Goldberg writes that the use of a signal has violated US law. He wrote, “In fact, Waltz would have violated numerous clauses of the Speat by integrating national security proceedings on the signal, which, according to several national security lawyers interviewing my colleague Shane Harris for this story, is the rule of ‘national defense’.
The article states that the signal is not authorized to share such information, and the use of a feature of Walts that expires the messages after a stipulated period “raises questions about whether the personnel have violated the federal record law. Goldberg writes that by transferring information to someone “created new security and legal issues” that had no authority to see it, “the classic definition of leak, even if it was unintentional,” Goldberg wrote.
The “JD Venice” account raised the question of the war plan in a signal message March 14. “I am not sure that the president knows how contradictory his message about Europe right now,” the message says. “There is more danger that we see oil prices rising from moderately. I am ready to support the team’s consensus and maintain these concerns. But there is a strong argument for delaying this month, when doing messaging work is where this economy is, etc.”
The Venice account also states, “3 percent of US trade is from Suez. 40 percent of European trade,” and “I just hate to guarantee Europe once again.” The Hegsith account replied, “I fully share your European free loading hatred. It is pitiful,” he added, “We are the only ones on the planet (in the leading aspect of the ledger) that they can do.”
Apparently an account from Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller wrote, “As I heard it, the president was clear: Green Light, but we soon become clear about Egypt and Europe, in return we expect. We also need to know how to impose such a need, if needed.”
