Signal Timeline

 Much ado about the Signal timeline, with more details leaking out.  Goldberg is trying to do as much damage as he can before becoming entirely irrelevant.  It seems USAToday has a timeline of the chat.

According to USAToday, Pete Hegseth revealed at 11:44 am that an attack would be ongoing.

Two hours later, at 1:45 pm, the attack occurred.



Okay, we are just seeing a summary, so we don't know exactly what had been revealed.  If it was a deep, dark secret at 11:45, within two hours, the Houthis knew that they had been attacked.  It was no longer a secret.  Everyone knew.  Even if the Houthis were plugged in to the chat, I doubt they could have done much in two hours.    Talking about national security on Signal is probably a bad idea, and including a leftie journalist is a terrible idea.  I'm sure that the principals have learned a good lesson from this debacle.

I'm reminded of the greatest national secret ever kept.  When the Allies invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944.  Ike and his generals kept it a secret until the evening before, but when the paratroopers started landing, even the Nazis suspected that something was happening.  By daylight, they know what was happening. Military secrets don't last long when the bombers or missiles are overhead.

Read the rest, bootlicker. I’m a Republican. And what about ism about killary doesn’t work. Signal isn’t approved on gov devices. This was a breach. They need to go. You are so far out of your lane they you’re just embarrassing yourself.

Intel guy here. The idiocy and laziness involved in this is impossible to overstate. They were beyond wrong and need to go. Even if the intel was a nothing burger they proved to be absolute morons.

Peter, over at BRM has acquired these people also. Signal is used everywhere in DC gov. These are phones that were from the prior administration. So whoever that phone belonged to could be a known leaker. Or a dem underling who stuck the number in there to embarrass Trump.
