I thought the same. A highly credible responsible journalist. Would have been a very different story had it been Amaryllis Mar 2025 #32

I'm skeptical of some of this EdmondDantes_ Mar 2025 #10

Do we even know for sure it was Waltz who added Goldberg? He has no recollection of so doing. They all seemed to be Amaryllis Mar 2025 #35

Yet, he said he would take full responsibility SheltieLover Mar 2025 #43

Yes, Waltz invited him. There's a screenshot. Shipwack Mar 2025 #77

But who gave Waltz Goldberg's private cell number in the first place? Ocelot II Mar 2025 #79

That is a very interesting question... Shipwack Mar 2025 #84

But even if they were looking for a different JG, a DoD employee whose number Ocelot II Mar 2025 #85

I meant using the search function in signal, not an official government directory. Shipwack Mar 2025 #92

Goldberg implied he was trying to interview Waltz about something else. summer_in_TX Mar 2025 #139

Goldberg said this morning SARose Mar 2025 #87

That's interesting - not that Goldberg and Waltz had met, which isn't surprising Ocelot II Mar 2025 #93

Prairie Gates is using the word "literally" correctly but attacking the word is all you are reduced to Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2025 #148

My point NJCher Mar 2025 #154

Your point that it is "overused" is pointless and logically has nothing to do with Prairie Gates proper use. Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2025 #158

Yes, that's all true, but how did Waltz get Goldberg's private cell number? Ocelot II Mar 2025 #83
