Somebody check my logic [View all]

We know Russia tried to hack Signal at some point. Suppose they succeeded.

I think trump himself and at least 3 cabinet members on this signal chat are either very sympathetic towards Russia, Russian assets or actual Russian spies.

Suppose they WANT Russia to have access to our military planning.

Wouldn't it be convenient to use a commercial platform that you know Russia has access to, than go through the risk of setting up some other way to leak important information? If they get caught it's just a whoopsie thing and not espionage.
