Wbat a perfect encapsulation.um...Trump?
Stupidity and gullibility are the traits of the right I spose.It's not about you.

Au contraire my friend, it most definitely does cut it. Its right there in the language;That's not going to cut it I'm afraid. The Espionage Act criminalizes the willful communication, delivery, or transmittal of national defense information by someone with or without authorization to possess it to anyone not entitled to receive it. 18 U.S.C. § 793(d)-(e). Section 793(e) also applies to anyone who receives national defense information, who is not entitled to receive it, and who “willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it.” Section 793(g) covers conspiracy to commit these offenses. And section 798 of the Espionage Act explicitly criminalizes the publication of a specific subset of classified information concerning communications intelligence.
It was not wilfull, and he did not communicate, deliver or transmit it - not until Gabbard & co. declared it wasn't classified. I reckon the The Atlantic's lawyers would be a bit more across the relevant legals than either of us, just quietly.the willful communication, delivery, or transmittal of national defense information
Again, the journalist didn't solicit, possess, or publish national defense information (again until Gabard & co. declared it wasn't classified). That just leaves you with 'receive' - good luck arguing that being added to a group chat by someone else and doing precisely nothing with that information until after event it pertained to = 'receiving' lolDOJ has several times in the past claimed that the Espionage Act applies to journalists who solicit, receive, possess, or publish national defense information. See, e.g., Memorandum from Edward H. Levi, Attorney General, for President Gerald Ford 5 (May 29, 1975).
If you arrange to meet someone in a carpark for someone to give you stolen property and unbeknownst to you that person was being followed by an undercover cop, do you think yelling "But I never took anything" is going to save you from a receiving stolen property charge?
So its basically as I suspected - you're not basing your position on any data or rationale, merely your beliefs.The issue is whether I believe the information in the chats was classified. Whilst it may have been sensitive there wasn't enough specific information to make any of it actionable. I don't believe the information is classified.
Of course they were all lying when they said no classifed info mate, like what the ****Hegseth, Ratcliffe, Gabbard and the White House all said the chats contained no classified information. So unless you think they're all lying, that's where we are.
"not being taken as seriously"This is crazy talk and why The Atlantic being involved in the 'war plans' leak has been responsible for it not being taken as seriously as it sbould have been.
Wbat a perfect encapsulation.
Why is that Elons responsibility though? Trumps doing the firing. He is signing the exeuctive orders. Musk is merely a employee.
So unless you think they're all lying
Trump would be loving it I reckon. Just get Elon to do all the stuff he wants to do but is too lazy or incompetent to do, have him take a good deal of the blowback for it and all Donnie has to do is the odd Telsa commercial and muse about domestic terrorism.Is it Musk or Trump?
Two people cant take 100% of the credit...

Anyway you've just totally ignored the laundry list of confirmed, objective facts in relation to Trump that led to his charges, the stuff that very clearly explains why Trump was charged and why Goldberg won't be. Not very 'good faith' of you I must say
Again, the journalist didn't solicit, possess, or publish national defense information (again until Gabard & co. declared it wasn't classified). That just leaves you with 'receive' - good luck arguing that being added to a group chat by someone else and doing precisely nothing with that information until after event it pertained to = 'receiving' lol
And you're right, in the scenario you've described you'd be cooked. The more analagous scenario for the reality here would be some random running up to you in the street and shoving something stolen into your hands while the police were observing him, pretty sure you'd be all clear in that scenario.
So its basically as I suspected - you're not basing your position on any data or rationale, merely your beliefs.
There was most definitely actionable information - who the target was (the Houthis), when the strikes were planned to happen and what methods were going to be used - as I've said to you before and just re-iterated to Lebbo, we can assume the Houthis know they are the Houthis and where their own forces threatening shipping are located, yes? Like... they have anti-aircraft capability, demonstrated only a month or so ago.

Houthis Attack U.S. Fighter Jet and Drone
In a close call indicating the tenuous stability of the Red Sea, the Houthis fired surface-to-air missiles at a U.S. F-16 and MQ-9 Reaper drone on February 19 but missed them both, according to reports...www.fdd.org
But the real kicker is the information doesn't even have to be 'actionable' according to the policy; "lnformation providing indication or advance warning that the US or its allies are preparing an attack" is the text. This 'actionable' thing is an invention of people you're following online who are trying to run defense for this quite egregious **** up, and they're still wrong because, yes, clearly the info was actionable had it fallen into the wrong hands (this also takes care of the response you've asked for in regard to your other post, 2990).
Of course they were all lying when they said no classifed info mate, like what the ****
Was straight up proved once Goldberg released the chats the day following Gabbard and Ratcliffe's testimony
So this appears to be a chance to alter how we interact with each other and take some verified, objective facts on board in consideration of our positions, and possibly even learn something occasionally. Considering everything I've laid out above, is it still your contention that the chat contained no classified information?
Yes, you're all very concerned about violence and crime aren't youAlso we are not raging about lefities. We are raging about violence and crime.
Stokey sure walked right into that oneum...Trump?
Wbat a perfect encapsulation.
Its ok mate, not even top 10 in the stupidest things you've said. Just take the L and move on.God you are stupid.
I'm trying my best to change up my tone with him, it was a legit offer.It's this one. They're lying. Because they're liars.
Excuse me for using my mobile. We cant all be shut-ins like yourself.Have you tried typing with your fingers?
No I don't think there was any mockery in there? In fact I re-wrote parts of it as I thought it might have come across a bit harsh, which specific bits do you take issue with?I thought we were toning down the mockery? I restrained myself in my last post to you. Looks like you can't give up your habit.
Retain/receive, like I said good luck arguing that part as it pertains to being added to a group chat by someone else.Anyway, short for time right now and I'll give a fuller response later. Just want to briefly make two points. The willful part is in relation to the retention. You can't argue he didn't willfully retain the information. He also communicated and or transmitted the information with other employees at the Atlantic, as several news articles have outlined in their analysis of whether he's broken any rules.
I'm trying my best to change up my tone with him, it was a legit offer.
Its very, very hard to take someone at face value though when they're oh so innocently wondering how Hegseth and Gabbard could possibly be lying in this situation, I mean come on![]()
I'd love to know what the pro-Trump cohort consider their red line.
Realistically, not some weird deflection, what's the red line that would see them jump off the Trump train?
Any one willing to stick a flag down and say 'here's my line' for us to review over the next four years?
Yep. Have posted similar many times here.There's no principles or values guiding their posting. That's why there's no consistency.
It's all just post-hoc justifications that start with 'Trump is right' as the intended outcome. That's it.
I posted the below in the previous iteration of this thread, and not one single poster was willing to do so:
There's no principles. There's no values. There's no morals. There's no ethics.
There's just Trump.
they don't have any actual core beliefs or principles, its just yay team for them regardless of what their team is actually doing.
In less than 100 days, the Trump regime are disappearing PhD students for being critical of mass murder off the streets, bombing countries, begging Zelenskyy for a minerals deal, playing “let’s make a deal” with tariffs and now unquestionably being Israel’s bitch.
Satellite has about 30 - 50 years left as a viable mass communication technology.[emoji2357]
