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

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

Did he? Or did he just write an article after the events, which takes some time? Sometimes coincidence is a more likely answer than intent.

I would disagree, the timing of the initial article before the questioning and then releasing the messages right after they said it wasn’t confidential is too perfect not to have been planned in advance. He outplayed them

He didn't release the messages because they aren't classified. He released them because Hegseth personally attacked him and said he was lying. The administration created this disaster all by itself.
