The whole response to the Atlantic journalist being added to the war group chat is baffling. Disclaimer I'm no US political editor, I don't know the inner workings of US govt.
Why is the response "this is not a war chat" "there is no classified info" "maybe it was intentional"
Just... "oh we fucked up, there's a breach, we shall investigate, we fired the person who added the journo into the group chat" would've worked?
Unless you are dragging this news out to cover up some other major scandal?
