Summary
Trump appointed Elon Musk, head of the DOGE, to investigate how a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing military operations in Yemen.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz admitted fault but could not explain how the contact was saved. Trump speculated that the journalist may have added himself.
The investigation will involve Musk’s technical team, the National Security Council, and White House lawyers.
A federal lawsuit challenges the use of Signal for government communication, alleging it violates federal law.
Why would they discuss classified military plans on an app where outsiders could just “add themselves”. That argument isn’t helping their case…
Nevermind. I need to stop thinking about things. The sheer stupidity hurts my brain.
We’re supposed to think “he (the journalist) is so bad and evil he hacked into the secure platform” — not that that helps their case either.
It seems like their best argument is that they are incredibly stupid, and a smart reporter took advantage of them.
@barneypiccolo @Bamboodpanda really gives you confidence that they all know what they’re doing in the databases to make sure “everything’s computer” in the federal agencies
