President Donald Trump downplayed the Signal chat leak Wednesday as a "witch hunt" and said, without evidence, that the encrypted messaging app "could be defective" as his administration struggles to stem the fallout.
Yeah, it is defective… or at least not up to the task of security for classified information… not to mention not compliant with record keeping laws, that’s the whole fricking point.
The big play they are trying is to put the emphasis of the fail on adding the journalist… that wasn’t the crime, it was a demonstration of why it is a crime, and it is how he got caught. Using signal for war/attack plans was the crime.
Well that too, but sadly we are at the point where that is normal and goes back several administrations. The signal usage for military communications reaching public knowledge is something unique to this situation (of which i won’t fully discount the possibility that it may indeed have started prior to this administration)
My neighbor throws rocks at my house because he wants me to move my fence and give him an extra 6" of backyard. I just ignore him and nothing bad has happened beyond needing to replace my bathroom window twice.
Ignore or give them what they want has worked well for me.
If the app is defective, then that’s on the Trump admin for using it to communicate sensitive information.
Yes but accountability doesn’t exist for him. Ever. For some fuckin reason.

The real crime was killing innocent civilians in Yemen but I guess nobody cares.

When someone fires rockets at you, you should either give them what they want so they stop or ignore it.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.

I suspect some downvoted because they thought I was being sarcastic, while others downvoted because they thought I was being genuine.
Precisely!
