The Espionage Act, a United States federal law passed in 1917, criminalizes the unauthorized retention or disclosure of information related to national defense, and has been used to prosecute both spies and leakers.

Also Hillary Clinton posted the article from the Atlantic and said “You have got to be kidding me 👀 “

What’s Trumps 2:17 am Truth social post gunna say tonight ?

“Lock him up!” feels appropriate right now.

This 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽…100%. If we had a real leader in the senate, maybe someone would have mentioned this. Or anyone, please! Imagine this had happened under Biden? And another illegal thing going on here is Signal being used. Musk was reprimanded by a judge about this issue right here.

What gets me is the Trump supporters that are showing up at the protests and quoting how the they love Elon and the great work he and the Douche gang are doing. Or that they want 47 to be King for life and Barron to be next in line.

Who text messages national security information like that?!?!?! OMG!!!! Heads need to go to jail. That puts every single person in this country at risk.

...and they were ready to string up Hilary Clinton by her thumbs for using her personal email, which apparently was more secure than the official one (now that's a bad optic...) (AND she never sent state secrets mistakenly to a reporter ... ) a bit TWO FACED, dontcha think....

Because text messages are tots secure…way more secure than Hilary’s emails or hunters laptop

They were using Signal, which is the gold standard for usable end-to-end encrypted communication. It is far more secure than SMS texting, so they deserve a tiny bit of credit for that.

HOWEVER, all the encryption in the world doesn't help if you're chatting with the wrong people.

And, I assume these conversations are subject to records retention policies, which is the opposite of what Signal is designed to do.

What I don't understand is shouldn't Trump have been in this discussion? Isn't he the one to make final decisions on military maneuvers? Feel like there's people missing in this discussion and then of course people included that 🙄🤷‍♀️ 😲🫢

Get over Hunter Biden‘s laptop. Nothing was found there. Nothing was found with Hillary‘s emails either. They were 100% secure. Also, Ivanka did the same thing. Let’s talk about stolen government documents kept in a bathroom.

From Stephen Miller’s comment I suspect they had discussed outlines of this earlier with him so he was setting the overall direction but I also suspect that 1) they know he is impatient and downright lousy with anything involving details or follow through and 2) they were happier NOT to have him in the discussion as he tends to muck things up either due to his non-grasp of said details and nuance or due to his ego needs, or changing his mind midstream, or getting distracted, or being antsy to get on a big plane and fly back to Maralago for golf.

Also they will just "plead the 5th." "plead the 5th." "plead the 5th." "Oh, my butler has to be home to sign for a FedEx package, so I'm just staying home today from the Congressional hearings I was called to." We saw how that went last time.
