Absolute incompetent, unknowning foreign assets doing grave damage to national security.
SM Damned H.
This fiasco brought to you by the American voter.
I’m sure the Trump administration doesn’t care. They weren’t having the conversation on Signal to hide it from foreign governments, it was to hide it from the American public.

So he’s not just a random idiot like most GOP reps I guess. Not precluding him from being an idiot on account of being a GOP rep though. Kamala won his district so he wouldn’t gain much from sucking Trump’s dick too often.
What are the odds they were included in that chat on purpose?
I would say next to none.
In fairness, Trump likely called Putin and told him personally…
Of course. Fucking synchronous replication for this administration with Russia.
“I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones,” Bacon told CNN’s Manu Raju. “So I just think it’s a security violation, and there’s no doubt that Russia and China saw this stuff within hours of the actual attacks on Yemen or the Houthis.”
This “article” provides zero evidence of the assertion, and just assumes China and Russia own these phones with an on-device compromise? Signal is encrypted, unlike the SMS infrastructure which has been fully owned by China for years. The only known way to compromise it is on a device itself, not by “monitoring” these devices (watching SMS traffic). Or, this pundit knows about secret Signal hacks the rest of the world doesn’t…
Signal doesn’t bridge to SMS any more, so I fail to see how these messages would be intercepted unless these people are walking around with compromised phones. Yes, it’d only take one person in this group to compromise the whole thing, but making this assertion without any explainer is just clickbait.
Cool, hopefully Russia sees all war plans and other such information from now on.
