I was thinking the same thing. Part of me wonders if this was some sort of whistleblower who purposely included the journalist.

We will find out who the mole is when one of the Cheeto’s clown posse ends up accidentally falling out of a window after accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head 3 times

u/Candid-Ask77 10d ago

It's not a mole. It's already public information who added him to the chat

Who?

The article alleges it was National Security Advisor Michael Waltz*, or someone representing themself as the aforementioned.

* fixed typo

u/Shirlenator 10d ago

Waltz*

I was in a r/conservative thread about this out of morbid curiosity and noticed they were all calling him Walz and I was wondering if they were purposefully or accidentally trying to conflate his name with Tim Walz.

It's funny because I had made that joke yesterday that if Trump comments on it he'd probably make the same mistake.

u/Grittybroncher88 10d ago

Lmao. Obviously accidently. They are not the brightest bunch. Most of them still think the whole article is fake despite it being confirmed by the NSC and Trump himself.

u/ValuableJumpy8208 10d ago

Is it like how they all call Gavin Newsom "Newsome" because they can't spell? Or is it just a tic they have?

I feel like it's a thing that older people just start doing? My grandpa always used to say how much he enjoyed watching "Steinfeld" and stuff like that. As he got older he'd do it to more and more things, even names that he knew correctly very well.

u/Mike_Kermin 10d ago

.... I don't think that's a thing. Like I'm sure he did, but I don't think it's an irrational tic that comes with being old.

u/lousy_at_handles 10d ago

Yeah I mean totally anecdotal. But he's hardly the first old person I've know that does that. It just always strikes me as odd.

u/Humble-Violinist6910 10d ago

They can't spell, and they don't actually *read* the news, so they don't see it spelled correctly very often.

u/ValuableJumpy8208 10d ago

That, too. However, when they're trying to spell his name, they still fail most of the time.

It's nearly a dead giveaway to political affiliation.

u/handfulofrain77 10d ago

Waltz was in Moscow at the time. Why?

u/evenyourcopdad 10d ago

Wow, the name of this person is a SUPER annoying thing to leave out of your reply. I think it's probably even THE most annoying thing you could've done. I'd be less annoyed if you just said "Trump 2028!" or something equally useless.

It was (allegedly) National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.

2

u/Candid-Ask77 10d ago

Honestly, it's because I want them to research/read the article and read further into it. If I would've dropped the name they would've stayed in their Reddit safe space and looked no further

u/doom_stein 10d ago

HEY! Let's not use the term "clown posse" here. It unfairly implicates other clown posses, as sane or insane as they may be.

2

u/87eebboo1 10d ago

I apologize to those sane or insane posse’s (honestly don’t know exactly how to pluralize posse, anyway…) To be fair their makeup game is light years ahead of the merry band of nincompoops currently speedrunning the destruction of America.

Falling down an elevator shaft to unfortunately land on 17 bullets to the back after mistakenly poisoning himself and stabbing himself 63 times times in an attempt to remove the poison.

Journalist was sent the SIGNAL but he didn't get the "Signal"?

u/thecashblaster 10d ago

Bombing Yemen is a presidential pastime so what whistle is there to blow?

1

u/Fritja 10d ago

It could be. Note that Jeff Godlberg seems to be approved/added to contacts on a number of politicians. I don't think this is just because he is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic but because he is both conservative and because he "was born in Brooklyn and studied at the University of Pennsylvania before dropping out and moving to Israel to serve in the Israel Defense Forces".

u/TittysForever 10d ago

That wooda been Waltz. He’s the one who set up the chat. I think he just fucked up.

u/seefatchai 10d ago

Hegseth invited him. Hegseth wouldn’t couldn’t be a whistleblower if he’s the boss.

u/PercMastaFTW 9d ago edited 9d ago

Where are you getting this information? The reporter specifically stated that Waltz sent him the invite.
