While reading Sunday’s Durango Herald, I looked up at my TV that said in a headline, “Trump says no one will be fired in the Signal witch hunt.”
I don’t think I am wrong on reporter Jeffrey Goldberg being asked to be part of an infamous Signal chat that exposed a bomb drop before it was supposed to happen in Yemen.
This plot, in my opinion, was the hopeful spill-the beans dream of all the recently appointed “Big Wigs” like Vice President Vance and others who were texting each other around March 15.
Maybe a less savvy journalist would have gotten his 15 minutes of fame for disclosing a “secret” too soon if they had seen the same texts by the same top government officials.
If Goldberg had immediately published what he had heard that would have been a high-five moment for the dozen in the Signal chat box. Trump would have been live from the Oval Office expressing his told-you-so moment about a left-wing reporter being grossly irresponsible for the death of our military pilot. Instead, a high ranking enemy in Yemen got bombed in bed with his girlfriend.
The drum beat of wars – here, there and everywhere – unfortunately continue. What a waste.
