Jeffrey Goldberg kept a secret better than Hegseth & Waltz


The conversation was Thursday, the show was Friday and the law-breaking use of Signal and incompetent security was revealed yesterday.

In retrospect, it is astonishing how calm and contained Goldberg was Friday evening on Washington Week which he hosts. I watched it then and had no idea he was sitting on top of a volcano.

This is not a momentary lapse in security. The fact that it happened this way or at all is a hell of a strong indicator they have been using Signal ever since the Inauguration, probably before, but now they are officials. Which means they are purposely and knowingly breaking USA law like Records Acts so they can organize (to the extent "organized" is applicable) the crushing and demolition of the Federal Government, a government that was organized and voted on (by representatives) by the People of the United States of America.

Goldberg kept a secret better than Hegseth, Waltz (National Security Director), Gabbard (National Intelligence Director oxymoron) and the rest. Fire them and hire Goldberg.

Scratch that. Given how The Atlantic magazine has stepped up in recent years and currently, Goldberg is doing an excellent job as the Editor of The Atlantic.

1. And he handled it very thoughtfully in the article, being careful not to endanger anyone in what he revealed

David: Are you concerned about retaliation from the Trump administration because of this story?

Jeffrey: It’s not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society today—we see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industries—there’s too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.

2. Maybe they didn't get instructions on secrecy because Trump fired the security monitors

I mean, everybody's gone, or afraid to say anything.

The Trump crime syndicate believes they are the smartest ones in the room.
They are immune, will get pardons, no one can touch them.
