No you couldn't be more wrong. Signal isn't controlled by the government or accredited by the governmet for handling classified information. Doesn't matter how secure they promise it is it cannot be used to transmit classified data of any kind, not even CUI. Systems that are accredited for handling classified can't be accessed by random journalists or anyone who doesn't have the equipment, connections, configurations, accounts, white lists and permissions.
No one should be arguing anything about the security of Signal. No app on a personal phone should be used to discuss anything associated with the work these people should be doing. Inviting the wrong person is how they got caught doing the thing they shouldn't be doing which is being lazy and disregarding national security because doing it right was too inconvenient for them. People in these higher positions should be held to a higher, not lower, standard. They should all be fired and replaced with people who know what they are doing. The people using Signal are the problem, no one should be using it for classified data transmission.
IMO, That's probably easier said than done for many reasons. First among those, IMO, is it would likely tarnish the image of "the exalted one," or should I say, "the self-exalted one." Not that "the exalted one's" image isn't tarnished already.
That's probably the biggest part of the problem, IMO. Yet no-one, so far, is willing to hold his feet to the fire for various reasons.
republicans are as spineless as the democrats when it comes to challenging trump. I wouldnt hold my breath.
Republicans have far more reason to fear Trump - he can withhold their nominations and ruin their careers - or make them… unless there’s a huge democrat win in the next congressional elections in less than 2 years, republicans have no choice but to support him.
