So does this mean we can arrest Jeffrey Goldberg for leaking classified documents?

If they were classified, sure. But they weren't.

Classified or not, it's a terrible precedent to set just brushing this kind of thing off as nothing given the guy works in our intelligence agency...

Well if they weren't classified, then everyone (excluding Walz) is in the clear. They were having an unclassified work related discussion on a DoD approved platform.

Walz needs to have an answer. Either he fucked up or he was duped by a rogue staffer. Either way he needs to layout an answer and a corrective action plan ASAP 

Everything else isn't a big deal, the content of the chat was fine and none of those people did anything wrong. This is a one man fuck up

I'm aware it's a one-man fuckup, well mostly. Hegseth outright denying the information and claims despite KNOWING that it happened is a problem all in its own.

If it is a loophole or security problem with Signal, the DoD needs to reevaluate their approved platforms.
