‘Signal Chat’ Trump officials can end in missing American life ‘: Sen. Warner

Senator Mark Warner, D-Vva., Said on Sunday that if information had leaked from Trump’s national security signal chatter who discussed plans to attack Houthi in Yemen, American life could have disappeared.

“I, yesterday, got off at Hampton Roads. I did two major city halls, Virginia beach and chesapeake. There were people at the city hall who were friends or relatives of people in [aircraft carrier USS Harry S.] Truman. The people said that if their loved ones or loved ones flew the jet-jet and that information had been released and Houthi could change their defensive posture, we could lose American life, “Warner, Democratic ranking at the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in an interview with co-dancing Martha Raddatz at ABC News'” this week. “

On Monday, Atlantic Editor in Chief revealed that Mike Waltz’s national security advisor accidentally put it in a chat with high -ranking Trump officials who discussed plans for Yemen’s attacks. Trump’s government has pushed back the claim that the information included in the chat is confidential information.

Warner said, “There is no question, regardless of the right of choice, that this is classified … and people who obscure and give them benefits from doubt, I think they lie about they must know this is classified.”

Representative of the Republic of Mike Turner, former Chair of the DPR Intelligence Committee, and the former NATO Highest Allied Commander James Stavridis also burdened a signal chat on “this week.”

The following is the spotlight of Warner, Turner and Stavridis interviews:

Warner about whether the information in the chat is classified

Raddatz: “There is a very strong rejection of the administration that there is something classified. So it’s quite simple, is this confidential information or not?”

Warner: “Of course. That is when you do the actual battle plan and time, what type of aircraft is sent. If you have become a traditional military officer or CIA social worker, and you are careless and careless with this secret information, you will be fired, no doubt.”

Warner on Bondi’s response

Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News that he was sure that signal was a safe way to communicate and could not be hacked by foreign enemies.

Raddatz: “Is that true?”

Warner: “The signal is safer than your normal cellphone. It is encrypted. But if Ms. Bondi has seen one of the guidelines from the intelligence community which explicitly does not use signals for confidential information.”

Raddatz: “Are you using a signal?”

Warner: “I use a signal to talk to someone because it is safer. I really encourage people to use signals, but it is still meaningless because it is safer, you can place confidential information. In fact, once again, if Bondi knows anything about his work, he will know that we have reports about China and Russia who are trying to break in to give a signal.”

Turner whether the information in the chat is classified

Raddatz: “So let me ask specifically what I ask Senator Warner. Do you think this – that some of the messages, especially those sent by Pete Hegseth, are classified?”

Turner: “Well, obviously, the subject matter being discussed, the ongoing military operations, must and be considered as confidential information. And and and shock to find it in a way that is not classified, to find it in this way -shrinking. However, this is not a war plan and at the Atlantic and and Goldberg of course -“

Raddatz: “But, what is such a word game?

Turner: “They are not really attacking plans. You know they are -they are discussing on the ongoing military operation. But in that case, Atlantic and Goldberg are completely watching themselves. They really lose a few -some credibility. Discussed or not.

Raddatz: “So you say that might be – so you say maybe Pete Hegseth said, when he wrote the messages, it was classified, and then since he said, ‘Oh, that was not classified,’ and everyone, that was described?”

Turner: “That – he will be in his authority. That is something that will be seen by the Inspector General.”

Turner about the ability of hegseth to decline information

Raddatz: “So – so you will say it is classified? Or not?”

Turner: “I will say that the White House may be legalistic and that people who discuss this information, of course, have the ability to decline information. And when they make a decision to enter into the conversation that is declified, it might be declared. And that is something I think about -“

Raddatz: “By – by Hegseth?”

Turner: “Maybe. And that applies to the problem – maybe what we will see in the investigation of this general inspector requested by the Senate Service Committee. They have actually requested both – to look into – the use of signals in all institutions, but also the source of this information. Is this information, when it is given to individuals, which is classified in that case – in its nature? Classified when given to them?

Turner on Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth

Raddatz: “Do you think there must be accountability? And do you have trust in the Secretary of Hegseth and Mike Waltz in the future?”

Turner: “Of course. I think they are doing very good work. They are very important to us – our national security. And of course, there is no impact on this operation. That is a great operation and I think they do very good jobs.”

Stavridis about overseas implications in signal applications

Raddatz: “Admiral, you have so many important jobs for years, including senior military assistants [former Secretary of Defense] Donald Rumsfeld. So, when you see what happens to the signal application, do you think it can make lives in risk? “

Stavridis: “I do not hesitate that it can happen. Every time you reveal tactical information, you don’t know where it ends. Potential, Russia, China, can they talk to Iran, who can talk to Houthi – of course, it will endanger lives.”

Raddatz: “Do you think there must be accountability?”

Stavridis: “I believe it is up to the Supreme Commander, the President. I think what should have a comprehensive public and transparent investigation. Where are the cellphones now? What information is, what other conversations are done to them?”
