Gabbard & Ratcliffe were participants in the Signal group chat.

Listening to talk about I’m like, she’s kidding right?

just had to explain why wasn’t in the threat assessment report. She answered that the report only includes countries that present the highest threats. Senator Heinrich specifically pointed to ’s repeated claims there is “massive” & “unusually high” amounts of coming in through Canada to justify .

was asked if she knew the percent of fentanyl in the that came from . Clearly concerned that she was about to contradict , he asked if she could get back to the cmte on that. Senator Heinrich told her, “it’s less that 1%.”

Senator , grilled on why had been excluded for the first time in the report.

Gabbard again said the only included the highest threats.

King rattled off the MANY effects of Climate Change that threaten security. Migration, famine, poverty, social & political tensions, etc.

Then he directly asked if she ordered that climate threats be excluded. She said no.

The reason 100% is ’s war on “wokeism”

Senator is going off! on director about the chat group.

: “You’re the director of the CIA, and you didn’t check who was in the chat group?”

“Did you know the president’s Middle East adviser was in Moscow while on this thread?”

: I did not know that. (again, he’s the director of the CIA)

Senator gets into the details of the group chat contents:

“Was there any discussion of targets?”
…Weapons?
…Timing?
…Military units?

& answer “I don’t recall” to all. From the article (see pics)

Senator Jon : “Disagreements between the president & VP about US plans & intentions would be of obvious interest to foreign intelligence services, would it not?

: Yes

Ossoff: And they were discussing the timing of sending US aircrews into enemy airspace where they faced an air defense threat.

Ossoff: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?

Ratcliffe: No.

Ossoff: This is an embarrassment.

to : We will get the full transcript of this chain & your testimony will be measured carefully against its content.

just sayin

stood by his adviser, , Tues, calling him a “good man” a day after a report that he & other senior admin ofcls used the commercial messaging app to discuss secret plans for Yemen & inadvertently included a journalist in the group chat. During an interview Trump also said Waltz had “learned a lesson.”

Nonilex

Asked if Adviser owed an apology, said, “I don’t think he should apologize. I think he’s doing his best.”

Trump added that he thinks “we won’t be using it very much,” referring to the app.

said the team is looking into “how in the heck” a journalist ended up in a group text chain on the Signal app where top ofcls were discussing plans for strikes against -backed rebels in .

[Waltz added him]

certainly knows how to handle -- blame the & blow smoke up his ass.

Asked if his top , & officials shared classified information on , just refuses to answer

"Another question please"

, Ldr of the ’s Liberal Democrats:

& his mates clearly aren't fit to run a group chat, let alone the world's strongest force. It has to make our services nervous about the we're sharing with them.”

's can't be trusted. Their reckless approach to security means it's only a matter of time before British intelligence is leaked.

“The Govt must urgently review our intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US.”

🚨🚨 American Oversight is suing , , et al, saying their messaging via is a violation of the Federal Records Act.

@Nonilex If they really want his attention they should tell him what this might do to "his numbers"

@Nonilex This is important. All countries that share classified information with the US should conduct a new risk analysis at this point.

@Nonilex
Asshole can't say shit.....then again ,he tells Vlad everything.

@Nonilex

The haunting thing about this footage is that Trump looks exactly like my mother once she’d descended quite deeply into dementia. The slow blinks, the turtle-like movement of the head.

It’s very, very disturbing.

@Nonilex

What I want to know is why aren’t the media talking about #USA committing #WarCrimes and its complicity in #Genocide?

@Nonilex
Dumbass is grinning during the whole clip like the village idiot

@Nonilex Don't ever use unofficial channels for official business and you won't ever have this problem again.
