Guess what? When you are fully in charge you are fully accountable. When you claim the previous administration is fucking everything up, and the use the exact same process and this happens, you get called to explain yourself.

That's what civilian oversight means. They are adults. If they can't stand the heat, resign.
Ok, well, get yourself all bent out of shape about it.

That didn’t take long.

In theory they are using the the same process. Which is stupid. As I said, you can't take the high ground when you follow in the same footsteps.

But they are in charge now. It's on them for not tightening things up.

They could have at least checked the group members before sending the sensitive info out. Would have taken all of 2 seconds. There are claims that they used Signal so their messages wouldn’t be subject to FOIA, which is also illegal.

Just give them a couple of days for their mental gymnastics to start in an attempt to intellectualize and rationalize this.
They’re gonna say something like “Art of the deal!” or that dump is playing 4d chess or some nonsense.

It shouldn't have been used. Period. Seriously the mighty US govt, with access to unlimited resources and tech, can't run a private communication server for top level officials in this day and age? With encrypted devices?

I will fault this to every admin back to Obama. Remember when he couldn't have his blackberry because of the encryption that the president can't have in his communications? Why the fuck not issue that level of security FOR THIS PURPOSE?

And yes Trump too in his first term.

You think the government doesn't have the tech? These idiots chose to use Signal instead.

I'm going to say something I think might surprise people here....Republicans were right. Hiring people based on their skin colour and gender with a lack of qualifications does lead to disaster....

I mean, when they had POC in leadership roles earned with merit, I don't recall them accidentally leaking war plans to journalists or the Russians....But, you put in Hegesth (alleged alcoholic and woman abuser) and company.....and 8 weeks in, they give up the ghost....Way to go...
