Why is Donald Trump silent this morning?
Donald Trump was stunned into silence this morning. Usually we'll see him posting over and over again on his social media platform or sending emails to his supporters. No such post this morning. The last post was about 14 hours ago. This as more information was released by the Atlantic about the leak of war plans on a Signal group thread where the top Department of Defense officials, top national security officials, top military officials, top Trump officials were sending each other emojis as they put actual war plans in the messages, highly classified information. Yesterday, of course, you had Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, head of the CIA, And others say there was no war plans, no attack plans, nothing classified. The Atlantic released more information.
And you can see right here that Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, put the exact sequencing of the entire operation and the types of aircraft that would be used to conduct these strikes all before the operation took place, putting the lives of our fighter pilots and other assets at risk. details like this as sabrina singh say are highly classified just take a look at what hexeth posted team update time now 11 44 weather is favorable just confirmed with zencom we are a go for mission launch 12 15 eastern time f-18s launch first strike package 1345 trigger base F-18 first strike window starts. Target terrorist is at his known location, so should be on time. Also, strike drones launch MQ-9s. More F-18s launch at 1410. 1415 will do strike drones on target. This is when the first bombs will definitely drop. pending earlier trigger-based targets. At 1536, the F-18 second strike starts. Also, first sea-based Tomahawks are launched.
So now that this has been released, because that piece was not released yesterday, so the Trump regime went out and they were like denying, denying, denying, or saying nothing was classified, even though what was already released was classified. And then the Atlantic dropped that. It also just shows that how just reckless and negligent the Trump regime is even at the cover-up itself. So now what the Department of Defense is going with is that, look, the Atlantic is backpedaling because the title of the Atlantic article from this morning about those new messages I just shared with you are, Here are the attack plans that Trump advisor shared on Signal. The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to the Atlantic's editor-in-chief.
So the Department of Defense is going, aha! The Atlantic is now saying that these are attack plans and not war plans. So clearly they're not war plans. Look, the Atlantic is taking it all back. As our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski, goes, this is really the lame ass defense that the Trump regime is going with. that they were attack plans and not war plans. And then all these MAGA influencers are doing that as well. They're highlighting the part of the Atlantic headline that says attack plans, like Sean Parnell goes. It's no surprise the hoax peddlers at the Atlantic have already abandoned their war plans claim. These additional signal chat messages confirmed there were no classified materials or war plan shared.
The secretary was merely updating the group on the plan. That's as classified of information as you can get. So then Tulsi Gabbard moments ago, as again, Trump was in silence, Tulsi Gabbard testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, and now she's backpedaling and kind of throwing Hegseth under the bus saying, Because yesterday she said there was no classified information, no attack plans. It was just basic communication, which it wasn't what we saw yesterday. So here's what she's going with now. Watch as she throws others under the bus. Play this clip.
Yes, Ranking Member. My answer yesterday was based on my recollection or the lack thereof on the details that were posted there. I was not, and what was shared today reflects the fact that I was not directly involved with that part of the signal chat and replied at the end reflecting the effects the very brief effects that the National Security Advisor had shared.
