This cracks me up. You think Cabinet level position guys set up the meeting? I don't know anyone above a regional manager that sets up their own zoom calls. Some poor twenty something year old staffer is having the worst week of their life, all because they fat fingered a leftist into a chat.

Ben Shapiro read that word for word on his podcast yesterday morning. I don't think this is new information.

There's nothing there. Times, no location or target info. Common strike "packages" and operating procedure. Tempest in a teacup

So I guess Trump is also releasing Top Secret info when he says he's gonna rain all hell on Hamas or the Houthis if they don't comply with a demand? Really? That is considered War Plans?

This bull**** story has lasted longer in the news cycle already than both of the assassination attempts on Trump last year, combined.

I couldn't even find one of my regular conservative podcasts this am that wasn't somehow still yapping about it. Make it stop!

Unsurprising though... give it a few days and the left will forget this and move on to the new, cool outrage.

Don't like krassenstein but he shared all of the message from the new drop.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic @TheAtlantic has just released the FULL Text Message Chain.

I have provided all texts in this post and the thread below:

Damn

---

Charpie, where is the info on GPS coordinates of targets, etc...

That text is nothing but a discussion of generic policy position - Vance was opposed to the strikes for exmaple - and impact of the lane closures based on when the strikes might occur.

General Jack D. Ripper said:

Oh lord. This could be bad. And I can assure the media and the left are going to have an absolute field day with this.

---

Read the texts. Its a nothingburger. Goldberg lied which anyone with a brain suspected.

this is certainly a bad situation, but it makes JD look level headed and willing to state his opinion in contrast to others

I could get with nothing burger if all this was after the fact, but DAMN! This goes against everything Trump says about im not going to talk about what we are going to do. This is some deep kimchi mess that is not going away.

Jesus Christ this is Bad. Hegseth provided Operation details directly in the chat with the reporter: pic.twitter.com/5NIEUFFa0a

The only thing there is timing. Without target location or even target identity it is useless. This is nothing.

You might want to look at the tweets below your post.

Also, with the information coming out some posters are painting themselves in a corner.

"There were no strike time or locations!! This is nothing burger."

Twitter post.

"There were no strike locations!"

I really hope this guy doesn't have strike locations.

NM - already covered above

Still don't see what the big deal is

Charpie posted up a nothing burger with the word "Damn", to which I responded.

Ok, next step. Present the phone to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees for validation.

You good with that?

First, shouldn't have been discussed on Signal.

Second, if that is all, that is a big nothingburger besides the timing, which is of little use to anyone besides knowing when an attack MIGHT be coming. Not where, how many, etc.

It's not nearly as big as the media et al are making it out to be. If there is more, I would rethink.

I'm not good with anything. My mind is just blown that they were using a commercial app for this. The fact that a reporter was in the group chat just makes it odder.

I don't want this distraction for the admin.

The only morons that think this is a big deal are the same ones that don't know what a woman is. Is it slightly embarrassing? Yes. Does it make Walz look like a dumbass? Yes. Is it a big ****ing deal? NO.

Move on. This too shall pass.

Let me get this straight, the same guy that wrote this hit piece has the goods to justify his article and holds on to them hyping the big takedown and then he releases this and it goes splat ? Yeah get the fries and a drink to go

All I want to know is how did he get in. That definitely needs to be dealt with.

Krassenstein is a radical leftist bomb thrower. Almost every poster on this board has more credibility.

We all agree the reporter should not have been a part of any discussion. The app can be used depending on info being exchanged. "Commercial" is irrelevant.

I'm surprised you simply take this guys word that those texts are real. To each his own.

The story as of now is that he was invited in by a staffer my mistake.

This is exactly right. The only issue here is group membership verification.

Everyone talking about the app like it is this unsecure piece of junk.

It is a very secure platform. But shouldn't be used for operational/secret/TS information.

It uses the Signal Protocol which is open source, and there have not been any huge red flags(that I know of). It is a very mature system for Secure End-to-End encryption. Similar to a VPN, but just for the messages.

No one outside of whoever is in the group or single individuals for direct messages can decrypt the messages.

This algorithm is used to generate new keys for every message, ensuring that if an attacker compromises a key, only the messages encrypted with that specific key are compromised, not future or past messages.

And also, message self delete after a predetermined period of time. On this group chat, it was set to 4 weeks.

The idea that the times when the attacks would take place and what assets would be utilized isn't some level of classified information is preposterous.

I have that guy blocked. Why anyone would allow his posts to show up in their timeline is beyond me.

If that's true, that's a problem.

The DoD uses commercial software in weapons systems. The issue isn't the software or app that was used. It was the protocols as to HOW they were using it.
