The inclusion of Jeffrey Goldberg, an avowed anti-Trump journalist, in a highly sensitive Signal group chat used by the Trump administration's national security team has caused a major stir. While National Security Advisor Mike Waltz claims the addition was an unintentional error, possibly due to a contact list syncing issue, the incident has raised concerns about operational security. The article explores the possibility of a deliberate leak, noting the history of alleged Deep State operations against the Trump administration. While Waltz accepts responsibility, the incident has damaged his credibility within the team. The author argues that the Democrats have no moral high ground to criticize Trump's team given their own security failures under Biden's administration, including the Chinese spy balloon incident and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The article also challenges Goldberg's claim of ethical behavior, suggesting his continued presence in the chat after realizing he was not supposed to be there is questionable. Ultimately, the author concludes that despite the setback, the Trump team remains strong and the incident has not significantly harmed their overall objectives.
