Apparently, Hillary said youve got to be kidding me.
So I was wondering if she is the only one that is shocked. DUers, what say you?

That they used a minimally encrypted app surprises the hell out of me.

If you have the app and join a chat, both ends of the call are encrypted.
Probably used Signal because not everyone on the call had access to an encrypted government device that could access the encrypted government VPN and do a proper TEAMs call.
