We all know that old adage: when caught sending plans for American military operations through a platform you got off the app store, deny deny deny.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revived the era of alternative facts on Monday, outright refusing to admit that he had leaked plans for U.S. airstrikes on Yemen in a group chat that accidentally included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
Jeffrey Goldberg shared the wild story of the extreme breach in national security on Monday, along with screenshots of the conversations on the encrypted messaging app Signal. In addition to Hegseth, the group chat included Trump administration officials ranging from Secretary of State Marco Rubio up to Vice President JD Vance. When asked about the slip, Hegseth accused Goldberg of "peddling hoaxes."

OMG this is blowing up so much. They all should be fired and charged under the secrets act.
And everyone knew these clowns would do something like this.

Ya, sure. Who is going to arrest them? The what about her email crowd is silent because they don't care. Laws don't function without cuorum. Benghazi was a bludgeon.
