Trump Admin accidentally leaks plans of bombing on Hourhis through a group chat app

[Winehole23]

Waltz’s mobile number and email address could be found using the same service provider. The mobile phone number could even be found using a people search engine popular in the U.S. DER SPIEGEL reporters were also able to find several passwords for Waltz’s email address in leaked databases. The information also led to Waltz’s profiles for Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Signal.

National Intelligence Director Gabbard was seemingly more careful with her data than her two male colleagues. She apparently had her own data blocked in the commercial contact search engines that contained the data of Hegseth and Waltz. But her email address was to be found on WikiLeaks and Reddit.

Gabbard’s email address is available in more than 10 leaks. One of those also contains a partial telephone number, which, when completed, leads to an active WhatsApp account and a Signal profile.

these people aren't taking their jobs seriously

Personal inquiries sent by DER SPIEGEL to the leaked WhatsApp and Signal accounts belonging to Waltz were delivered, according to the confirmation function. His WhatsApp profile photo showed Waltz with two other people in front of a U.S. flag. Shortly after the inquiries were sent, Waltz’s accounts were apparently deactivated; the WhatsApp chat with DER SPIEGEL disappeared.

The office of the national intelligence director stated that Tulsi Gabbard’s private data was leaked almost 10 years ago, that she hadn’t used the relevant platforms for several years and that she had changed her passwords several times.

DER SPIEGEL reporting, however, found that the private Google account belonging to Gabbard was used as recently as around two weeks ago. Messages sent by DER SPIEGEL to her leaked WhatsApp and Signal accounts were also apparently delivered. Two check marks appeared after they were sent.

there are different punishments for the big fish and the minnows

it's pretty much a one for one analogy here

A federal worker accidentally includes a journalist on a detailed message in advance of a government operation.

While that sounds like the case of The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief being added to a group Signal chat by Trump’s national security adviser Michael Waltz, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed military attack plans in Yemen, it’s not.

It’s what happened to a longtime Department of Homeland Security employee who told colleagues she inadvertently sent unclassified details of an upcoming Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation to a journalist in late January, according to former ICE chief of staff Jason Houser, one former DHS official and one current DHS official. (The two officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they do not want to endanger their current or future career opportunities.)

But unlike Waltz and Hegseth, who both remain in their jobs, the career DHS employee was put on administrative leave and told late last week that the agency intends to revoke her security clearance, the officials said.

some think Hegseth and Waltz tipped intelligence methods to the Houthis

and might impair intelligence sharing with allies

In one of the messages, Ratcliffe told other Cabinet members who were discussing whether to delay the strikes that the CIA was in the act of mobilizing assets to collect intelligence on the group, but that a delay might offer them the opportunity to “identify better starting points for coverage on Houthi leadership.”

That text, according to the current and former officials, exposed the mere fact that the US is gathering intelligence on them — bad in and of itself — but also hinted at how the agency is doing it. The language about “starting points,” these people said, suggests clearly that the CIA is using technical means like overhead surveillance to spy on their leadership. That could allow the Houthis to change their practices to better protect themselves.

Then, in a later message, Waltz offered an extremely specific after-action report of the strikes, telling the thread that the military had “positive ID” of a particular senior Houthi leader “walking into his girlfriend’s building” — offering the Houthis a clear opportunity to see who the US was surveilling and potentially figure out how, thus enabling them to avoid that surveillance in the future, the sources said.

The Houthis have “always been difficult to track,” said a former intelligence official. “Now you just highlight for them that they’re in the crosshairs.”

radio silence from spineless Trumpies on this one

"Their personal phones are all hackable," one former White House official told Politico of the debacle. "It’s highly likely foreign intelligence services are sitting on their phones watching them type the out."

And bless this old man's heart because he's does precisely what I told him to do...put your head down and continue to blast hair all over fresh walls. None of that retreating to the White House, or, the courses of Bedminster in Jersey, or, courses in Florida. Did he wobble a bit in the immediate aftermath of the Atlantic hit? Yes. But he smacked himself upside the head, changed his Depends not once, but twice and journeyed forth,,,grabbed the Gatling Gun and opened fire on a myriad of fronts.

I love President Trump.

"merit"

But it is not common for those senior-level positions to be filled by family members of the Cabinet heads, said Michael Fallings, a managing partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, which specializes in federal employment law.


Based on Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume, his past experience includes founding his own podcast production company, Embassy and Third, and working on social media and podcasts at The Hudson Ins ute.


It’s not the first time Phil Hegseth has worked alongside his older brother. When Pete Hegseth was CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit that fell into financial difficulty during his time there, he paid his brother $108,000 to do media relations for the organization, according to federal tax records.

Hegseth isn't taking his job very seriously

The sources are "multiple people present or with knowledge" -- Hegseth is losing the locker room

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Hegseth brought his wife Jennifer Hegseth to two meetings with foreign military officials, citing multiple people present or with knowledge of the meetings.

One meeting was reportedly held with U.K.'s Secretary of Defense John Healey in the Pentagon on March 6 and discussions included the United States' decision to withdraw from sharing military intelligence with Ukraine amid their war with Russia, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Defense officials told the Wall Street Journal that attendance lists for secretary meetings usually involve people with security clearances due to "the delicate nature of the discussions."

The second meeting was reportedly at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) headquarters in Brussels, Belgium in February. The meeting was a gathering of officials from other nations to discuss support for Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal says.

Citing people familiar with the meetings, "Some foreign attendees at the meetings didn't know who Jennifer Hegseth was," the Wall Street Journal added.

btw, how many times has Adam Kinsinger's security clearance been revoked? I don't think this is the first time.

[Winehole23]

It’s not like this is a new issue. As William Murray, another former top CIA officer, told SpyTalk this week, the use of cell phones have long been barred inside CIA headquarters at Langley, prompting him to question why Ratcliffe, the agency’s director, would have been using his for the Signals chat apparently from his seventh floor office.

"presents the leash to excited dogs"

The old man's youngest son laid the law down Inauguration Day when he leaned into Biden and warned him..."It's on now."

I figured it'd be the 2 eldest sons that would be the most hard assed over that Pennsylvania hit. No. It was the kid all along.

Waltz is going to get canned, but honestly Hegseth should resign
