3. we aren't PAYING them to check in with "The White Lotus" while discussing secure material

you f'ing idiots at the NYT.

I somehow did this for my 10 years in the federal government. In fact, when I was working I wasn't checking personal email, social media, etc while I was WORKING period... whether doing something classified or not.

I kept two laptops, two cell phones, etc for my entire tenure. I still do to this day. This is from my personal laptop. And today is a "free day" at my employment ( even though I will check in at work for a while later ).

This ISN'T that hard.

And the reason they were using "signal" is so that no records of them discussing committing possible war crimes would be preserved, not because they wanted to time share between discussing ( and laughing ) about killing a few dozen women and children in addition to "terrorists" without there being a record that could be used to put them in prison for life long after Trump is gone.

so much for the "liberal" press
