“Chatgate: Senator Mark Warner’s Shifting Stance on Leaks”—
https://www.racket.news/p/chatgate-senator-mark-warners-shifting
H/T Powerline blog.

Opening grafs:

Senator Mark Warner, talking to MSNBC about the “military plans” leak to Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg:

“Rachel, I didn’t think this administration could still shock me, but today’s story, which I read about in the Atlantic, was beyond belief. It was like, “Holy crap on steroids!” This is another example of carelessness, sloppiness and a crowd that’s not ready for prime time… My God, if this had been the Democrats, there would be investigations, there would be hearings. We’re gonna have this tomorrow!”

This is the same Mark Warner who was Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee whose head of security, James A. Wolfe, was criminally convicted in 2018 of lying to the FBI about leaking the Carter Page FISA material to a pair of journalists. Warner didn’t invoke shock, crap or steroids in response to that leak, which led to stories calling a former Trump aide an “agent of a foreign power.” In fact, Warner wrote a letter to the judge in Wolfe’s case, Ketanji Brown Jackson, recommending leniency….

Had that happened it would indeed have been bad. But that did not happen. There were no “details”, and nothing was “classified”.

Those are lies you have to chosen to listen to, amplify, and spread here. They’ve already been debunked.

That snippet you quoted shows very clearly that the mission had been planned for some time and that many people not in the meeting already knew about it. That’s why I said what I did about Fantasy Island; I think that’s where you’re living, where an air strike is planned, prepared. and executed all in two hours at a word from Hesgeth’s mouth.

When CENTCOM said it was ready, that meant ordnance was loaded, targets already selected and surveilled, pilots already briefed and ready to go, the planes to be used already running, etc. THOSE are the details.

And all the people on the ground in all those different places who got everything ready, they were the ones in possession of the “details”.

The judge assigned to a civil lawsuit regarding a Signal group chat among Trump cabinet members on Houthi strikes is the same judge who issued an order to block the administration’s deportation of suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members.

James Boasberg, the Obama-appointed chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is assigned to the case that a group called American Oversight is bringing against five of the cabinet members, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney.

I would like to see their argument for standing.
And it looks like the Babylon Bee has given up satire for straight news reporting.
