From Watergate … To This? The Signal “leak” is not a Democrat smoking gun. UPDATED

The American Spectator   

"Except this isn’t dirt. This is more like an online peeping Tom who couldn’t catch the girls with their clothes off. It’s nothing, and in fact, it suggests just how clean an administration this is if Goldberg and his Watergate Fan Club pals have to resort to this in search of a scandal."

. . ."But the story we’ve been told is that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, or perhaps more accurately, someone on his staff who was handling his phone, somehow invited the Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, a partisan Democrat propagandist known for concocting fabulist stories that cast Trump in a bad light, into the Signal thread.

"Goldberg, after the missile strikes in Yemen successfully took out a number of Houthi fighters, went public with the messages exchanged and accused Hegseth and the others of essentially leaking “war plans” on Signal. The messages appear to have been real, but that didn’t stop Goldberg from lying about them.

"What was said in the Signal thread? Nothing classified other than the hardly-secret fact that our military was going to strike the Houthis less than two hours later.

"There are people demanding resignations over this, which is bizarre. If Goldberg isn’t lying about how he got into the Signal thread, it would seem that someone was a bit careless in policing the roster of participants in that thread, and while that might be worthy of criticism it surely doesn’t rise to the level of, say, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff guaranteeing the Chinese that he would give them fair warning if ever a U.S. attack was imminent. (RELATED: Gen.

"Not a single one of the people incensed about this nothingburger of a story had a cross word to say about Mark Milley, which should put paid to any notions of outrage over the Signal chat.

"In fact, the only real item of interest in the conversation Goldberg leaked out to the public was that Vance expressed reservations about hitting the Houthis, mostly based on the fact that 40 percent of European trade travels through the Suez Canal and Red Sea corridor, while only a nominal amount of American trade does. Vance asked, not unreasonably, what the U.S. was getting out of essentially fighting Europe’s war for it." . . .
