Jeffrey Goldberg and the Fever Dream Group Chat

Are Trump Administration officials supposed to apologize for a group chat that may never have even happened?

Haven't written anything about the so-called leaked Signal chat detailing strike plans against the Houthis that The Atlantic's Jeffery Goldberg was was supposedly included by mistake. I've kept quiet because it never smelled right. You can't slander a pig by calling it a pig and you can't smear Jeffrey Goldberg's reputation by saying he's known to lie (because he has).

In the released alleged "Signal chat" there was no names, targets, locations, unit names, routes - nothing that operation plans usually include. Pete Hesgeth wrote in response;

"So, let's [sic] me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called 'war plans' and those 'plans' include: No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods and no classified information.

Those are some really shitty war plans.

This only proves one thing: Jeffrey Goldstein has never seen a war plan or an 'attack plan' (as he now calls it). Not even close.

VP JD Vance agreed - this "Signal chat" never happened.

All the usual suspects are also in high dungeon about the supposed chat leak. Senator Elizabeth Warren (who famously lied about being Indian) and Senator Mark Warner (whose chief of staff was convicted for lying to the FBI about leaking restricted information) both wanted Pete Hesgeth to resign over the leak. They were joined in that call for Hesgeth to resign by all the usual liberal media outlets like MSNBC, the New York Times, and others. This was the same playbook these jokers ran during Russiagate and the Fine People hoaxes against Trump.

My proposed response is straight forward. President Trump just calls it "Fake news" whenever this issue is brought up and reams whatever reporter who asks it about their propensity to spread lies to the American people. Pete Hesgeth bans The Atlantic from the Pentagon completely for making up lies until such time as Jeffrey Goldstein is fired and the magazine issues a full apology - not the pseudo apology they're trying to get away with.

Enough is enough.
