Are We Still Talking About This Cringe GayOp?

Unfortunately we are.

A commenter linked a xeet in which the user speculated that Jeffrey Goldberg, Real Reporter and Totally Not a Democrat Political Operative, held on to a "scoop" he had two weeks ago to release it on the day that Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, for the purpose of badgering Trump officials into not using Signal.

Which Biden approved the use of, btw.

And they did this so that their allies in the Administration could once again spy on them using hacker back-doors into the government's email systems.

Why hold on to a fake "scoop" for so long if not for a political attack purpose? People release scoops ASAP because there's always the chance someone will out-scoop you first. How did Jeffrey Goldberg know he wasn't the only person accidentally added to the chat?

So no, he held it for one reason only, to give his Democrat bosses time to plan a coordinated op.

Matt Margolis reports that Little Jeffrey has trouble even responding to the Tough and Probing Questions offered by... The Bulwark.

The Administration says that none of the texts Jeffrey Goldberg were classified, which means they are officially un-classified and Jeffrey Goldberg can legally release them.

Instead, he plays a game where he insists that he saw all sorts of "war plans" and Top Secrets but he can't say what they were because Sacred Honor compels him.

The Bulwark's nasty Professional Homosexual Tim Miller (the others are hobbyists only) has trouble understanding why Goldberg just won't release the Totally Classified Texts given that the Administration says they're not classified at all.

The Democrats' latest effort to manufacture a Trump administration scandal blew up in their faces this week after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, reported that he was somehow included in an encrypted Signal chat group with top administration officials discussing a planned attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen. According to Goldberg, officials discussed classified and/or top-secret war plans.

No one disputes that Goldberg was erroneously included in the chat, but the real issue is whether classified or top-secret war plans were actually discussed.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe and DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard testified that nothing classified or top secret was discussed in the chat. Others in the administration have said the same thing.

Goldberg had been given the opening to release the chats in their entirety to prove them wrong. But he insisted that he wouldn't.

During an interview on The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller, Goldberg repeatedly evaded calls to produce evidence, raising serious questions about the credibility of his claims.

Miller directly challenged Goldberg, pointing out that top Trump administration officials had accused him of lying. "Now, the Secretary of Defense and the White House Press Secretary have said you're lying, have said there are no war plans there, have said there's no classified information," Miller stated. "So the obvious question is, shouldn't you now demonstrate it? Shouldn't you publish the text?"

Goldberg flatly refused. "No, because they're wrong. They're wrong," he insisted, offering no proof to back up his claims.

Here's the problem with that claim: In the encrypted chat, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz explicitly mentioned the participants' "high side" inboxes, a reference to the classified system. This made it clear they knew certain topics couldn't be discussed on the Signal platform.

Miller pressed Goldberg further in the interview, asking whether he would at least provide the alleged messages to congressional intelligence committees. Instead of responding substantively, Goldberg deflected with sarcasm. "Wow. What? You wanna become my lawyer?" he quipped with an annoyed tone. He clearly wasn't comfortable with the line of questioning, and I got the sense he was hiding something.

As the conversation continued, Goldberg struggled to justify his refusal to produce evidence, resorting to vague justifications. "Just because they're irresponsible with material doesn't mean that I'm gonna be irresponsible with this material," he said. He further attempted to cast doubt on the administration's credibility, suggesting officials were merely trying to "get out of a jam."

In a final attempt to defend his decision, Goldberg framed it as a matter of principle. "I have a pretty clear standard in my own behavior of what I consider... information that I consider to be in the public interest, even if it's technically classified or not," he said, adding that he was "sticking to my principles."

Muh Prinzibuhls! The fake reporter claims that his journalistic prinzibuhls demand that he not release information which the government says is not classified and therefore perfectly legal to report.

Please brah, you gotta believe me brah, those texts were totally filled with Top Secret War Plans, I just can't prove it brah, muh prinzibuhls won't allow me to vindicate my name, you just have to believe me brah.

The liberal neocon propaganda network Fox News dispatched its leftwing gonzo War Whore Jennifer Griffin to spread the Fake News:
