John, this Signal stuff you’ve been seeing isn’t just about the National Security Advisor accidentally adding a journalist to a group chat — though that’s bad enough.
It’s not just that they were texting war plans on hackable devices — though that’s much worse.
Honestly, it’s not just that they violated operational security measures and standards for sensitive and classified information — and that’s a huge problem.
It’s that they endangered the security of the men and women in harm’s way. It’s that they could have compromised the mission objective. Most importantly here, if we know they’ve done it this time… it’s likely they’ve been doing it for the last two months.
There’s no telling who’s been listening in, reading every text.
This is amateur hour. We’re damn lucky the pilots on that mission and the sailors and marines on ships offshore didn’t make the ultimate sacrifice that day. The Trump Administration’s carelessness and incompetence put their lives at risk.
These people are not serious, and we need to clear house.
We’ve got to start with the Secretary of Defense. He was unqualified and unprepared for this job to start, and it was him who sent detailed war plans over unsecured channels to begin with.
Semper Fi,
Ruben
