Man, it sure seems like our IC leads have a really shitty collective memory. They can't seem to remember a damn thing.
I'm sure one of the first questions Trump asks of his appointees is can you lie.

Not using government issued secure phones. This just get better and better.

I seriously don't believe either side in its entirety, I think the facts will fall somewhere in the middle.

I do hope that they investigate this completely and find out what the actual facts are. I do think they should be able to get a transcript of the discussion and if blame is to be found there should also be appropriate accountability of any party(s) that bear blame.

So, the reporter is making this up entirely out of nothing? The reporter didn't ask to be on the chain he was put there. And I guess those people not using government issued secure devices was the reporters fault, too?

Question: does this level of incompetence surprise you? Since you claim the facts are in the middle what POSSIBLE scenario is the reporter to blame for this on ANY level?

You really expect a full investigation from the administration that lies more then they tell the truth daily? Anyone else laughing hysterically?

You are such a rube. Giving the benefit of the doubt to the people that literally lie about everything.

It's not just the classified information on unsecured devices. It's the utter sloppiness that these people are running the government with. It's just so pathetic that you give them such a huge benefit of the doubt.

I would say the people who have had at least three distinct stories about it are the ones a reasonable person would believe are lying.

1) It never happened
2) It happened but nothing classified was in it
3) It happened and while we say nothing is classified in it people may be prosecuted for releasing the contents.

Security implications aside we are talking about pure, abject stupidity, incompetence, and potentially criminal behavior. One of the participants was joining the group FROM FUCKING MOSCOW. These people should be thanking god they aren't headed to prison.

I guess the value of the lives of the service members put in danger by the Trump appointees’ disregard for the rule of law and operational security is “somewhere in the middle”. Trump before honor, always.

The reporter showed more concern for the lives of American service members than any one in the Trunp administration ever did.
