26 Things I Know About the Signalgate SNAFU
An accounting of the hubris, hypocrisy, and media spin that has compromised our national security.
Look, I know I’m prone to using dramatic prose. What can I say? I love a good turn of phrase.
But now’s not the time for that.
The spin coming from the White House around this story published by Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg is shameful. As many of those involved try to manipulate the facts to cover their own rear ends, there needs to be a clear accounting of the truth. And because of our hyper-partisan media environment, it must be one that relies not on partisan dynamics or individual reputations, but on the facts alone.
So I’m leaving out the opinion and the bluster for a change. All that you will find below is a list of 26 things I know about this event, with each line containing links to evidence.
I don’t want to convince you of anything. Today, make your own opinion.
These are all facts. This is what I know, and now it’s what you know.
Now you can make up your own mind about who to believe.
You can make up your own opinion on whether our government is run by competent patriots or inept stooges put in place solely because of their undying loyalty to one man.
You can determine all on your own if this administration is one worth defending when it clearly doesn’t defend you.
Sorry, a little bit of opinion did end up sneaking in there at the end.
I told you I’m a sucker for prose.
