Comment on When Your Threat Model Is Being a Moron

I was most disappointed when I read that he left the group chat. Missed opportunity for some top-class trolling:

Although that may have had him arrested/raided for accessing most secret information he lacks clearance for, so leaving upon finding out it was the real thing and not a joke group was the better move.

He didn’t “access” anything, it was sent directly to him.

  But that obviously wouldn’t stop them from having him disappeared. Heck I don’t even think that’s off the table now

    Probably not, especially now that he’s leaking the previously undisclosed classified information (that the people involved insisted was not classified). But them’s the brakes when you’re a journalist.

    I think even the Trump administration is just about bright enough to realize that disappearing a top journalist wouldn’t go well for them. Especially if he never turned up again.

  Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?
  
  That’s the kind of idiots you’re dealing with here. “We added you to a group chat by mistake and it’s all YOUR fault.”

The reporter is a former IDF soldier, there is no way he would face any real blowback from Trump. There is a reason they had his number to add to the group and it’s because they were already feeding him information. The Atlantic is just a left coded mouthpiece for the State Department.

  So your conspiracy is that a left-wing aligned journalist was in the phone of a right-wing politician. Therefore it’s his fault he received the information and shouldn’t have reported it?
  
  Really? Even the flat Earth people would think that’s stupid.

    Lol, I didn’t say any of that. But it’s a fact Goldberg has been a mouthpiece for the State department going back to at least the Iraq war in my opinion. He’s not a Trump guy but just doesn’t want to piss off any current administration so he won’t lose his access.
