81. Adding Goldberg isn't the worst part.

The worst part is that this is proof that this lawless administration is being run "off book" in a commercial app that automatically deletes all records.

Anyone with access to any participants' phone would be privy to classified plans.

Insanity!!

If Biden officials were caught using signal for top secret discussions and decision-making and had included a Fox News host, can you imagine the response?

The true outrage is that we won't be seeing such a response from the 47 enablers in the media. And unless they are hammered and forced to act by their constituents, the Republican Congress will continue to abdicate their duty to defend the constitution.
