The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Savage. Wasnt it Babe Ruth that pointed his bat to the outfield fence, calling his home run just before he cranked.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he was secretly let in on purpose. Pretty interesting insight if all of that checks out. Also, if they didn’t mean to include him in there this was a pretty large mistake that turned out ok. It wouldn’t be unprecedented. A much smaller level.

Biden told Ukrainian paratroopers they would be meeting ours on the ground shortly. That was just a precursor to ww3 and had to be walked back, but very few reported that.

If this actually happened ( coming from the Atlantic who knows) it is a very dangerous mistake with U.S. Military lives on the line.

Seems odd a journalist of any stripe would be invited to a Signal group chat with cabinet officials... about military operations.

The mistake has been confirmed by a spokesperson for the DOD.

I am always depressingly surprised and appreciative when anyone on here acknowledges that the administration they support badly screwed something up. Thank you for doing what so many others struggle to do.

Anyone who whined about Hillary's emails but makes excuses for this monumental intelligence failure should be forever dismissed as an unserious person.

Pretty sure the signal app isn't approved to share classified information like this. They make a SCIF for a reason. I bet when DJT is questioned on it, he will attack the journalist.

That's exactly what he did...as of 2:41 EST today he was saying he didnt know anything about it. I knew about it before I finished my coffee this morning...

Poor on the folks involved via the Trump Administration, a poorly self inflicted wound, glad it didn't cause any issues

Surprised the Atlantic held this news until after we carried out the mission, now they can bask Trump and his administration over the head for weeks. they will be happy

Sure we will see all the security administrations from former administrations that are anti Trump on CNN for weeks commenting on this for weeks

All folks involved via the Trump administration need to take a breath and follow protocols, this protocol (correct one)for security reasons needs to be followed

Hope they tighten up the ship. No victory laps re national security blunders, even from haters like me.

Isn’t the first time a mistake like this occurred. Why use a signal chat though? Lol

Trump needs to tighten up their security and make these young bucks more responsible for their actions. Some asses need to be tightened up in my opinion.

Secretly giving out classified info on purpose on an insecure message app is dumber than doing it on accident

I totally agree. This is really indefensible. I was being more tongue in cheek here. Trump invited the Chinese leader to the White House to be present when he bombed Syria. I was making a reference to that. He isn’t afraid to be a crazy wild card. That being said, Trump wasn’t even part of the group chat. He was being briefed but he had no part in this other than hiring the folks who make the mistake.

This is a very bad mistake by our security team. But it’s also just something to start the Dem pigs to start squealing again. Wait a few and they will calm down.
