The Next President is...

[tac airlifter]

that's a lot of questions bro, I'll try to engage:

Your screenshots are real, and principals have said so.  However those screenshots do not show any secret war plans and I see nothing inappropriate about them (other than the bone headed move to add the wrong person).  The troubling claim is that within the same text chain secret information on operational details was shared, but the journalist was too patriotic to release that info.  Instead we should trust him, and the principals should resign.  DNI refuted that assertion under oath today, and the journalist himself has a history of pushing debunked Russian collusion claims in the past.

If proof exists that these principals were discussing secret operational details on an unclassified system, fire them at a minimum.  I think that covers the gist of your questions without answering each one line by line. 
 

curious what is meant by "secret war plans" considering the journalist making the claim has never seen secret war plans.  I have, and I've seen unclass principal level discussion of messaging sync after tactical strikes.  The legal distinction making something secret is if release could reasonably be suspected to cause damage to national security.  So, let's see it then decide.

Covid lab leak

Russia collusion

Hunter laptop

etc, etc, etc

Perhaps there's reason to be skeptical

How about this, let’s take a hypothetical stance that there is totally not enough evidence to believe this is anything other than a fake news smear job.

If it comes out as true - which the truth will come out when the reporter is called to testify - will you oppose and denounce the actions taken if targets and timing and/or other classified information were shared?

Do you believe Tulsi Gabbard when she said that nothing classified was shared in the texts?

I do not remember and do not recall.

Simple question, do you believe Tulsi wrt her quote below:

 “I can attest to the fact that there were not classified or intelligence equities that were included in that chat group at any time.”

I do not recall the definition of classified information.

But I am glad that she said that there was no classified information. I look forward to having the SSCI validate her statement and reassure the public.

Dafuq?

I admit I was not looking for the bridge, so that's on me...

This seems really easy to get to the bottom of.  Reporter officially turns over the screen shots if he hasn't already done so.  Govt confirms that operational plans yet to happen were in them or they weren't.  Longer it goes the longer it's likely its being blown out of proportion or was done intentionally.  

Disregard the tweet wording.  Just watch the video.

Yikes.

Mission was a success.  And through out the Vietnam War,  the French, bitter from their defeat there because we did not give any assistance to them holding their Colonies in SEA did everything to get back at the US.  Their Embassy in North Vietnam shared our Target(s) Strike Packages to the NVA.  Several friends were lost or ended in the Hilton. And I still believe “Bombs on Target, the rest is BS”.

And yes , the Chat Group F upped.

“This leaks”

That's bad.  Worst part is that it was the person that should have known the best about what was ok and not ok to talk about in an unclassified environment.

And let all the anti-Trumpers here take note that we are calling a spade a spade even when it hurts 'our team'.

[Pooter]

Denying it while knowing full well the journalist has the receipts might be the wildest part. Like how do your teams not come up with a better damage control strategy

 

[chase]

Oof
I don’t get it. Fire the person responsible. Admit you messed up. Move on.
NOW, after denying and lying about it, they basically need to start a war to make this go away.

Link to all so far. I'm ok with him not releasing the active Intel portions, but I know some on this board won't agree .

Edit - much like the tweet above, the title sucks.

The doubling down on nothing being classified is insane.

As more comes out, it's bad.  Leaves me wondering why?  Why the details.  It almost sounds like bragging.  Sounds like something a junior NCO would do.  There was no reason for it.  He's the secdef, just say 'we're going to hit them'.  The level of detail is gloating.  Most of those people in the group don't know what any of that shit is anyways.

Agreed. “Check out this cool shit” type of talk. Completely unnecessary and the players in that chat had zero need to know.
