Summary
The Atlantic has published unredacted attack plans (non-paywall link) shared in a Signal group chat of senior Trump officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg released the full texts after officials denied sharing war plans or classified information, arguing transparency was necessary amid accusations of dishonesty.
The leaked messages detailed U.S. military strikes targeting Houthis in Yemen.
Eh, they could have had a service forwarding the messages to a database running on one of the group’s member’s devices.
Yeah sure thing. The guy who has already been caught mishandling classified documents… The guy who literally ate the notes from a meeting he had with Putin so nobody would see them.
Right.
Holy crap that’s insane I had to look it up and yes apparently that happened. wtf there’s so much news I can’t keep up
And that’s from last term when things were more chaotic, with less focused effort towards dismantling everything.
Lol. That would be uncharacteristic at this point. They need to show us the servers before I believe that
They can’t. The server is in the basement of a friend’s house (not a government employee) because they got a really good deal on it!
Buttery males?
Surely the server is in the magalago bathroom with the stolen classified documents?
And how likely do you think that is? Given the clown show that has gotten them to this point.
It wouldn’t have required any of the main player’s active effort. The supporting security establishment could have set up such a system.
Again, how likely do you think that is?
I’d give it a 20-30% likelihood. We shouldn’t rule it out.
you would think they would then be using a government hosted platform, instead of signal, but i guess that makes too much sense.
Don’t worry, given their apparent compliance to threat-model, it’s most likely stored somewhere on an adversarial database. Compliance by idiocy.
