SANCHEZ The administration has ░░░░░░░░ confirmed to CNN that ░░░░░░░░ Signal message group was ░░░░░░░░ STELTER Yes and Goldberg ░░░░░░░░ knows that as well ░░░░░░░░ wondered for days if ░░░░░░░░ was real or if ░░░░░░░░ was a setup Goldberg ░░░░░░░░ been criticized by Trump ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration in ░░░░░░░░ past Just last week ░░░░░░░░ attacked the Atlantic Magazine ░░░░░░░░ the same time that ░░░░░░░░ know Goldberg was working ░░░░░░░░ this story So Goldberg ░░░░░░░░ was this real or ░░░░░░░░ it a trap was ░░░░░░░░ trying to trick him ░░░░░░░░ once the bombs actually ░░░░░░░░ in Yemen he realized ░░░░░░░░ was real and something ░░░░░░░░ reporting on Also noteworthy ░░░░░░░░ has now left that ░░░░░░░░ chat even though presumably ░░░░░░░░ could have stayed in ░░░░░░░░ and kept listening in ░░░░░░░░ a while longer Goldberg ░░░░░░░░ article at the Atlantic ░░░░░░░░ is well worth a ░░░░░░░░ for people who haven ░░░░░░░░ read it yet It ░░░░░░░░ very revealing about the ░░░░░░░░ workings of the Trump ░░░░░░░░ and it does raise ░░░░░░░░ sorts of questions some ░░░░░░░░ which you all have ░░░░░░░░ brought up In a ░░░░░░░░ administration we d be ░░░░░░░░ about disciplinary action we ░░░░░░░░ be talking about legislative ░░░░░░░░ We ve already seen ░░░░░░░░ House Democrats in the ░░░░░░░░ hour call for hearings ░░░░░░░░ ll see if any ░░░░░░░░ agree with that You ░░░░░░░░ just the other day ░░░░░░░░ Defense Department and the ░░░░░░░░ Department both announced leak ░░░░░░░░ pursuing people who were ░░░░░░░░ to news organizations And ░░░░░░░░ we know right at ░░░░░░░░ same very time an ░░░░░░░░ leak was happening by ░░░░░░░░ s own deputies KEILAR ░░░░░░░░ certainly And there s ░░░░░░░░ this issue Brian which ░░░░░░░░ of I think is ░░░░░░░░ journalistic interest after the ░░░░░░░░ of an administration the ░░░░░░░░ issue because according to ░░░░░░░░ in this Signal chat ░░░░░░░░ was set to if ░░░░░░░░ use Signal it will ░░░░░░░░ can have it delete ░░░░░░░░ you know whatever you ░░░░░░░░ like a time But ░░░░░░░░ had been set to ░░░░░░░░ in one week or ░░░░░░░░ some cases four weeks ░░░░░░░░ part of it What ░░░░░░░░ you think about that ░░░░░░░░ now you have this ░░░░░░░░ conversation that should clearly ░░░░░░░░ part of the record ░░░░░░░░ this presidency that is ░░░░░░░░ to go poof into ░░░░░░░░ ether except for we ░░░░░░░░ it in the Atlantic ░░░░░░░░ guess STELTER Well and ░░░░░░░░ Atlantic indicates that right ░░░░░░░░ conversations should happen on ░░░░░░░░ servers on classified servers ░░░░░░░░ in SCIFs secure compartmentalized ░░░░░░░░ facilities The idea that ░░░░░░░░ all these Trump deputies ░░░░░░░░ hanging out chatting on ░░░░░░░░ instead that is very ░░░░░░░░ and that s going ░░░░░░░░ raise a lot of ░░░░░░░░ flags Let s keep ░░░░░░░░ mind here Goldberg was ░░░░░░░░ very classified information names ░░░░░░░░ CIA officers apparently he ░░░░░░░░ seeing the war plans ░░░░░░░░ the plans were enacted ░░░░░░░░ if somebody else had ░░░░░░░░ added to this group ░░░░░░░░ there were real national ░░░░░░░░ concerns here It reminds ░░░░░░░░ of you know the ░░░░░░░░ are always taught in ░░░░░░░░ about the best and ░░░░░░░░ running government And then ░░░░░░░░ like this erupt and ░░░░░░░░ see how human the ░░░░░░░░ actually is You know ░░░░░░░░ texting war plans it ░░░░░░░░ something we ve never ░░░░░░░░ seen before And you ░░░░░░░░ people are going to ░░░░░░░░ to figure out why ░░░░░░░░ Goldberg added to this ░░░░░░░░ are some theories that ░░░░░░░░ were trying to add ░░░░░░░░ else with the initials ░░░░░░░░ maybe Jamieson Greer the ░░░░░░░░ S trade representative That ░░░░░░░░ have made sense But ░░░░░░░░ point here is it ░░░░░░░░ so simple so easy ░░░░░░░░ sloppy to add a ░░░░░░░░ from the Atlantic instead ░░░░░░░░ of course Goldberg was ░░░░░░░░ he didn t tell ░░░░░░░░ He didn t go ░░░░░░░░ and share the war ░░░░░░░░ of course He just ░░░░░░░░ in and tried to ░░░░░░░░ out if this was ░░░░░░░░ or not and apparently ░░░░░░░░ was all too real ░░░░░░░░ Yeah things could have ░░░░░░░░ gone a number of ░░░░░░░░ directions even if one ░░░░░░░░ these officials had lost ░░░░░░░░ phone And you know ░░░░░░░░ there are folks out ░░░░░░░░ closely watching Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ from adversarial governments Brian ░░░░░░░░ thank you so much.”
