Today DNI Directo Tulsi Gabbard testified there  was nothing classified in the communications & SOD “Pete”, the former morning cable tv morning news host, said repeatedly it wasn’t classified at all. Dir. CIA Ratcliffe testified no mistake was made. Have fun bringing evidence.

Nope.  There is a ton of information which gets redacted which.is not classified.  Information which is CUI or PII is sensitive data but not classified.

Right. That was all public knowledge! Again adding the reporter to the chat, that he had to tell them he was on after these people were just chatting away on, was the sign of a well oiled machine. Keep up the good work, Pete!

The best course of action here is to say we are reviewing this and just STFU. Another thing will take its place soon enough.

They invited him to their Facebook meetup.

What's checkmate about it?  Someone gets added to a chat inadvertantly, reveals the private info to the public, makes a giant thing out of it, hearings seem needed so Dems can jerk off in front of cameras, and now it's no big deal?

[Voltaire 5,203]

Classified? Not Classified?

Whether classified information was included in that chat room or not, in the end none of it leaked.

Goldberg himself, when reporting on it, made a choice to self-censor and nobody else shared an iota more than he did.

Okay, nobody died except the bad guys.  classified/not classified info leaked to a reporter on a specific mission.  He published it.  Whitehouse fessed up on the f---up.  Mistakes were made that shouldn't have been made.

Anything else?

And what happened on the mission? 

[thegeneral 2,950]

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee called for the Pentagon inspector general to investigate the chat on an expedited basis. On this they added “The information as published recently appears to me to be of such a sensitive nature that based on my knowledge, I would have wanted it classified”.

Oopsie. My bad from Three Sheets Pete.

J6 was a horrendous day.  I never thought I would see our government entrap thousands of citizens exercising their rights and round them up and railroad them through show trials and treat them like animals.   Perhaps the lowest our government ever sunk.  And if you don't believe that I exactly what happened, you are one clueless bastard.

I find th efficacy of his work in this instance to fall below journalistic standards, JMHO. But perhaps you like his approach here, why might you find his lack of follow up or verbal alert to those involved to be acceptable? The SPJ states they should do so.....so toodoes the Reuters Handbook, and BBC editorial guidlines.....but dont let standards for journalists interrupt your desire for the denigration of a political player you dislike....sacrificing standards for political aims seems to be part and parcel for liberalism today.

He could have stayed in the chat beyond the point he did. He removed himself. When you remove yourself it notifies whoever set the group up that said person has left the chat. So Waltz saw that Goldberg had left the discussion which should've triggered to him "Why was he here in the first place? I better check this out." He could've called him and asked the question and didn't. Goldberg had a story dumped in his lap and as a reporter- one I may add who clearly outlined in the original article the entire thought process of his thinking this was some elaborate set up or something- he has a duty to follow up on it. The reporter in this case did nothing wrong.

15 hours ago, Fnord said:

<--- That's for your last line.

I will not defend him not removing himself from the chat; if he did anything wrong, it was that. But he's a reporter. Reporters get stories from sources that shouldn't officially be talking to journalists. This is how the media is supposed to operate: speak truth to power.

I'd also retort that blaming the reporter for a gross lapse of OPSEC is a prime example of your desire to defend political players you like.

That is the strong point here. RLLD is loathe to call Republicans out for anything. He is cautious to do it here despite the fact that this blunder is all in their court.

But we saw the general process of this from all the traditional MAGA mooks on the board.

Garbage whataboutism scenarios....Reporter's fault....Goldberg is lying.....Waltz didn't do it, a staffer did....there were no war plans....it was all declassified......just an endless circle of bullshit lies when we know if the Biden admin had pulled this it would be apoplectic here calling for everyone's head.

It was a mistake, but things went as planned.

Also had this had happened under Biden, Goldberg would have never released the texts.  It would have been squashed.
