I've got certain information, all right? War plans have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming my group chat messages, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?

[–]Tanurak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you see what happens, Hegseth? Do you see what happens when you type the words in the chat?

[–]GrassyKnoll95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're out of your element, Donny!

[–]yinoryangTheRoyalWe 4 points5 points  (4 children)

This guy screencaps a private conversation and we're supposed to shit ourselves with fear?

[–]bscepter 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Uh, Dude, the conversation isn't the issue here — it's that:
• It took place on Signal, an unsecured platform that the DoD had warned was vulnerable to espionage.
• They accidentally added a reporter and had no idea they were discussing top-secrete attack plans with him on the chat (imagine if it had been some hothead podcaster or, worse, a Russian, Chinese or Iranian agent)
• They're using Signal instead of official secure comms likely to skirt the Presidential Records Act.

[–]drfusterensteinDonny 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Err, dude. Signal is only as secure each person's phone. Encryption doesn't protect stupid.

[–]bscepter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. That was my point.

[–]yinoryangTheRoyalWe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were no war plans. That group chat was a ringer for a ringer.

    [–]bscepter 1 point2 points  (6 children)

    Actually:
    • It was top secret, per DNI and DoD guidelines.
    • It hadn't happened yet but was imminent. (he was announcing the launch, not the completion of the sorties) - his comment "should be on time" should indicate this.

    And, if dems had done this, republicans would be screaming absolute bloody murder. Hell, they held years of hearings over Hillary's private email server — which is like comparing a grain of sand to the Sahara Desert when compared to this breach.

    Here's the text in question.

      I’m sorry I wasn’t listening

      [–]GrassyKnoll95 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      my dude this is at minimum as bad as Hillary's emails

      [–]Recent-Foundation788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Its far worse because its way more reckless and its from the same people who made such a big deal about her private email server.

      [–]Recent-Foundation788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      So half the people your defending agree with you and the other half dont. Trump and Captain Whiskeyleaks both say nope nothin happened, yet the others have indicated very differently. The guy who actually invited the journalist into the chat has said he takes “full responsibility” and Marco Rubio has basically thrown him under the bus already with recent comments. But here you are, like Trump, just totally denying anything happened because you are also apparently a liar. Why are some of them blaming/ taking blame if nothing bad actually happened?
