I firmly believe that someone switched out one phone number for another - with the intent to be able to make a big story of how lax the Security was on group calls. I had enough experience as an Administrative Secretary to know that you can put together a whole bunch of numbers to call in on a line and it wouldn't take a minute to add one or change another. Might there be a person on the inside that wasn't completely loyal to the Trump Whitehouse and the folks in the Pentagon?? Of course there is!!

It may have been a mistake but I'm going with the likely scenario that Alex Wong added him intentionally so he could leak to The Atlantic. If you remember, Goldberg is famous for a number of false information. Why did he publish it to The Atlantic? We know why. Unfortunately, now every left loon is calling for Hegseth and Waltz to resign, forgetting the last four years when no one in the Biden admin was called to resign over their mistakes. Sigh....

I believe with so many people on the Signal app link adding the journalist was a mistake. An error that I believe did not harm the mission because it took place on schedule. I am sure going forward this error will not happen again!
I have a son , step son & nephew in the military. When they are deployed I have used the signal app to communicate while they are deployed. Secure so they are secure & safe where they are. Never knew where my son was deployed until he came back from his deployment.
President Trump & his whole cabinet are doing wonderful work for ALL Americans! Grateful for how much they are doing for all of us USA Citizens.
President Trumps over all hard work helps stabilize the World in my opinion.

It’s unfortunate that this incident occurred, but mistakes happen. Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise since no Top Secret information was compromised, and I’m sure steps will be taken to prevent or minimize such occurrences in the future. It’s also unfortunate that Trump is under intense scrutiny. His administration and cabinet have to strive for perfection because any misstep will be seized upon and sensationalized by the Democrats, often at the expense of our national security.

The only mistake they made is to trust any APP. We live in a time where nothing is secure & unfortunately, unless Elon creates something for them the only possible secure communications is face to face in private. Pretty sad.

The screw up was the mistake of adding Goldberg to the chat. The information that Goldberg received was not a war plan, he took what he got and then over exaggerated the content like he regularly does to make it sound worse than what it was. Remember who this guy is he manufactured two election scandals right before an election that were both discredited. His headline stated that Pete Hegseth texted war plans which sounds damming but that’s not what happened. His article said there were minute by minute war fighting plans that exposed American National Security, that’s not true. What he got was JD Vance complaining about Europe and a little argument about what the fallout would be on a Houthis strike and how it would impact their next decisions.

You would think that the people involved should had known better than used a APP for
Such important information! I would give them a benefit of the doubt that it will never happen again! So national news media ( abc,cbs,abc,pps news hour, cnn, msnbc) just move on your party LOST!!!!!

Everyone should understand these Secretaries were in a Dog Fight to be confirmed. They are walking into a horrible struggle. They have only been in their positions for about a month. They are up against a very powerful, entrenched, Deep State. In many regards it is a blessing the enemy showed up early. Now their focus can be on cleaning up the trash. Evil Never Sleeps. These Secretaries know they are in a very deep Swamp with venomous creatures and MUST be drained.

I can't comprehend that Congress is using damn apps. What happened to secure communication? Who added the contacts? Is there a fox in the hen house? Too much information is still needed to understand how this happened

First, find out who added the person. Then take their phone and computer and follow the trail of the post. Then make sure this post was not ghosted.
I receive calls often from a local number that I actually know, BUT if you call that number you will be redirected to the ACTUAL NUMBER that they ghosted from
So before anyone’s head is put on the chopping block. Homework needs to be done.

My first thought is was this sabotage from within? Is there a mole working inside the administration?

It will be interesting to find out how it really happened. With everything going on, I would not be surprised if they were all set up by a far left person.

With the way Dems operate I smell a planned operation. Maybe a setup person in the administration.

Mistakes happen, learn from them! They have admitted to the mishap unlike other scandals in the past that were covered up and even with proof, denied to the end! One example- Biden's incompetence!

This is why protocol must be followed. I have questions. Why , if this was an accident , was Goldberg not added on March 11 th when the chat began? Which staffer of Waltz added the numbers? This all sounds like a sabotage!
