The leak is from 2011-2022. He wasn't in the government then!!!!

Maybe something fun about his book. https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/19555...

What a weird looking book. The cover shows Trump as the king, lol Anyways, if i were a parent, i'd certainly try to do everything to prevent my kids (under 10) from getting into politics. Let them live as normal kids should.

Most incompetent administration in the modern era.

Think about it this way, this administration is the most competent administraion we've ever had at being incompetent.

I dont know why your comment got grayed out but it made me smile.

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.

The US media has a clear understanding that their reporting on the war needs to be filtered and biased. This is not some coming-to-their-senses against sensationalism, but a nothingburger they know they can't sensationalize without great risk.

As is the case in any administration; let alone with an admin as vindictive as Trump's.

This "balanced take" warrants kudos?

We're not even pretending to lift the bar off the ground when it comes to mainstream media, are we?

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?

That’s depressingly common with politicians the world over because Signal supports disappearing messages.

So I wouldn’t expect someone who uses Signal to automatically be the kind of person to use personal email for work.

GMail, like Apple, has specific enhanced security programs available for Politically Exposed Persons: https://landing.google.com/intl/en_in/advancedprotection/ The fact the Director of the FBI did not avail himself of this just reiterates how incompetent he is, in addition to being corrupt as heck.

Read the article he wasn't the director of the FBI: "The stolen emails appear to date from around 2011 to 2022"

He's had over a year to enable it.
