keep lying about him?

Did FOS LIES not tell you about Hegseth's drinking problem? Maybe it was too embarrassing that his FOS LIES CO HOSTS often smelled liquor on his breath when he showed up for the weekend morning show. 🤮

You have to pretend he never worked for FoxNews or was a drunk? That must be awkward.

He's probably referring to the wives and mistresses Hegseth abused, because way too many people SAW, and KNEW about his drunkenness.

I thought being a drinkin' fùckin' fightin' machine was a de rigueur qualification for military service.

But of course it did happen amd the White House confirmed it and Hegseth knew it happened too because he was in the chat.
 

But he did the usual MAGA scumbag response which not only is “LIE AND DENY”but to also go on the attack claiming fake news conspiracy, denouncing and smearing the reputation of the truth-teller.

You have to ignore all the people he worked with on record saying he was not a drunk and listen to anonymous sources that were directly contradicted by the facts and evidence on the record. 

Why?

Because you are a liar here.

But it’s bigger than that because they should not be discussing and sharing these documents on a commercial app in the first place. There are very strict rules about this stuff. Unfortunately Trump has appointed people who are so grossly unqualified for the job not only do they not know or care about the rules they have open contempt for the very idea of rules… at least for rules applying to them.  This attitude is part of MAGA culture.

OK, give us the names of all these people who saw and knew about his drunkenness.

Name the "co-host" that said this. 

You can't. No one did. You have anonymous sources that were not a host, but just some random person affiliated with the show that has been refuted by the actual co-hosts who are on record.
