    They arent “using signal”, they are avoiding record keeping requirements to avoid scrutiny and accountability.

    Yeah except Signal doesnt comply with government record keeping. These dudes could plan anything in there and set it to wipe after 24 hours and we’d never know. No one would.

    Of course they did. The odds of them using Signal for only one group chat were zero.

    I loved it when Hegseth claimed that even with the info they recklessly leaked, the location wasn’t in the texts.

    No, it was literally in the TITLE of the text group. Fucking dipshit thinks everyone is as stupid as he is.
