Mike Waltz, the man who caused Signalgate, actually hosted multiple chats about national security on the app, sources have told the Wall Street Journal.

The national security adviser accidentally added The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat where top Trump aides were discussing a strike on terrorists in Yemen. President Donald Trump was said to be furious but, at least publicly, stood by his man. Waltz, however, is reportedly walking on eggshells.

The Journal also reports that Waltz has a bit of a penchant for Signal, using it to create several group chats where national security-related issues were discussed with close Trump advisors.

Two U.S. officials told the publication that he had started several “sensitive national-security conversations” on the nongovernment channel with Cabinet members.

but he isn't the only one. Hegseth needs to be fired. Every person on the Houthi conversation needs to have their phones examined for mal ware, and then they need to be fired. Didn't Hegseth reveal the name of a covert CIA agent on that group chat?

They all committed crimes, for sure they violated the national records keeping Act and maybe the espionage Act.

Prosecute all of them then lock them all up. OK, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi aren't going there.
