The specific clusterfuck of discussing war plans over Signal, a consumer cellphone app

One of my cousins shared this:

Reporter: “Would it be a problem if the Atlantic released all the text messages if they’re not classified?”

That’s the question, isn’t it?

Trump says this whole thing is manufactured by the “sleazebag press.”

Okay. I take him at his word. Which always been so truthful and based in reality, right? No reason to doubt President Trump, is there? Is there, Republicans? No reason to doubt his veracity at all. No, Sir. You Republicans have to be feeling pretty confident right now, right?

So, it’s simple. Trump says the texts are not classified. The Secretary of Defense, the National Security Advisor, the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of State, they all say the texts aren’t classified.

Okay.

Then there should be no problem whatsoever making a full unredacted transcript of the entire session public along with the names of every participant.

Right?

If Trump is telling the truth and the conversation was unclassified and national security was not compromised by his administration, then he can crush his political opponents, completely emasculate the Democrats, and end this entire situation in one fell swoop.

He would be totally and immediately vindicated.

All he has to do is release the full transcript. Simple. He would have instant and absolute victory.

IF he’s telling the truth.

I don’t see any news links about that. But Leon Skum wants to privatise Amtrak to make it more efficient (or something). For the record…
