    I’m watching the hearing now. Democrats are ROASTING them and calling for their resignations, while Republicans are asking them about China and Mexico and praising their first months in position. It’s disgusting.

    The NSA explicitly advised them all against the use of Signal back in February, citing recent breaches of the platform by Russian hackers. Two of them were in Moscow at the time the strikes were communicated, one being Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence.

    Edit: The lottery assigned Judge Boasberg to their trial. It’s a good day.

      There is obviously an easy fix for this. Get rid of the NSA, CISA, and other cybersecurity people.

      We need more than resignations. We need actual punishments. Can’t have them just resign and go on to be a private consultant or talking head.

        I hear non-federal prison is fun. Mix them in with gen pop while waiting in a transfer that never comes. Surely the thoughts and prayers are effective against boiling sugar water.

      I’m not familiar with Boasberg, but a quick DDGing tells me he’s been blocking deportations. Someone with integrity ? Can you tell me more ?

        Yes. He’s the judge that Trump and congressional Republicans have repeatedly threatened with impeachment for obstructing the Executive Branch. Impeachment of a federal judge requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate, and Senate Democrats have already stated that they will not vote in favor.

        He has issued injunctions on the Alien Enemies Act deportations, and is the one demanding detailed flight logs and passenger lists for the flights to El Salvador. They very much dislike him for doing his job correctly.
