Oops he did it again. (Hegseth)

Post by Jersey Girl »

Remember when the absolute psycho who passes as our Secretary of Defense posted military attack plans in a Signal Chat? Apparently there was more to the story.

I shall add emphasis.

Pete Hegseth shared Yemen attack details in second Signal chat – report

US defense secretary texted strike information to his family in group chat he created, sources tell the New York Times

Before the US launched military strikes on Yemen in March, Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, sent detailed information about the planned attacks to a private Signal group chat that he created himself, which included his wife, his brother and about a dozen other people, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

The Guardian has independently confirmed the existence of Hegseth’s own private group chat.

According to unnamed sources familiar with the chat who spoke to the Times, Hegseth sent the private group of his personal associates some of the same information, including the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets that would strike Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, that he also shared with another Signal group of top officials that was created by Mike Waltz, the national security adviser.

The existence of the Signal group chat created by Waltz, in which detailed attack plans were divulged by Hegseth to other Trump administration officials on the private messaging app, was made public last month by Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, who had been accidentally added to the group by Waltz.

The fact that Hegseth also shared the plans in a second Signal group chat, according to “people familiar with the matter” who spoke to the Times, is likely to add to growing criticism of the former Fox weekend anchor’s ability to manage the Pentagon, a massive organization which operates in matters of life and death around the globe.

According to the Times, the private chat also included two senior advisers to Hegseth – Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick – who were fired last week after being accused of leaking unauthorized information.

Hegseth has previously been criticized for including his wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, in sensitive meetings with foreign leaders, including a discussion of the war in Ukraine with British military leaders. Phil Hegseth, the secretary’s younger brother, was hired as a senior Pentagon adviser and is the defense department’s liaison to the Department of Homeland Security. It is unclear why either would need to know about the details of strikes plans in advance.

According to the Times, Hegseth used his private phone, rather than a government device, to access the Signal chat with his family and friends.

CNN reported later on Sunday that three sources familiar with Hegseth’s private Signal group confirmed to the broadcaster that he had used it to share Yemen attack plans before the strikes were launched.

A person familiar with the contents and those who received the messages, confirmed the second chat to the Associated Press and said that it included 13 people.

Shortly after the news of the second Signal chat broke, Politico published an opinion article by Hegseth’s former press secretary, John Ullyot, who wrote: “It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president – who deserves better from his senior leadership”.

Oh, I thought Russian bots would be excited about this. Guess you have to keep up a good front.

Uh-huh. The Defense Secretary shares WITH HIS WIFE AND HIS BROTHER and others including two officials fired last week after being accused of leaking unauthorized information, details of dates and times when US personnel will risk their lives attacking the Houthis, and you aren't particularly concerned.

Maybe if you were one of the military people who flew on those missions, or a member of their close family, you might have been a little bit bothered?

But as a responsible citizen? Naaah.

Yeah, nothing I have seen from HoH suggests that he is a responsible citizen. Thanks for pointing that out.

The dude's a walking roofie.

I do find his ability to turn everything into the same tired message impressive. Monomaniacal even. I would hate to inhabit his brain because that probably would be extremely tedious, but to see that hamster on the wheel is passingly diverting.

I would find it impressive too if I thought HoH thought about anything else and chose to talk about the same thing over and over, but I don't think it's a choice. He's a fully programmed drone.
