Because it was a leak. This was reported in part to hopefully stop the Trump Admin from putting our military at risk!If I were Goldberg, I might have remained silent expecting to be included on more such chats. (Pretend to be unaware of the chat if caught.) I'd post the chats publicly only after one of the imbeciles wrote something really stupid or incriminating ... posting AFTER taking asylum in a safe country.
Instead Goldberg reveals this first secret chat publicly? ???? Treasonous -- expect the guy to be in jail soon.
How bad would it have been if it had leaked?
If any foreign Intel group had some claws in one of the phones on that group chat, they saw everything.Pete Hegseth while fucking leaking the intel said:VP:
I understand your concerns – and fully support you raising w/ POTUS. Important considerations, most of which are tough to know how they play out (economy, Ukraine peace, Gaza, etc). I think messaging is going to be tough no matter what – nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.
Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive; 2) Israel takes an action first – or Gaza cease fire falls apart – and we don’t get to start this on our own terms. We can manage both.
As far as a trap for the journalist. It'd been against the law to share classified info on that app, so it'd be a very dangerous trap for people laying it out. As things stand, laws we're likely broken by the inept dumbasses of the Trump Admin as is. No one else checked who was on the chat?!
