[…] Analysis, Punditry, and News:Atlantic Journalist Reveals Shocking Trump Signal Messages – The American […]
I am sure it must be out there-but has anyone said that perhaps this was all done intentionally by the Trump folks? Imagine the demons in Iran reading all this super secret highly classified discussion and the Houthis then realizing that there was NOTHING they could do to stop this. and perhaps them scurrying around to move and hide things- all this carefully observed by satellite monitoring?

“I am sure it must be out there-but has anyone said that perhaps this was all done intentionally by the Trump folks?”
I have not heard this discussed much, yet…that WAS one of my first thoughts. It would be just like Trump. Calculated deep fake. Make a major public “oopsie”, then reveal the distraction from something else later. Use the media’s own suspicion against them.
Only trouble is, …you’d expect conservatives to have received a “psst…don’t comment, just let the mainstream media run wild” if that happened. Yet most everyone has discussed it, progressive and conservative.
I don’t honestly know what to think. If it was a mess-up, …it does have some serious potential implications.
Biden Administration added Signal and it was widely used. I would like to think that the Trump Administration chucked all the office phones, computers, etc.,used by the Biden Admin. The new machines for Trump offices should have been checked for bugs.
While on active duty I worked on flag staffs. The flag or general did not dial up themselves. The aide, flag sec, his exec assistant or the flag writer did that. The most senior flag in rank got on last. Of course that was a long time ago.
In the recent brouhaha either the equipment was/is corrupted or there is a mole, a Biden holdover perhaps, in the organization. I’d be surprised if any of the principals would be flushed, but lower down yes, if the slip was done on purpose. No classified material was released. Though embarrassing to the Trump Administration, President has down played it. The Dems with the media will try to keep this in the news as long as they can. The lefties in Congress have made fools of themselves.
My sons and I use Signal for texting. My husband doesn’t text. My older son felt Google was not secure for his business. So far he is pleased with Signal encryption.
