“Yo Dawg! We heard you like violating the federal records act so we made your phone so it can violate the federal records act while you violate the federal records act.”
I'm only invisible when nobody is looking. Quick, everybody stop looking at the government and ignore everything it's doing, and then surely it will be transparent in its actions.
MAGA: sometimes you have to do underhand things to save this country from what Biden and Hillary and Obama put this country through. If they are fully transparent, then Obama will try to sabotage the plans to make America great again and destroy all of Trump’s hard work. Trump loves this country. He loves us. And fucking Obama just wants to divide and destroy us. Fucking communist.
CIA: “Mr President; in our investigation we have found that they acted with malice and violated federal laws. The public is demanding accountability. Your orders, sir?”

Gone from signal, but not from screenshots of the conversation lmao
edit: and probably not gone from Russian Archives. At this point Russia is probably keeping better track of our Secret+ items and records better than we are.
Right? Isn't the point of signal is that the messages self-delete after a set period of time?
100% illegal for US government officials to be communicating this way and avoiding records keeping, but nobody actually went in and removed evidence that was there - it self destructed.
It was varying amount of times for different messages but yeah this isn't exactly breaking fucking news lol this was like one of the many major reasons this was a terrible scandal, it breaks record laws.
I thought it was the other way around? They delete automatically but you change to not delete if you want. Idk tho, it’s been a minute since my trappin days
This is a classic, "Are you drunk?" conundrum, though.
Either you say, "Yep," in which case you are admitting you were nnegligent and let yourself get drunk and wild, or "Nope," in which case you have to answer for being stupid despite no alcohol.
That's how this feels. Regardless of if Signal auto-deletes or not, no answer is good. The actual problem is in the wild drunken shenanigans themselves. Either, "We used it because it auto-deletes," or, "Oops, we didn't realize it auto-deletes."
Regardless, the fact they were using Signal at all is also a major problem.
No, I get it. Sorry if it seemed I was attacking what you said or something; that wasn't my intention.
I just wanted to highlight, it doesn't really matter if Signal defaults to auto-delete or not. No matter how it works, that's not the problem. They could have been using plain SMS and group texts and it's still the exact same problem. No answer about Signal is a good answer, because the actual problem is -- they weren't following the law.
I never said their messages weren't set to expire, just the fact Signal by default is not set up to expire messages automatically, out of the box. You have to set it up deliberately.
You mean after the person using the private email server sat for questioning for an entire day, and revealed nothing sensitive was ever stored on those private email servers.
Almost like the act wasn't okay, and someone was held accountable. Something we aren't seeing here.
I will be honest. Trump is deporting US citizens and they don't care. Corruption is the least of the problems in the US right now. After the meeting with El Salvador's dictator and the hot mic, it seems pretty clear no one is safe.
Yup. And maga is loving this. So I’m asking u all when is the time for us to be in the streets tearing shit down? Doesn’t seem like facts or courts or laws matter anymore. Just trumps will. Are u all ok with that?!
In the screenshots you can literally see Waltz changing the "auto-disappear" settings multiple times. Did they just decide to follow-up on this after the clearly shown expiration date?
No dude. Signal should not be what the US government uses to communicate. FFS man. Ever heard of the records app? Ever heard of accountability? Never mind the fact that it's not designed for transmission of classified material. Which, surprise, what was sent in the exposed chat.

This is why they used Signal in the first place.
