    'Aren't these the same people who apparently used Signal with a journalist...'
Are people still believing that story? That leak was 110% intentional, just look at the language used during their conversation.

The whole thing looked like a digital version of a stage whisper.

> The investigation has led to turmoil within the Defense Department, raising tensions and the firings and resignations of several top DoD officials, including former Chief of Staff Joe Kasper. [...] On May 1, 2025, it was revealed that both national security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong would be leaving their posts in the National Security Council

Let me guess, the "leak" was intentional just to break a bunch of laws and to cause a bunch of people to get fired and leave their posts?

They do a lot of mental heavy lifting to support a corrupt and incompetent administration- sunk cost fallacy I imagine.

The facts simply do not bear this interpretation out. Investigations and heads rolling for a stage whisper? Nah
