Speaker Johnson: "I think it would be a terrible mistake ..."

[speak easy]

“I think it would be a terrible mistake for there to be adverse consequences on any of the people that were involved in that call,” Johnson said.

“They were trying to do a good job, the mission was accomplished with precision.”

They were trying to do a good job!!

[Wingus Dingus]

1. This is insanity.

[Torchlight]

2. Translation into English: 'our incompetence did not deny us an accidental victory!'

[Basso8vb]

3. You should all be in prison, Mike.

[OLDMDDEM]

4. Nothing surprises me anymore. This just sits at the top of the list until the next bit fuck up happens.

[CrispyQ]

9. Right? Everyone just shrugs it off & wonders what Donald will do next.

I hardly read the articles anymore, just the headlines & that's exhausting enough.

[OLDMDDEM]

15. I agree. Nothing will happen to Trump over this or any other surprise that WILL happen in the next 46 months.

[lapfog_1]

5. The Hypocrisy shines like cat turds in the moonlight.

If I had discussed something, anything, about my classified work in a social media group chat... not only would I have been arrested, I would likely just now be petitioning for release from federal prison.

And I wasn't in those sort of meetings about DOD actions or plans.

[Initech]

6. This whole administration is a terrible mistake.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Johnson awards them a participation trophy. . . . . nt

[UpInArms]

8. A good job of destroying our national security

F*** you, crapweasel

[SheltieLover]

10. What was the mission? To allow pootin to evesdrop?

[haele]

11. They all belong to the Legion of the MWM club ...

Mediocre White Men.
Immature, insecure, and Hypocrites -all of them.

[Midnight Writer]

12. Tell it to the thousands of government employees who were fired FOR DOING THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY.

Tell it to the prosecutors and law enforcement fired for daring to investigate the crimes of Trump and his supporters, as the law requires.

Tell it to the people who worked their asses off their entire lives, paid into Social Security for decades, and are now being told that because there is only $2.7 trillion left in the SS Trust Fund that we need to cut benefits and privatize the whole program.

Tell it to the people who are on Medicaid, through no fault of their own, who will not be able to get healthcare for themselves or their families because you decided, in the name of Jesus, that tax cuts for the wealthiest is more important than healthcare for the poor.

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. Admirable "Intent", in his mind, is sufficient defense for criminal behavior to warrant no adverse consequences.

Better go rewrite a ton of criminal codes.

[newdeal2]

14. For some reason, he reminds me of those moms

Who cover for their sons when they get into serious trouble.

“Boys will be boys”

[sinkingfeeling]

16. They only care about the bombing, not the security breach.

[ScratchCat]

17. And these criminals were INSISTING

That Hillary Clinton be prosecuted for forwarding three mis-marked, lowest-level classified emails to other State Department officials who didn't have the right security clearance. This is FAR BEYOND three mis-marked emails classified as "sensitive" material.

[NCDem47]

18. Repubs will put this whole affair right down the memory hole.

They know they can ride out any storm. Just deny and deflect long enough until next thing (good or bad). This won;t even be a speedbump. Voters won't care or remember. Republicans will come home like lemmings next election.

It's DEMOCRATS who get slayed on the alter for any transgression. Don't we all know that?

[Wiz Imp]

19. Of course Republicans are completely ignoring the elephant in the room.

This was a massive breach of national security. And it's likely not the first time they did it. Everything points to them using unsecure channels for all communications. There were national security details discussed on that chat that any nefarious actor in the world could have easily accessed. Just because the action in Yemen didn't appear to be affected, doesn't mean that information wasn't shared that could still have dire consequences out into the future. Every single one of them should lose their jobs along with anyone who defends them.

[Emile]

20. Taking responsibility is not in their DNA.

[BidenRocks]

21. Translation

IOKIYAR!

[Swede]

22. So let's leave the country's security in their incapable hands.

What awful hypocrites

[La Coliniere]

23. Thus speaks the hypocrite royale...

if it were Biden or Obama’s administration who perpetrated such an egregious breach of security they would be calling for heads to roll and impeachment to commence immediately. He and his posse of criminal hypocrites sicken me to no end. Is it just me, but Johnson puts out the weirdo vibes of a man who has plenty to hide. I cringe when I hear him speak and see those deeply creepy eyes behind his spectacles.
