No, that's a good point. As you say, I think it made Vance in particular look good. He can't be he can't be construed as a Trump toady after looking at this. You know, he had some principled differences with Donald Trump. He said this conflicts with our messaging about Ukraine, with our general anti-war stance. Also, as he as you mentioned, it seems to favor the European interests over our own.

If there were if we're going to play games with conspiracy theories and 40 chess, it's J.D. Vance, I think, who comes out looking best because it shows that he's both in the loop, independent, thoughtful and nobody's fool. At the same time, he plays with the team. All I know is that I'm Jeffrey Goldberg sitting there going, wow, I had I had a bug in the White House. Now I don't.

Well, they can subpoena him and get it anyway. So what's the problem here? Why does the Trump administration have to go first? This feels like a giant advertisement for Signal to me. We find out that the CIA uses it and trusts it. Well, at least they went to Signal.

Peter Stroke, the head of counterintelligence over at the FBI, was, you know, talking to his mistress about how he was going to disrupt the Trump administration on regular text messaging apps. At least they've scaled up a little here.

Except we three and we're pretty, pretty hip people who try to follow these things. And yet we have no idea. What's strange about it is I've never accidentally added anyone to a signal chat. That hasn't happened to me.

I have better tradecraft than Mike Waltz, I've learned from this story. Why should I here in Montana with my strange group of friends, which are similar to yours, I imagine, Megan, you know, from all over the place, take more care with who I allow to see the more sensitive parts of my communications? The truth is we actually don't know.
