Summary

Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg rejected National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s claim that Goldberg’s number was accidentally added to a Signal group chat about a U.S. strike on Houthi rebels.

Goldberg called the defense implausible and said Waltz already had his number.

The leak, dubbed “Signalgate,” raised security concerns as it involved classified discussions. Trump denied Waltz offered to resign and defended him.

Critics, including Sen. Mark Warner and Susan Rice, condemned the breach as reckless, with Rice calling it “unprecedented” and grounds for immediate termination in any prior administration.

‪Richard Goldberg: is an expert on Iran, worked in NSC as expert on Iran's nuclear program in first Trump's administration, wrote press release announcing Waltz's nomination, currently works for FDD (a pro-Israeli think tank).

Waltz: currently doesn't have an expert on Iran in NSC, also works for FDD.

Isn't it obvious? Waltz selected the wrong Goldberg.

Yes, but that just sounds like reality-based community type of talk.

What do the unhinged howling monkeys barking into the void and flinging their poo at others feel about the matter?

Ya know ... a lot of things get called unprecedented, but I gotta say, I highly doubt a journalist has ever been included on a classified military strike chat anywhere in the modern world, possibly the whole world, ever.

So ya this is definitely unprecedented.
