Signal Gate Scandal

Reports indicate the White House is coalescing around making Michael Walz the fall guy; however, they are all culpable.

Walz may have accidentally included a journalist in the chain, but none of them had any objection to using an unsecured app to discuss attack plans. Nobody said, "Hey guys, we shouldn't be doing this," which demonstrated that none of them can be trusted to handle classified information. They all need to go.

Generally, the person who schedules the call is the person with the invite list. Apparently it was a free-for-all. Invite who you want, even if you're not sure who you're inviting.

The Heritage Foundation planted the seed to use outside apps such as Signal in admin communications because the app had a provision where the communications could be set to erase/disappear from the Signal system upon a preset date/time chosen by the participants in the communication.

This was a chosen method for the trDUMP admin. to communicate by The Heritage Foundation to circumvent any future right to know, transparency, and Freedom of Information Act requests by the public or media.

Make Hegseth's lie under oath a matter of public record, even if (and especially since) the Signal chats are not kept for official records.
