Another bit I think people are missing… Signal is not a government contracted app. They’re trying to avoid written records that can be FOIAed
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.
And add that to the list, how many things are on there anyway ?
In this case, sending of Top Secret information reaches a much higher level of lawbreaking though.
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
The funny part to me is the guy who got the texts thought it was AI spam at first because it’s just too stupid. It really is “who’s texting me?” for real.
Obviously fake. Not enough alcohol in frame 1.
Alcohol doesn’t count if you balance it with coke.
Excuse me I can see your liver bulge from here
he maybe very tolerant to alcohol to the point it doesnt get him drunk.
I feel like I’m actually going crazy.
I keep thinking this means they’re actively AVOIDING using proper channels- isn’t that- I mean- fuck I don’t wanna say it but I’m going to.
Isn’t that- borderline treasonous?
They took away Obama’s Blackberry just for this clown shit to happen.
Imagine replying to war plans like a teenage girl with emotes.
💣👌
🙌🇺🇲🦅🏆
Smh. Makes you wonder what else they said in those signal chats.
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🤮
Lmao oh my goodness, I have been waiting patiently for the memes!!!
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.
One of these fucks was in Russia.
What the fuck guys https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-envoy-steve-witkoff-signal-text-group-chat-russia-putin/
Traitor scum
ok that one was hilarious. they werent even vetting who was on the damn group chat.
Who was the intended recipient? Why do they have each others personal Signal accounts? Its all fucked.
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
This meme got my high ass gigglin so hard. But itd wild because how fucked that is
But what was the reason for leaving the chat and not collecting even more incriminating shit?
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.
The only good thing those clowns let behind is meme-inspiration
Anyone got any links/screenshots that aren’t behind some paywall bullshit?
I mean you can use ublock and a javascript blocker
Just imagine if Biden or Hilary or Obama did this?
They went nuts over Hunter Bidens laptop for ageeees, this will be forgotten in a week.
Those guys are managing a whole country even worse than I manage my label 😆🤘🏻
