Questions...

Amid the fallout from the controversy over officials accidentally sharing military information with a journalist, President Donald Trump is standing by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg published a piece on Monday claiming he had been accidentally included in a group chat with high-profile Trump administration officials. According to the piece, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, State Secretary Marco Rubio, Waltz, and several others discussed plans for an airstrike on the Houthis in Yemen.

Goldberg claimed Waltz added him to the chat without knowing who he was, which has prompted criticism and calls for Waltz to resign.

One of the things that has come out is the phones were a turnover item from the previous administration, who used Signal for 'off the record' things.

It also appears that there were 'phone lists' already existing on those phones. And Waltz was NOT the individual who set up the meeting, it was one of his staffers, possibly Alex Wong.

My question is, WHY was a reporter's number on a phone used by an NSC individual? I kinda doubt it was put there by a new employee, so who had the phone in the last administration?

How many 'leaks' from the last administration went to The Atlantic?

Yes, the discussion was what is known as 'sensitive' information, probably surrounding potential fallout/media takes/other government reactions. But nothing I've seen points to any classified information being discussed, contrary to what the MSM seems to be saying.

Was it a CF? Hell yes! Was it intentional? I doubt it.

But that goes back to my original question, why was the reporter on a Signal list of an NSC staffer?

I haven't seen anyone asking that question...
