Pete Hegseth Sent Secret War Plans to Journalist by Accident
Trump administration officials accidentally included a high-profile journalist in a group chat in which they discussed sensitive U.S. military plans for strikes against Yemen earlier this month.
In a piece for The Atlantic published online Monday, Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine's editor-in-chief, wrote that he had been invited to the group chat with top members of the White House national security team, seemingly by accident, and added that he'd "never seen a breach quite like this."
war thunder forums are rejoicing it wasnt them this time.
Plus didn't a guy get sentenced for 15 years in prison recently for leaking classified documents in a Discord chatroom to some of his friends?
Googled it:
"Former Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was sentenced Tuesday (November 12, 2024) to 15 years for stealing classified information from the Defense Department and sharing it online, the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts announced."
Bet no one responsible for today's leaks won't face any consequences.
For a specific list, this was VERY classified info (not merely "stamped classified," but info about an active impending military action) and they:
- Sent it through a unauthorized, not-allowed, non-secure commercial platform
- With hardware you're not supposed to use for it
- Almost certainly from locations where they aren't allowed to have the discussion- you can't even bring a cell phone into the secure room (SCIF)
- Accidentally copied someone who was ABSOLUTELY not supposed to have access to the info
- Set it up for illegal destruction of records
They were supposed to:
- Use the correct hardware
- From the correct secure location (SCIF)
- With the correct secure software
- NOT SEND INFO TO SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ALLOWED TO ACCESS IT
- Archive information securely for the secure records
