People Need To Understand Why They Are Using Signal [View all]

The screen shot that Jeffrey Goldberg took showed a time stamp, that means that after a period of time the messages self-delete.

1. This is a violation of the Federal Records keeping Act.

2. This means that they plan to do shit that is illegal on Signal and if they are subpoenaed for documents they won't have them because they self-deleted.

At the Senate hearing it was Hegseth, I believe, who said that it is not illegal to use Signal if it is backed up on a government device. A Democrat should have asked Hegseth to see the saved document, can still ask, should still ask, to see it, because they do not have it.

They have been using Signal for at least a month and plan to keep using it. Dems can't let this get swept under the carpet.

We would have never known about this had they not inadvertently copied Jeffrey Goldberg, we will never know if they continue using Signal.
