    Signal is so secure that the CIA uses it…thus some journo couldn’t have hacked their way in. It was pure incompetence by Walz and Hegseth.

      Sure, it’s secure-ish.

      But these types of conversations aren’t supposed to happen via texts that will disappear in 7 days.

      Presidential records are supposed to be recorded. Journalists are unable to make FOIA requests if no records are kept. Even if a FOIA request would be denied now, the records should still be kept for possible declassification decades from now.

      This regime dangerously eschews transparency and has become a dark hole.

      It’s like the meme of that guy tapping his forehead: “you can’t request records if there are no records”.

      Who said otherwise? Even trump admitted it and said walz was trying his best and shouldn’t be punished.
