Resignation isn't enough, criminal charges must be brought for the Signal app users.

This was no mistake on their part, they intentionally used a forbidden texting app for classified information. This was during an ongoing military operation and put American soldiers and assets at risk of death and injury. These people are a clear and imminent danger to the American public and the nation as a whole, our soldiers and agents working on our behalf. Their are no acceptable excuses for what they have done and the harm they have caused.

A clear message must be sent to everyone with access to classified information that all will be held accountable for their actions regarding such material NO MATTER who they are or think they are.

Actions like this could see any soldier involved executed for aiding and abetting the enemy.

Their profile - location, phone, friends, relatives, patterns - mean their communications can be pinpointed at every point. Adversaries will know who they are immediately. This needs a thorough flushing of all involved IF the goal is to reclaim secure communications. A good spy novelist could figure this out.

He said the same thing. He says this was the greatest security breach in our history.

They were also trying to circumvent the Federal Records Act because they are entitled and arrogant and don’t think they’re accountable to anyone.

Their lame defense is that it’s not a big deal. They are backing themselves into a corner with their excuses, which are catching up to them.

I woke up to read Jeffries is calling on Hegseth to resign. WTAF?!

Why do Dems have such a low approval rating? It's for weak-ass shit like this, asking an incompetent traitor to resign instead of calling for Congressional hearings with an eye towards physically removing them from their offices (if necessary) and locking them the fuck up.
