   It's a trap.

   The White House in its denials and obfuscations is trying to push Jeffrey Goldberg into releasing the more sensitive material so they can prosecute him and The Atlantic. #politics #media

     @WarnerCrocker It cannot be classified, they discussed it on a public service not fit for discussing official work issues (e.g. no message retention as mandated by law), and invited him?

     @yacc143 I'm not clear on the details, but it seems to me whether you discuss it in a non-sanctioned digital medium or in a bar I don't think that removes the classification.

     Classic MAGA: attack the messenger to distract from the real crime (the Espionage Act).

     @Crispius True. But that's classic politics without regard for party or affiliation.

     @Crispius I'd actually argue they've actually debased it as an art-form. They do it so poorly.

     There’s some truth to this, but MAGA has turned it an art-form.

     Did you see the video of Hegseth blowing his stack when questioned about the chat?

     @BilldeWorde7a The tragi-comedy farce aspect of this is that everybody knows what happened and it's now all about trying to catch which fools says the wrong thing at the wrong time. When everyone starts saying lots of wrong things then it becomes more offal tossed into the mix.

     @WarnerCrocker seems like the trap works both ways. Current admin position is that the messages don’t contain classified information. You’d have to admit they do to prosecute, wouldn’t you?

     @WarnerCrocker I don't think they are that smart at all, but what if they're ALMOST that smart. What if the point of adding him to the chat was to generate a reason to shut down The Atlantic.

     @apodoxus In my opinion that doesn't reach the bar of ALMOST.

     @lynnedubois @BilldeWorde7a It's obviously classified, so they won't. It's a shell game at this point.

     @BilldeWorde7a @WarnerCrocker So they should be able to release the full text if they deem it unclassified.

     @WarnerCrocker @BilldeWorde7a Agree. They'll have a secret meeting to decide who will take the fall.
