Transparent presidents don’t have cabinet members using Signal, especially with disappear/delete. They don’t fire Inspectors General. They don’t attempt to use war powers to conceal info when we’re not at war.

With Hillary, we saw how transparency of government communications work. For you to get your panties in a wad over Signal is peak lazy ass.
Hell, in the last administration, Austin was incapacitated and you didn't seem to care the Sec of Defense wasn't around and nobody knew.

While the Biden administration may have allowed some use of Signal — based on public guidance from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency — it explicitly did not allow use of Signal to communicate "non-public" Department of Defense information, which would have included the conversations Trump administration officials had in their group chat.
An anonymous former national security official told The Associated Press that those with permission to download Signal on their White House phones were "instructed to use the app sparingly." It was not possible to independently verify this claim, and it was unclear whether intelligence agencies aside from DOD and the cybersecurity agency issued policies or guidance about using Signal under the Biden administration.

I can't wait to see which is worse, Signalgate or J6. According to the clown I saw on CNN, this is the worst national security breach of our lifetimes.

I know the struggle is real in Donkland, but going all in on something as insignificant as this is preposterous.

Re: The Authoritarian Playbook for How to Take Down America
Sure. And you’d have the same take if it happened under a donk administration.
A few of many reasons.
https://www.wvtm13.com/article/national ... y/64301518Signal is an app anyone can download to their device, which encrypts messages to keep them secure. It's considered a go-to for the military, journalists, and privacy advocates but is not approved for classified conversations.
"It's wonderful for encrypting your communications, from the moment you hit send to the moment it hits the other guy's phone or laptop. The problem is, once it hits one while it's on your device, and when it gets to the other device, it's openly available. And so if those devices are compromised, you know, through some kind of hacking, through perhaps malware that was installed six months ago, through some kind of open surveillance, because the person may be using the phone out in an open public area, these are definitely, definitely concerns we would have about using that platform," Pfeiffer said.
Just one day before the strikes, the Defense Department warned staff that Russia was trying to hack Signal, raising serious concerns about security risks, according to a report from the Associated Press.
