>“This isn’t an FBI compromise — it’s someone’s personal junk drawer,” he said. Eh, with how many people in the current administration seem to use out of band channels to communicate very important things who knows what else they located.

This isn’t a written by a human — it's a AI-accelerated piece.

But ... but her emails!

I mean, yes? You can give whatever weight you want to the whole thing, but the core issue with Hillary Clinton and the emails was that she was storing material on a private server rather than in official infrastructure.

If Patel didn't do such thing here, the breach should only expose personal stuff, if he did, then it's much more of a problem, but either way this is a really clear example of why concern was raised back at the time.

I'm sorry but nothing can ever be more embarrassing for that man who wrote this book to get that job

What an absolute clown

But far more seriously, imagine the danger he has put this country into by firing so many critical people, some specifically and uniquely for Iran and Middle-East defense

Let's hope we don't get another 9/11 in the next 1000 days because they are completely unprepared and won't ever see it coming, maybe even on purpose

I'm sure it will be embarrassing for him personally, but not a breach of U.S. government systems. Kudos to CNN for publishing a balanced take on it.

These are a group that used outside signal chats to discuss war plans. What odds do you have that he didn't use a personal email to avoid future accountability?
