U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
Okay and? He has a direct line into the administrations secret signal group. This is tremendous thing dropped into his lap
It’s like if bob woodward met with deep throat once, reported there was nonsense going on in the Nixon administration, but then told him to fuck off becuase it was too risky to continue. That’s insane and his bravery led to Nixons corruption being exposed
Or like Snowden going to greenwald and co and them reporting that “some guy told us about government corruption but we sent him on his way” instead of coordinating his transport to Hong Kong and Russia and passing of the document cache because it was “too risky”
Modern journalists being cowards is a huge part of the reason we have trump. He should be ashamed he threw away such a tremendous opportunity. You better believe they’re going to improve their opsec now.
I’m not sure how to put this, but… Fascists are always really, really, really bad at everything. Like sure, they can sometimes make the trains run on time out of sheer terror on the part of the rail staff, but actual, legitimate competence? That’s anathema to these people, especially the bloated sack of festering anuses at the top. Leaks - deeply, incomprehensibly stupid leaks like this one - will continue.

Even that is a myth. The trains were actually running on time due to reforms by his predecessor. Mussolini actually fucked up the train system and they stopped running on time. People still credited him with that shit for some reason.
A spine isn’t necessary for that, just greed and self-interest. Leaks will happen whenever the slimy weasels Trump surrounds himself with think they’ll benefit from them or are too incompetent to prevent them.
The problem is that a fascist regime will always be in a state of damage control, and that control will become more and more violent to the population.
This is nothing on the order of watergate, prism, etc and you and I both know this admin has that level of corruption going on
Sit on this bombshell, which is ultimately that the admin uses a non approved communication modality that hides their tracks (shocker, they’re afraid of being on record). You still have evidence of that by sitting on this. Wait until they drop some real shit and leak that. But that would probably end with you needing to leave the country

I really don’t think they will.

Yeah maybe. But maybe not. I’d rather not bank on a potential when the actuality was literally manifested, but what’s done is done
Maybe the only way this happens again is if someone from within the administration develops a spine and leaks info

I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.
