For fucks sakes...
The fascists that are testifying won't provide the information.
They're refusing.
Goldberg would.
They should call Goldberg up now!!!

(100,132 posts)He will have to weigh his actions against the First Amendment, which mentions his trade by name.
He will also have to weigh his future against the manifest threat of the trump regime, which is best buddies with a man who kills people who oppose him: polonium, Novichuk, defenestration, shooting in plain sight.
I wont tell him via DU what he must do he already did it, with courage. I simply hope for his health and safety and that he doesnt end up in that super-max prison in El Salvador.

(4,018 posts)I wasn't calling for a subpoena...
My take is that Goldberg would be eager to do it... likely in a closed door session so as to preserve security.
We're on the same page y'all!!
Working in the garden today...
Setting up new compost section, mowing, shredding leaves, and dumping grass for the compost.
It'll hit 84 or 85 today!
Beautiful!

(31,718 posts)Its primary purpose wasn't the breech. It was the annual hearing on worldwide threats. It's a regularly occurring event.

(2,145 posts)Its not just that a journalist got added by mistake. That's bad, but the scandal here is that they are using Signal to make war plans and using terrible opsec.
Secondary is that they were openly talking about the war being for optics and unrelated to significant US interests.
The journalist thing was a fuck up, but only focusing on that is just a "sorry we got caught."

It's too important.
He should be fired immediately.

And then that takes you directly to who did THEY tell? Whod they share it with?
and from there, who did one or more of THOSE recipients share it with

(1,047 posts)Jeffrey Goldberg is a great moderator. This is the biggest scoop of the year! It also proves that Hegseth and Gabbard are unqualified. Also, Vance and Rubio participating in an unsecure chat like this is 1000% irresponsible. But, her emails....

(24,261 posts)He has digital records and proof of what happened. That's why the trademark smirks and cocky attitudes are missing from Gabbard, Patel, and Ratcliff this morning. It reminds me of many years ago when Newt Gingrich realized that the R's were being blamed for a government shutdown and his smirk disappeared. He knew he had lost. I see the same from these clowns this morning.

(11,702 posts)Goldberg could release it. But just think about it: timing, targeting, and weapons in an attack is not classified.
Glad she wasnt DNI for the D-Day attack.

(73 posts)Watched the hearing, what a bunch of know-nothings. Apparently Radcliff was sleeping, Gabbard won't even say she was on it, despite knowing there was no classified material. And $Cash is still getting up to speed. He only heard of it last night.
And of course the orange genius knows less that nothing.

(4,018 posts)A good friend suggested to me that defeatism is merely a coward's concession.
The fascists want you to feel defeated.
The fascists want you to see no way out.
The fascists want you to despair.
The fascists want you to relent.
The fascists want you to comply ahead.
The fascists want your total acquiescence.
Reason gives birth to freedom.
Delusion takes that away.
When delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist in application.
This is why the reasoned among us will never desist.
Because in reason's absence our freedoms cease to exist.
Steel your resolve. These are mere skirmishes.
The real battles have yet to begin.
The fight is long.
I'll fight to my last breath.
Here's to you doing the same in your own way.
Above all embrace what you love and hold that dear.
That is where life is lived after all, in the moments we love.

Saying the information was not classified puts a lot of pressure on Goldberg to release it or it's going to disappear real soon.

He was a full scholarship Aggie Corp of Cadets, Corp of Engineers and Signal Corps Texas A&M.
This is a fascist clown show featuring the drug fueled lunatics that escaped from the asylum.
Execution would be his preferred solution for this Nazi problem.
I concur.

(11,734 posts)Know this is going to be crazy talk but maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't be using unsanctioned phone apps to have classified conversations.
That's the real issue.

(16,208 posts)The point is the content of the discussion, the audience and the unsecured communication channels.
Of course Republican owned media will just repeat that no war plans were discussed.
IF the media actually says this (which I highly doubt) then they will say that they cant discuss national security issues publicly.
But the follow-up should be: you already did discuss national security issues publicly. WHY??
