"And let's remember that this was all ALREADY leaking as the group started when Goldberg was added to the chat. The only thing - the ONLY THING - that kept the operation secure was Goldberg's combination of skepticism and patriotism. He could have gone public with the info immediately, ruining any chance of the operation (whatever he thought it might be at that point) going forward. He could have gone public after Hegseth's timeline was posted, which would almost certainly have put pilots' lives at risk. And he knew that. But going further, once he could figure out the attack was real, he continued to keep silent about it until the operation was complete, making sure that he didn't add to the risk that our armed forces were taking simply by being in the theater."
This is the most amazing thing about this whole mess. The only adult on that thread who gave a damn about U.S. security was a reporter who wasn't even supposed to be on the thread.
There is so much incompetence in Trump National Security team.
