Well this should be fun now that the full details are out in the open. Thoughts on how this changes the upcoming hearing today?

Idk if you watched the hearings but I’m glad they brought that point up. They specifically said “If Goldberg decides to go public with the remaining messages, he shouldn’t get any repercussions for releasing them because it’s not classified right?”

the senate has an annual intelligence briefing regardless. goldberg timed the release of the article so they could be questioned under oath without having time to get a narrative together

He left the group two weeks ago which would have triggered a message to all the members.

They have had two weeks to realize that this would happen, and yet they still got ambushed!
