Subject: Re: Texiera on what the d's should do
The Signal chat didn’t reveal anything, I’m sorry. No sources, no methods, no inklings of anything other than “The US is going to do A Thing today” and The Thing is similar to what the US has already been doing to the Houthis.

That's just false. The Signal chat revealed the exact day and time of the attack, the exact expected time on target, that the target was an individual Terrorist that was going to be at a known location, and exactly which types of weapons platforms would be used in the attack.

That's why the Republican Senators involved in the national security committees aren't going along with the "nothing to see here" approach that the Administration is taking, and which you seem to have bought into. They know that this is serious. They know that this information was important to have been kept secure, that it was (or should have been) classified from the moment it was created, and that it was an enormous lapse for this to have been handled in a way that transmitted all that information to a stranger. And they're willing to publicly call for further investigation - independent from the Administration - because they know that this cannot be allowed to happen again. And if the Administration is taking the line that this wasn't a big deal, that does not provide them with any assurance that the Administration will take the necessary steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.

The Signal chat revealed mission critical information that should never have been transmitted in that unsecured commercial app. The Senate GOP is sending a very strong message to the Administration that they need t just own that Hegseth (not just Waltz) made a big mistake, and that it's important to get to the bottom of how they've all been using Signal to conduct military and national security business. Claiming that nothing significant went wrong is not going to cut it.
