#SignalGate Meets #WordPress: Outgoing National Security Adviser’s Phone Dumps Messages via Israeli App
Much like the earlier SignalGate chats, key Trump officials like Vice President JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard show up in the messages on that sole photo. Signal users regularly get messages reminding them to enter their PIN number, a kind of secondary lock on the account data

The Washington Post · Inside Waltz’s ouster: Before Signalgate, talks with Israel angered TrumpBy Michael Birnbaum

During a WH CAB meeting on Wed, then, Waltz was apparently using an IL-made app called TeleMessage Signal to message with ppl who appear to be top US officials, incl Vance/Rubio/Gabbard.

After snr Trump admin CAB mems used vanishing Signal messages to coord Mar MIL strikes in Yemen—& accidentally incl the editor in chief of The Atlantic in the grp chat—the #SignalGate scandal highlighted concerning breaches of trad govt “op security” protocol +compliance issues-.

WIRED · Mike Waltz Has Somehow Gotten Even Worse at Using SignalBy Lily Hay Newman
Continued thread

“Waltz also attended #Trump's televised #CabinetMeeting on Wednesday. In a #Reuters photograph from the meeting, Waltz appeared to be using the #Signal app on his phone. The photograph appears to show a list of chats he has had on the messaging app with other cabinet members, including Vice President JDVance & *#Intelligence* Chief #TulsiGabbard.”

BREAKIING: Mike Walz photographed on signal group chats during Cabinet meeting. Using Signal when the law requires you to preserve all of your communication indicates that they are deliberately trying to avoid accountability. The Law requires record retention of communications.

Signal is used to keep communications from presidential records and FOIA requests to avoid accountability, investigations and prison.

Highest level of confidence one or multiple foreign intel agencies are reading those chats in real time.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

move on, nothing to see here, all business as usual...

And 3 #TheAtlantic reporters were invited into the #ovaloffice this weekend, one was #JefferyGoldberg of #SignalGate. Like WTF, he hates them!

#Trump does these private talks as ✨ #distraction ✨

Because today Monday, they are ⭕removing all #civilservants who check Federal #votingrights 🥶

Maybe he assumes this #votersuppression will _not_ be top news this week

I hope #MarcElias will get on the news more
