At a hearing in Fed Dist Ct in DC on Thurs, Judge Boasberg made clear: he'd issued his preservation order to be sure that none of the Signal messages were lost.

American Oversight *often seeks to pry loose info. from the govt under the FOIA -claimed: the admin’s use of Signal to discuss the attack plans violated the Fed Records Act -requires official comms. by agency officials to be preserved.

*Waltz set the Signal group texts to disappear in 4 weeks.

Signal Gate.
Israël heeft, via een bron in Jemen, gevoelige informatie verstrekt over een hoge Houthi-militair die het doelwit was van de aanval die besproken werd in het omstreden Signal-gesprek. Dat schrijven Times of Israel en The Wall Street Journal op grond van twee Amerikaanse bronnen.

It is really important for everyone to increase their messaging security these days.

That's why I wrote "Why You Should (Still) Use #Signal As Much As Possible" -- see https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10762-why-you-should-still-use-signal-as-much-as-possible .

#SignalGate wasn't because of a problem with Signal. It was because people were using it for things they weren't supposed to be using it for, and made sloppy mistakes in the process.

My article is designed to be something you can hand to a non-technical friend and explain why Signal is useful.


Oy.

Rupar shared a clip in which the #ClusterFox host refers to the Signal text chain as a "call."

“ #SignalGate Is Driving the Most US Downloads of Signal Ever

Scandal surrounding the #Trump administration's Signal group chat has led to a landmark week for the encrypted messaging app’s adoption—its “largest US growth moment by a massive margin.”

One can’t just set messages to disappear when discussing official government business including military plans. The National Security Adviser (Michael Waltz, the group’s administrator who set the messages to auto-delete) should know that.

“Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States…”

In the U.S.A., whenever there is a political scandal with a president, we add "gate" to the end of a word to describe the scandal because of the name of the Watergate hotel where the then President's men committed crimes on his behalf in the early 1970's.

It has been more than 50 years that we have stuck with this odd tradition. I wonder if it will actually ever stop. I wonder how many young people actually get the connection now, and how many think that the Watergate scandal had to do with water.

This freaking nonsensical gaslighting and deflection—

Now the #trump team is apparently arguing against intent (to unlawfully dispose of government records) because Michael (Mike) Waltz changed the messages to disappear in four weeks rather than one 🥴

#USA #USGov #Signal #SignalGate


I asked Alan Turing and he said the #signalgate code is so sophisticated that if the Germans had used it instead of their silly Enigma machines, they would certainly have won the war. And Turing would know. Even dead for all these years, he would know.

No need to act defensive, signalgaters: you got everyone thinking you were talking war plans and actually you were planning next week's yard sale of top secret documents from the president's collection! These guys and gals are professionals at spycraft. I am impressed as hell.


This stuff is just plain nuts, and a massive danger to our military.

“The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump—combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.”

Im "Signal-Gate" wächst der Druck auf die US-Regierung

Die Debatte über die Sicherheitspanne in den USA geht in die nächste Runde: Die Regierung betont weiter, es seien keine geheimen Informationen geteilt worden. Die nun veröffentlichen Nachrichten erwecken einen anderen Eindruck. Von K. Klein.

Who cares about #signalgate, the issue, the FUCKING issue, is that the US is unilaterally bombing #Yemen, murdering civilians and destroying the infrastructure of one of the poorest countries in Earth, in order to protect its proxy #israel.


I just subscribed to @TheAtlantic. Fearless quality journalism needs our support and deserves our attention. It is also very reasonably priced. #SignalGate
The Atlantic subscription confirmation.


#WhiteHouse sez there's nothing classified in here, so Atlantic #Journalist invited to #NationalSecurity chat has published the thread #Signalgate

If #Democrats can't make hay here, after what happened with HRCs emails, they should all go home, sez me

So, about that #Signal chat.

On Monday, shortly after we published a story about a massive #Trump-admin #security breach, a reporter asked the secretary of #defense, #PeteHegseth, why he had shared plans about a forthcoming attack on #Yemen on the Signal messaging app. He answered, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was hired for that top job despite his lack of experience in running a huge organization and his carelessness with security. He was hired for his blind devotion to Trump and his ability to "lie directly into the cameras":

I thought it was clear to everybody, but maybe not.

To restore checks and balances, the Legislative Branch must reclaim the power to oversee the Executive Branch and remove all the criminals from that branch through the impeachment process.

The only other option is American Fascist Dictatorship.
