Democratic senators demanded answers from leaders of the US intelligence community on Tuesday on how the top editor of the Atlantic was added to a group chat discussing airstrikes in Yemen, arguing that the “sloppy, careless” leak put national security at risk.
The unusual story broke on Monday, when the Atlantic published a piece by its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, who said he had been added to the group on the messaging app Signal, and watched as accounts that appeared to match top Trump administration officials, including Vice-President JD Vance and the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, debated and then coordinated a wave of bombings targeting the Houthis in Yemen.
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, and John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, both of whom were also in the group, appeared on Tuesday before the Senate intelligence committee for an annual hearing on threats facing the United States, which Democrats used to accuse them of failing to protect sensitive details of US military operations.
OoooooooOOOHHH SNAP! Demanded answers!!
Y’all, I’m feeling a statement coming on that’s “very concerned”!!
They did not even say please.
Have tney even once said “thank you” to the republiQans?!
I’m sure they’re gonna hop right to it.
Yeah but after a few more statements and they will be forced to give them a demerit. And if they get too many demerits? That’s right… A verbal warning! You don’t even want to know what happens after a verbal warning.
We are seconds away from a “blasting”.
To think! And what’s next then? The dreaded SLAM??!
They demand answers.
“We made a mistake. We’re also not sorry.”
Democrats: “Okay, got an answer.”
So what will happen if they don’t meet those demands? Will democrats approve their funding bills without question … again?
I’m not upset that Democrats are demanding answers, it’s that they are demanding answers for the wrong fucking questions.
They are buying the line that adding the reporter to the group was the main and only slip up. The problem is that messages of this nature should not be exchanged using a civilian service in the first place. Every one of them fucked up and Democrats had better demand answers from each of them.
Yeah. And how are journalists supposed to make FOIA requests on what this regime is up to, when their conversations are permanently deleted after 7 days?
My brother kissing with his girl on my couch while my kids are there is sloppy and careless. This is a removal from office.
ANSWERS?!?!?!
ANSWERS?!?!?
WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL DO WE NEED TO FLOOD.
REMOVAL OF OFFICE. INDICTMENTS. COURT MARSHALLED. ARRESTED. IMPRISONED.
WHAT THE FUCK.
SEND COPS
Will they SLAM the incompetence of their republican brethren? Maybe some condemnation with a sprinkling of indignation?
Why is it just Democrats?
“Demand”.
-Chuck Schumer!
America continues to ignore that ISP’s and their entire infrastructure is hacked. Where infecting end devices is no longer a problem to intercept text messages etc in real time before encrypting them. Any efforts to do something about this were immediately stopped by trump when he took office so that spying can continue in peace. Russia and China are not dependent on such leaks if they are in the systems anyway, but there is no uprising. Whereby that represents the far greater danger. The priorities of the Americans are crazy
I wish they could put the few Rs that are concerned about this together to make a bipartisan show at fixing things.
They demand, but won’t do shit.
