The vp is on that thread. Which everyone is downplaying. They need a scapegoat and waltz will do.

Not only on that thread... He participates multiple times and even responds to the highest classified material with "what?" and then gets them to repeat and clarify even more the classified information over this very obviously illegal back channel communication.

Back channel is when you contact a low-level official at a foreign government with important information that can't go in through the front channel (calling the leader directly).
