This cannot be the first Signal call that has been intercepted. I wonder if this went on during the first Trump term. So scary.

I think it can be assumed that it’s been going on from the very beginning. It’s both terrifying and depressing.

Malcolm Nance and Harry Litman together to discuss the debacle of what is to be called signal-gate: pure gold.

Please please please do this again!

This was a great conversation & it goes to show how ridiculous this entire situation & administration truly is. Qualified people were ignored, turned away & fired for these less than mediocre douchebags to compromise national security.

I'm a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, Communications Command. (Signal Corps). One of the first lessons of secure information taught to recruits is: treat any information as classified until it is determined otherwise. The last thing any experienced intelligence professionals would do is assume the opposite. Yet that was pretty much the attitude shown by those being questioned at yesterday's Senate hearing. The other early lesson a recruit to communications is taught is: there is no such thing as secure messaging in an "open" system, such as the Signals app. At least not secure by sensible military or intelligence standards. Yet here you are America. If Trump does plan on conducting the Annexation of Canada: please leave this collection of amateur "intelligence" leadership as-is.

I feel compelled to point out that we can only say “this is the greatest breach of national security” up until now. We can no longer say “ever”, We have to assume it is goig to get worse and, may I say, we also have to assume this is not unintentional. These guys are working against national interest and national security. We can regard them as incompetent clowns or not so incompetent agents of our national destruction.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director, Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), told U.S. House P.S.C.I. on 26 Mar 2025 in its open hearing that “…cartels gangs and other transnational criminal organizations in our part of the world are engaging in a wide array of illicit activity…” but she did not include #47-The Felon’s transnational criminal organization masquerading as a government in her long list of specific “… immediate and directl threats (to) the United States …” nor did she hold accountable herself &/or other hearing witnesses Patel & Ratcliffe, seated to her immediate left & right who are part of that “cartel”. Truly they are all 3 part of the “… increasingly complex threat environment that is threatening us here at home and our interests abroad …” → https://youtu.be/Qfjzf5als_I?t=1667

Many think likewise. Time will come when Chump and Putler have their falling out.

Then rains the fallout.
