Waltz adding the reporter was a mistake.
Using Signal in the first place was not a mistake. It was a willful decision.
And on what I still suspect is a personal phone (Tulsi and Pete have refused to answer that question), is way beyond a mistake.
I'm not blaming him. I'm saying reporter or not, he should have identified himself and let them know. He still could have written a story about accidentally being added. But to stay quiet and basically eavesdrop is just wrong.
if you thought it was a scam, would you identify yourself? Obviously when the strike occurred, it became obvious that it was legit.
Why is that ridiculous? It’s ridiculous not to say hey I’m not supposed to be on this chain. You dumb shits added me
I haven’t read his reporting. Is that how it went down? Or did he look at his messages and it was all already there?
He explained it clearly in his original piece.
Hell the admin was originally trying to call it a hoax and attacking the reporter even with all the screenshots.
How well you think a report with no evidence included would have gone over? Trump would be screaming FAKE NEWS
He said clearly he thought the messages were a hoax. Who the hell wouldn't?
Not until his messages started blowing up from Hegseth on the day of the attack (days after the original messages).. And then the attack actually happened did he realize it was actually real.
I don’t believe he thought it was a hoax. And twenty please remember I don’t have time to read the OP etc. I just scan posts here along with my group texts and make snap judgments. Often on preconceived biases
Lol. Ok nevermind then. So just shit posting? All the stuff you are talking about was all detailed in the original article written by Goldberg. Timelines, hoax, etc....
I’m going to read it now. I’m meeting a chick at sbx id like to bang in 30 minutes tho
Uh oh. Here we go... Much more interesting than fkn signal chats. Updates requested
29. many, many obstacles. updates indeed.
i can't get into the original article from the atlantic. i don't believe he thought it was a hoax. below from nbc news
Goldberg reported that he had been added to a group chat called “Houthi PC small group” on March 13. He described his initial skepticism, recalling that he discussed with colleagues whether the texts were “part of a disinformation campaign, initiated by either a foreign intelligence service, or, more likely, a media-gadfly organization” seeking to embarrass journalists.
When the journalist came to believe the chat was authentic, he left it. “No one in the chat had seemed to notice that I was there. And I received no subsequent questions about why I left — or, more to the point, who I was,” Goldberg wrote.
so my question is this: did he open his phone and the entire chat was already there orr was he silently reading messages as they came through?
Eavesdropping is wrong. If I find myself on a text or email chain I should not be on, I immediately asked to be removed. It's happened to me before when my name got mixed up. The information was none of my business. I knew it and told them to remove me. It's the decent and right thing to do.
Yes I would. Why would I want to remain on a scam text or email chain? That's stupid.
MM66, you said it all, when you said, "We're all different".
Even people who are from the same race, religion, sex, gender, family, political party, country of origin, and the list goes on.
Waltz is Dick Cheney's buddy and a deep state hack. Everyone warned them not to put this clown in the administration. Just fire him and move on. He almost certainly did it intentionally.

I am not a journalist. The first amendment protects the freedom of the press, of course. But why? Among other things, the press serves as a watchdog, freely reporting to American citizens about anything improper, wrong, or corrupt about public servants in the government. That is a duty of a journalist.
What a journalist might do as an individual, private citizen, has nothing to do with what his duty is as a journalist to the American people.
The way I see it, as soon as he came to understand what was happening, he had an absolute duty to protect our nation by Responsibly communicating to the powers that be to protect our national security, and then a duty to the American citizens to inform us of this egregious violation of common sense, protocol, and national security.
As far as I can tell, he handled this perfectly.
Yeah, I’ve seen him do this with other posters. If he hates the poster, the insults become gay sex-themed. Then he runs to the site owner, whining that he’s somehow a victim.
Guy obviously has some serious baggage. Sad.
Love that movie. We’re trying to find an employment opportunity for herBorn in 1996 or 1997.

Nothing is worse than fake Christians. You’ve shown you’re full of shit. So what are you doing hanging around there….
But I’m glad you made friends with Hickory. You two are a match under people’s soles. Dumber and dumber betas
THIS is what I've been saying!
Why does Waltz have Goldberg so "cloaked" in his contacts list (as simply "JG"), that even he would accidently add him?
I'm not ready to claim he did it on purpose, and just wanted "JG" to be anonymous, and if he was passing secret intel to Goldberg on occasion...I don't think Goldberg would blow that up, but why is Goldberg in his contacts? How did it get there?
I'm leaning that "JG" was probably camo'd on some state department phone list, which Waltz added (or was auto added) to his "contacts". Happens all the time. I have guys in my phone contacts that was synched via some phone list download years ago. Guys I've never talked to. Never met. But are in my "contacts" when our system links in with SalesForce.
That said, Waltz added "JG". Who did he think "JG" was?
