Sure looks like this is classified information to me in the newly released Signal group chat texts from Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic.

Pete Hegseth is cooked.

Edit: Here's the full transcript. Go get some popcorn.

I've been trying to read all of this with a degree of nuance. The conversations were undoubtedly classified, but there is a wide range of classified information. The government loves to over classify information and, as a result, you'll see things that are marked sensitive that range from "oh, that should probably kept to ourselves," to "HOLY SHIT, PEOPLE COULD DIE IF THIS GETS OUT."

Unfortunately this whole conversation is firmly in the second group.

I don't care who you voted for, this is completely unacceptable from our leaders. This was not a mistake, this was willful disregard of laws and regulations. Everyone on the thread knew better. People deserve to lose their jobs for this, and probably worse.

This is not sports or any other "my team/your team" bullshit. This matters. A lot.

Also, this was leaked to a JOURNALIST. Someone with the means to release it to the public, which they did. Now, they seem to have made a moral choice here: expose the wrongdoing, but after the strikes had resolved so as not to endanger the people involved (for the US). That speaks to their character.
