_It's the Biggest Lie Nobody Caught - JD Vance Obliterates Signal Story Writer with Single Revelation_
It's a nothingburger: The discussion did not involve"war plans." And Ratcliffe's chief of staff is not an "active intelligence officer" whose identity is classified.
FTA: Yes, apparently, that super-secret “active intelligence officer” was just … Ratcliffe’s chief of staff. It wasn’t included in the message drop, but considering that Ratcliffe seemed to confirm it in testimony before Congress under oath, he’s either in a world of trouble or Goldberg made a boo-boo.
“With regard to that article, I also would appreciate the opportunity to relay the fact that yesterday I spent four hours answering questions from senators as a result of that article that were intimating that I transmitted classified information because there were hidden messages,” Ratcliffe told the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, according to Fox News.
“Those messages were revealed today and revealed that I did not transmit classified information, and that the reporter who I don’t know, I think intentionally intended it to indicate that,” he added.
“That reporter also indicated that I had released the name of an undercover CIA operative in that Signal chat. In fact, I had released the name of my chief of staff who was not operating undercover. That was deliberately false and misleading.”
“I used an appropriate channel to communicate sensitive information. It was permissible to do so. I didn’t transfer any classified information. And at the end of the day, what is most important is that the mission was a remarkable success is what everyone should be focused on here, because that’s what did happen, not what possibly could have happened.”
But there’s no story once you remove the what-ifs from this equation. And what’s the fun in that?
