Israel not happy

https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/israel-supplied-intelligence-in-airstrike-discussed-in-signal-chat-officials-say-9a9e0abf?mod=hp_lead_pos1

Quote:

Israel provided sensitive intelligence from a human source in Yemen on a key Houthi military operative targeted in an attack described by national security adviser Mike Waltz in a Signal chat with senior Trump officials, two U.S. officials said.

Shortly after the U.S. strikes began, Waltz texted that a key target of the attacks, a Houthi missile expert, had been seen entering his girlfriend's building, which he said had been destroyed.

Israeli officials complained privately to U.S. officials that Waltz's texts became public, one U.S. official said.
Israel's role in supplying information that helped track the militant highlights the sensitivity of some disclosures in the texts and raises questions about the Trump administration's contention that no classified information was shared on the Signal chat, a publicly available nongovernmental app.



It's cool…just mark it UNCLASSIFIED//HUMINT

Umm, I'm not sure this unnamed US official knows what privately means.

Don't know if this has been discussed yet...

Disclaimer, and I have said it MANY times... Hegseth shouldn't have put out what he did on Signal.

Doesn't Hegseth have original classification authority over DoD? If that is the case, AS IT WAS WITH TRUMP...

Doesn't him saying something publicly that may have been classified automagically declassify it? He is an original classification authority after all.
Started to type the same thing earlier. EO 13526 are the rules we are currently playing by.

Quote:

Information shall be declassified or downgraded by:
(1) the official who authorized the original classification, if that official is still serving in the same position and has original classification authority;
(2) the originator's current successor in function, if that individual has original classification authority;
so to your point.....the pilot's tweet (Amy) could be 100% correct in that the info was classified to someone at her level, but since SecDef is the original classification authority over DoD, when he released it would suggest a declassification.

ETA disclaimer....the above doesn't change my opinion on the eff up of adding a journalist.

The bottom line to this whole scandal could be that Mike Waltz is something of a technical moron.

Without a doubt.

The fact that they haven't come out with how the reporter got linked in tells me that Waltz was responsible.

Certainly starting to look like the weak link. More than any chatter about Hegseth.

"I won't be surprised if this turns out to be a Trojan Horse situation created by either someone from the prior administration, or a current staffer/mole that was working with Goldberg.

Time will tell."

Years ago, my assistant was a wiz with computers but had to consult her 12 year old nephew to learn how to work her first smart phone.

I typically gloss over anonymously sourced palace intrigue stories, but this one is hilarious to me. It's plainly obvious that Mike Waltz is the source for this story. Dude has an addiction lol.

We win everyday. Today Trump cut off WTO funding. Everyday I wake up to more winning.

I would have fired Waltz not because of the original error, but because I think he lied after the fact. Conservatives should not tolerate lying. We are not liberals. Liberals - every liberal that exists, politician or not - is a lying, worthless POS. There is no truth in them.

Hopefully bleeding on this board is therapeutic because that's as good as it's going to get for you. Nobody gives a crap about this except for liberals. It won't move the needle on the next election. The sooner you realize that the less stressed out your mind will be.

I agree. I don't believe that admitting wrong gives the dems anything. It would be refreshing actually and then you can say "yes, but the dems did this horrible thing and lied about it." We did this little thing and are transparent. Move on.

"involved in" meaning "for the duration", which should have been quite obvious. Nice try, though.

So much winning...as long as you're not invested in the S&P500, here on a student visa, planning on purchasing a car, or employed by any federal agency. Then ya, you're winning with all the things.

This. This is the truly bizarre, broken brain, tribalistic mentality I can't understand. Like, do you honestly believe the Republicans are any better? Politicians lie. All of them. If you're hyperfocused on painting 1 side as totally nefarious and corrupt while the other side is forthright and altruistic...buddy, you're being used. I mean, Trump alone has lied and cheated so many times on a personal and political level I can't fathom how you think Rs are any better than Ds on a scale of honesty.

It was a joke. A reference to a popular Simpsons quote.

Big boys and girls realize actions have consequences. I know liberals were never disciplined as children, so "NO" is seen as a curse word, but "NO."

You have to eat your vegetables. It's not like anyone is forcing you to eat a Michelle Obama school lunch.

Gotcha, so all those students here on visas were fomenting violence and terror. We just accept that as a fact because the twitter told us. No concern over free speech rights here!

But good move ignoring my other points! I wish you continued success in this non stop 'winning'!

So many on this thread have shown that they are no different than what they claim their "enemies" to be. It is funny how so many people want to reference the Biden Administration ineptness as if it somehow excuses their own. Both are wrong. Be better than them.
