Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) says Republican senators will get to the bottom of how Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, got added to a group chat among senior Trump administration national security officials, during which classified details about a military strike against Houthi rebels were disclosed.
“We’re just finding out about it but obviously we’ve got to run it to ground and figure out what went on there,” Thune told reporters Monday when asked if he was concerned about the leak and whether the Senate would investigate the security breach.
“We’ll have a plan,” he added.
Thune spoke to reporters shortly after Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a senior member of the Intelligence Committee, called the inadvertent inclusion of a journalist on a group chat of senior national security officials “a huge screwup.”
“Sounds like a huge screwup. I mean, is there any other way to describe it?” Cornyn told reporters at the Capitol Monday.
Senate Democrats slammed Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz and others for discussing details about missile strikes on a commercially available app and failing to take pains to ensure the identities of the individuals on the chat.

I’m pretty sure a moron added him to the list, which doesn’t really narrow the possibilities much regarding who’s responsible.
The screw up wasn’t just that they included a journalist. The screw up was that this conversation was occurring on signal at all.
> The myth also gave rise to the concept behind the saying “If only the Führer knew”: when the German people were dissatisfied with the way the country was being run, they blamed it on Nazi bigwigs but fell short of laying any blame on Hitler himself, instead exempting him from culpability. They believed that if Hitler knew what was happening, he would set things right.
*“Sounds like a huge screwup. I mean, is there any other way to describe it?” Cornyn told reporters at the Capitol Monday.*
The screwup began with the Republican nomination.
Democrats need to change their language. They need to wrap themselves in the flag and use words such as “incompetent”, “bumbling”, “failed”, “inept” and “unpatriotic”, repeatedly.
Fixating on GOP meanness and racism backfires. It signals to the voters that the Republicans know how to make the trains run on time. There are even targets of racism who will prioritize the train schedule.
It’s says in the article Mike Waltz added the journalist.
That’s how he was included.
