What about the possibility that this was leaked on purpose?

I’m having a hard time grasping this!

@johnsomerville2681 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

How come the democrats can leak whatever they like and CNN says nothing but if an accident happens they will stop at nothing to bring in every expert to prove some kind of conspiracy?

Lord God, we have not been faithful people in these recent times. As a result, our peaceful and quiet nation has turned into a chaotic one. So many bad things are happening all around because we have given the enemy a footing over our lives and nation. O heavenly Father, turn our hearts towards you. Help us to live peaceful and quiet lives. Let our leaders advocate for peace and love instead of chaos. May the words that come from their mouths be words that edify the nation. May we find peace within our borders. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.

Is it known how long Goldberg waited before notifying the chat group he was inadvertently added to the chat group? Does it occur to Mr. Goldberg for security reasons he should have alerted them right away? It seems he did not and he could have verified if it was real right away by identifying himself being put into Signal

Instead of condemning this journalist, they should be praising him. The only reason they're angry is because he exposed them, that's all!

@Jose-q6i7e April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

has it been mentioned who created the chat, who were the admins and who added this reporter?

@colinturner9461 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Great work Mr Goldberg,
Plenty supporters here in Brisbane for you, stay strong and lots of good luck to you.

I just came from reading comments on a Fox Entertainment channel about what's going on. I can't believe that there are that many uneducated, unhinged people who believe the crap that's being fed to them. Fox is Blatantly Lying. They're saying that stuff will be cheaper after the tariffs are implemented. 🤦

@katyelder.5 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Treason. ✊🗽⚖️📜🇺🇸

@michaeloto1091 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

I loved the Britts view on this when His Majestic Diaperedness openly admitted I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NOTHING!! The Britt view was this, it is unthinkable that beyond this being a total security breech and cock up, but the fact the the President of the United States has no idea what is happening ever is utterly terrifying.
So Vance, it is clear from his comments to the cabinet, even states, the President has no clue how his message is contradictory to the administration’s position toward Europe.

So Shady is calling the shots while Large and “In Charge” is on the back nine. Given Shady was the anointed one by the P2025 scumbags, not a surprise.

@charleswilliams8248 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Goldberg is a confident and brave man! Thank you sir.

@DarkXcb April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Fox News has not at any stage interviewed Jeffrey Goldberg about the Signal chat scandal. Why not ?

@glenspringle7337 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

He could have included the….baby sitter, car repair shop, foreign ambassador, pizza delivery guy, who else is in his contact list?

You all posted part of the war plan on the public air waves in your senate meeting . Most of us have taken pictures of posted content. So, why are all you govmt people lying, caught you red handed

@theveryfirst April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Trump's rabble are liars and criminals appointed by a convicted criminal himself, Trump. Disgusting.

@theveryfirst April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

If Trump's appointed liars and criminals claim that this journalist shouldn't publish it, why do they claim this is unclassified information.
They're caught red handed and continue to lie.
Well done Mr. Goldberg for exposing Hegseth and his and Trump's lies and corruption.

Jeffrey Goldberg is a rock of sense and realised the gravity of what he was reading on the app. This administration is proving to be terrifyingly incompetent and a danger to the world.

@Ibrahim-w5n7y April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Goo journalist with high morality. Someone else, could sell the infos to us advirserory.

Hegseth exposed his guys in the gulf to danger. Unnessecarily. He must be fired.

@teejaj April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

I do not think that it was an accident that Jeffrey Goldberg was included in the text chain; hopefully, time will tell how and who included him.

@electriccarguestdrive3373 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

One scenario I have not seen discussed yet is the possibility that someone gained access to waltz’s phone and added JG to the chat to expose the reckless Signal use. Could have been one of our agencies, could have been a friendly.

@johnn8388 April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

Goldberg is unethical. As soon as I realize that I’m getting information I shouldn’t be getting I let the people know. I.E. group text and speaker phone calls. He is scum

@ValentinaTheCreator April 23, 2025 - 3:35 am

How can the American people TRUST Donald Trump in hiring top government officials to do their jobs? He even stated PUBLICLY he didn't know anything about this breach. He has lost control of his cabinet and this is harm to the American people due to NATIONAL SECURITY. Congress and the Senate should investigate ALL of those members in the group chat, including the directors of these government agencies such as NSA, CIA, DOD, and all those in the group chat to look into their computers, and cellphones, in the case that they've shared SENSITIVE government information to other people, to their friends and families. This is the biggest issue. They've opened pandora's box in adding Jeffrey Goldberg into the group chat. They NEED to question those top government officials whose JOBS are to look into who Mike Waltz included in the group chat. Tulsi Gabbard, and the director of NSA and CIA should've questioned Waltz WHO HE ADDED INTO THE GROUP CHAT AND TO DO BACKGROUND CHECK of that person to ensure who Waltz added can be trusted with SENSITIVE ATTACK AND WAR PLANS of our enemies. THAT IS THEIR JOB! THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST RELEASE OF SENSITIVE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION since Reality Winner and Snowden! This should set Reality Winner in reparations of her case when she shared government information that the Russian government was been pushing the 2016 election to the press for Trump. Including Snowden to be set free and receive reparations. These top government officials, what's scary is they don't understand the grave harm they have done to our national security. How can our allies TRUST our network of information ever again within this white house administration. This is impeachable of abuse of power and crucial national security. This is what happens when we have a reality star from The Apprentice to be President of the United States. The President, the Vice President, and all those government officials in the group chat to be IMPEACHED in these grounds. Incompetence in Hiring Leading to Security Breaches. If a president appoints officials who release classified military plans, this could be seen as gross negligence or a failure to uphold the oath of office.
Depending on the evidence, this could contribute to a pattern of behavior justifying impeachment. Endangering U.S. Soldiers and National Security. Leaking or enabling the leak of classified military information is a grave national security threat. If such actions are tied directly to the president or stem from a reckless pattern, they could form a strong basis for impeachment under "high crimes and misdemeanors." Legal and Political Process: The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment (simple majority vote). The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments (two-thirds vote needed to convict and remove from office). Precedent: Presidents Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump (twice) were impeached but not convicted. Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached. A combination of the behaviors I described—particularly the misuse of executive power, jeopardizing national security, and negligence in official duties—could legally and constitutionally justify impeachment proceedings. Whether or not impeachment occurs would depend on Congressional will, public support, and the strength of the evidence. We need to rise up with these injustices. The AMERICAN PEOPLE need to trust the government to ensure that we are safe, and this whole administration NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED IN THESE CLAUSES! This will be the end of the Trump Nazi Republican (KKK regime) era. TRUE REPUBLICANS similar to Abraham Lincoln in which believe ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL NEEDS to rise up and differentiate themselves from these NAZI REPUBLICANS. TRUE REPUBLICANS needs to act in impeaching Trump and all these top government officials if they ever want to save the Republican party again for future elections. This is going to destroy the Republican party if they don't act the will and safety for the American people. We need to stop #NAZI REPUBLICANS.
