… especially since they weren’t the organizers (e.g. does Hegseth have Ratliff’s phone number ?)… there might have been more than one “unknown” number for any particular participant

That you can’t answer exact # means some amount of fuzziness… in this case, it’s ~50% larger… clearly these participants didn’t care about a lot of things (classified info, transparency), so not surprising this diff phone number didn’t register either
1/2

What does Randy Fine have to say about Mike Waltz (now?) and Pete Hegseth, @joshweil.bsky.social ?

With 18 people?

Second part is incorrect, it was simultaneous

Thinking about it, 18 participants is about when you start tuning out who’s there (esp if they don’t say anything)… and IIRC the reporting is the JG was added first

Midterms are 20 months away… and it just needs 2 Rs to be pissed off enough about it (or anti-Hegseth to begin with) for it to be now

This is sufficient… Hegseth clearly violated the Espionage Act… the rest of the conversation very well might (IANAL)

They weren’t “sent to the Atlantic” like it was done by some third party…

Or Yemen?
