    That didn’t happen.

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

    And if it is, that’s not my fault. <- You are here

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it.

      You fool he’s playing two of these steps at once. Both step 4 and step 1. Still claiming it was a “witch hunt” while also making it not his fault. 100 quadtrabillion IQ (a very object way to measure intellect) move you liberal/LEFTIST/sjw wokie. Check mate, and GOOOOOOOOAAALLL. Hahahaha.

      I’m so sorry.

        You forgot the whining about DEI.

          I obviously only forgot because the DEI hire I hired the last time he was president didn’t sit behind me reminding me, which is Joe Biden’s fault. Whoever the 45th president was obviously screwed up the deal.

    A witch hunt is when you don’t know for sure if anyone did anything wrong. Not when you have physical evidence of exactly who did exactly what wrong. That’s just a “case” then.

    Pentagon-wide advisory sent to staffers on March 18 — less than a week before the screwup went public — explicitly warned against using Signal for any sharing of information, classified or not.

    The advisory claimed that a “vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application,” and that Russian hacking groups were “targeting Signal Messenger to spy on persons of interest” (a Signal spokesperson told NPR that the company wasn’t “aware of any vulnerabilities or supposed ones that we haven’t addressed publicly.”)

    The only thing that is defective is the entire administration.

    Good. He’s overusing his “witch hunt” rhetoric, in a situation where it’s unusually easy for anybody to verify the details for oneself.

    I didn’t wanna sound like a conspiracy theorist, but as soon as the news dropped last week about this, I did have the thought, “Maybe this is all a stunt to try and get Signal banned.”
