    Waltz admitted to doing it. They admitted to using a fucking app over established communications to avoid being on the record. That’s your investigation. Luckily it’s so simple I bet even musks teenagers could figure it out.

      Yeah, but they’re not being paid to uncover that particular truth. Watch them somehow lock up the journalist over this.

      They admitted to using a fucking app over established communications to avoid being on the record

      January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day. Trump releases a statement on his top priorities for his presidency:

      https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/01/president-trumps-america-first-priorities/

      President Trump’s America First Priorities

      DRAIN THE SWAMP

      President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law.

      March 11, 2025. Jeffrey Goldberg receives chat group invitation for Cabinet-level officials for planning attack on Yemen.

      I see that top Trump priorities on swamp-draining lasted — assuming, perhaps generously, that this was the first such incident with Signal — almost seven weeks.

      Well, okay. I don’t know about the weaponization of government against political rivals. I seem to recall what looked like rather a lot of that, actually. But at least the document retention.

      You are giving Musky’s teenagers way too much credit.

    Looking at [making up a reason for] how this happened

    Is how I read that. Probably with the goal to throw the journalist in a camp.

    You don’t need a technical mind to find an error with terminally stupid and incompetent users.

      But you might need one to create a way of covering up that incompetence

    Holy shit this isn’t a technical problem it’s a problem of them all blatantly ignoring any and all security standards. "Oh this Signal thing says it is encrypted, let’s use that. Hey everyone download this app off the app store and we will discuss bombing another country on it.’

    “You’ve been added by Michael Waltz”

    Even if we pretend Musk and his group of children aren’t incompetent, this isn’t hard.

    “How did this happen!?”

    Your leaders are absolute fucking morons, that’s how. There really isn’t anything to actually investigate here.

    [That Star Wars meme]

    Anakin: It’s embarrassing how our plan for genocide leaked.

    Leia: You’re embarrassed about the genocide, right?

    The better technical mind would’ve avoided the security leak to begin with.

    “We ordered the chief pimp to investigate the sex trafficking scandal.” Sure, what could go wrong?
