"Accident" "mistake" my ass. Allowing them to simply say

either of those things is letting them off the hook.

You shouldn’t get to put an inexperienced alcoholic over national defense and then shrug away the inevitable repercussions.

The majority-Republican-owned media should do their fucking jobs for once and investigate this with at least as much energy as they used investigating R. Kelly.

Let the American people know exactly what happened, the context of this situation relative to the history of American security forces and and what’s being done about it. They should not let up until it’s been thoroughly investigated.

It isn't even neglect or carelessness. They are purposely jeopardizing security.

One must consider why, and act upon that.

They did that on purpose and it was crime. They were by law required to be in SCIF or using similarly protective government equipment to communicate.

Also, they were by law required to preserve the records of their conversation, not have some third party app automatically erase these GOVERNMENT RECORDS after 4 weeks.

... imagine if the person who did this was: Hillary Clinton.

Repeat as necessary.
