The Hill“This reported disclosure of sensitive military information in a Signal group chat that included a journalist is a five-alarm fire for government accountability and potentially a crime,” Chioma Chukwu, American Oversight’s interim executive director, said in a statement.
“War planning doesn’t belong in emoji-laden disappearing group chats. It belongs in secure facilities designed to safeguard national interests — something any responsible government official should have known. Our lawsuit seeks to ensure these federal records are preserved and recovered. The American people deserve answers and we won’t stop until we get them.”
The suit said it puts the officials “on notice” — and while it is not brought directly under the FRA, it points to a provision of the Administrative Procedures Act allowing (APA) for review of unlawful actions regarding records.
“The APA also authorizes the Court to entertain a claim that the head of the [agency] or the Archivist have breached their statutory obligations to take enforcement action to prevent an agency official from improperly destroying records or to recover records unlawfully removed from the agency,” the suit states.
Given his decisions it actually is, since he's found in favor of Trump cases in the past and was the judge who ordered the release of Hillary Clinton's documents the FBI found, and he gave lenient punishments for the J6 rioters. Donnie Boy's rants and calling him a "radical judge" or whatever are just deflections because the message is always that anyone standing in his way needs to be demonized. That works fine for the Donnie Boy parrots, but less so for everyone else.This is good. Boasberg can now find all parties guilty and remove the entire Trump administration. This is the way the Constitution is supposed to work! If a district judge isn't allowed to dissolve the sitting administration then we simply don't have a democracy.
Thank godTrump tries to take a shit. Is hit with a TRO
As is their right to do, and as conservative groups have done in the past for policies/actions they didn't like.
Remind us again when a reporter was added to any of these communications? Was there a Pentagon warning against using those apps back then? Apps like these should never be allowed for sensitive government communications, and the threat now is even greater than it was in the Obama years.Flashback to 2017, when
@TheAtlantic
called Signal “the gold standard of encrypted messaging” — and admitted it was used by Obama and Hillary Clinton staffers.
Not really, since he isn't the one whose spinning his wheels trying to change the narrative.Jeffrey Goldberg is the desperate Democrats useful idiot.
It's not any less random than MAGA terrorist judges like Alieen Cannon being assigned Trump cases.For real. And if anyone thinks this was a random assignment they're smoking something.
You should ignore her.Not really, since he isn't the one whose spinning his wheels trying to change the narrative.
The useful parroting of a laughable narrative by the administration is far more entertaining.
Aren’t cabinet officials provided with government issued secure comms?Also, while this seems like a good conversation to have, I'm not sure how using a different encrypted messaging software would have prevented the simple human error of adding the wrong "JG" to the group chat.
If there is something better out there, then use that. Maybe something that uses the whole name instead of initials.
Stupidity should always be called out.You should ignore her.
Yeah, that is true.Stupidity should always be called out.
Fast forward eight years…..The lawsuit brought by left leaning watchdog group, American Oversight:

Agreed. There appears to be nothing at all random about this.For real. And if anyone thinks this was a random assignment they're smoking something.
Wednesday, March 26Gabbard, Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel are among officials appearing before the House Intelligence Committee to discuss global threats to the U.S. The hearing was scheduled before The Atlantic’s revelations. “I used an appropriate channel to communicate sensitive information,” Ratcliffe said. “It was permissible to do so. I didn’t transfer any classified information.” |
Was it random when Eileen Cannon got appointed to the Trump documents case?Agreed. There appears to be nothing at all random about this.
How are judges selected in a Trump controlled DOJ?Agreed. There appears to be nothing at all random about this.
So now it’s “sensitive?” Yesterday it was something else. Today Gabbard’s memory is refreshed.From this morning: The Democrats shit show

NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat
The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.www.cbsnews.com
Trump is the one who is "cutting Congress out of the equation entirely" with his grab of the power of the purse.Hey, I'm with you. Cut congress out of the equation entirely, especially when the majority in the House and the Senate are the same as the White House. In such a case the ONLY branch of government we can rely on is the Judicial and they should have absolute, unfettered power. The LAST thing we need in a situation like this is a federal government that serves the people. We need a federal government that serves the government!
Complain to trump and his minions. THEY are the ones who sent the group chat to an editor/reporter at an MSM.Only a political hack would publish messages from a group chat they knew they didn't belong on.
He's the Democrats' biggest hero.
Oh, I dunno. Maybe a special secure room where these types of conversations can take place?What is the alternative to Signal?
