44. You win!

[lunatica]

47. Magassholes!

[lisa58]

3. My thoughts exactly

[Pachamama]

4. They should have confiscated phones

That’s incredible

[stopdiggin]

6. Who should have ... Whaaaat?

[Pachamama]

7. SCIF

That’s what

[stopdiggin]

10. It's a ZOOM call

---- ----

[Pachamama]

15. Yeah no shit

The White House situation room also has video conferencing and is a SCIF

The point however was to prevent any attendee from broadcasting the time of the call.

[stopdiggin]

19. it could have been done as you suggest

(and thank you for your expertise) - with a whole hell of a lot less attendees. But it wasn't. And so - you're comment about 'taking phones' frankly didn't make any sense.

[Pachamama]

22. The saddest thing is that we even have to be worried that a sitting Senator would be so careless

…and do such a thing to endanger the safety of a leader of a Nation at War whose safety is being entrusted to them.

Deliberate or incompetent? Either or both. Any one who did this doesn’t deserve to have the position of responsibility they do and is a disgrace.

[KS Toronado]

38. Very well said

[stopdiggin]

46. on this we're in 100% agreement -(nt)-

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. Oh yeah,

that would've gone over good.

[Pachamama]

9. Call should have been done in a SCIF

Phone = No Entering

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. How does one do that on a Zoom call?

[Pachamama]

13. The Situation Room is a SCIF

Video calls can go in and out

The point is to not have anyone present with any form of GPS or other communication and recording devices when dealing with classified data.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. I confess that I don't know anything about Zoom nor SCIF,

so I'll leave it up to those that have more knowledge on this.

Have a great day.

[Pachamama]

20. My father worked in intelligence and military and I have been in Embassies

Even in Senate there are areas established as SCIF’s and there can be “pop up SCIFs”.

This meeting should have not been operated on a trust basis.. Trust but verify basis.

[Hekate]

29. Thank you for the informative posts, Pachamama. It can be done and it should have been done...

The entire GOP delegation in Congress is untrustworthy until individually proven otherwise.

[stopdiggin]

12. But it was set up as a Zoom

ergo .....

[Pachamama]

18. I'm not going to argue with you and others on this

Any classified communications meeting in warfare or military operations that could endanger the operation or the lives of participants can be held in a secured sensitive communication area, whether it’s on a plane, on ship or land - and yes - with video conferencing.

All attendees should have had their phones held temporarily if they wanted to attend.

[Scrivener7]

5. Vile, vile, vile corrupt Putin toadies.

[Carlitos Brigante]

14. What a couple of clout chasing dickheads. Especially fucking lazy ass Rubio. "Hey

look at me!?? I'm actually at work today! ".

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. IE: LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT ME!!

It's ALL about them and their ego's.

[Uncle Joe]

21. and Rubio is Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence Committee

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/

Thanks for the thread kpete.

[onethatcares]

24. Rubio and intelligence

should never be used in a sentence.

[dchill]

26. Clearly makes a mockery of the Intelligence Committee.

I don't know about Daines, but Marco Rubio has never even been in the drawer where the sharp knives are kept. I suspect Daines could be found lording it over the other plasticware.

[Mr. Ected]

23. Reckless ignorance?

How about calculated malignance?

Aiding the enemy yet again. What constitutes treason if not motive, opportunity and action?

[2naSalit]

25. Willful sabotage.

Fuckers. One of those POS is from my state.

I just hope all those office holders who have been in on this are sent to prison. It would mean new: Governor, 1 US Senator, 1 US House Rep., 1 new AG and a few others for Montana. I'm all for it.

[MontanaMama]

39. I read that That POS Rosendale will vote against aid for Ukraine.

He is a vile.

[2naSalit]

40. Already did.

He's complicit in every way.

[Grokenstein]

27. About as unintentional as Geraldo's and Bobert's treachery.

What was once the "kill the commies" crowd is now crawling with Russian agents.

[LisaL]

28. How low can they go?

NT

[C Moon]

30. Nobody told President Zelenskyy the GOP is the enemy?

[Marius25]

31. Daines attended the 4th of july meeting in Moscow

and Rubio has received at least $1.5 million from Russian oligarchs.

They are Russian assets.

[2naSalit]

41. +1

[NBachers]

33. "Lookit Meeee! I'm importint!"

[2naSalit]

42. More like...

Public demonstration of loyalty to the coup.

[packman]

34. Rubio-Asshole - nothing more to be said

[2naSalit]

43. Same with Daines.

[Wahyee]

36. Isn't retweeting it compounding the issue? /nt

[monkeyman1]

37. aiding the enemy ?

[erronis]

45. Those (r) a*holes remind me of Devin Nunes running to trump's WH with news from the committee

Of course trump was a planted russian asset. Just like Nunes. Just like these (r) congress critters. Feed the info back to the kremlin ASAP.

Lindy Graham (r) suggesting we should assassinate putin is another example of a*hattery in action. We may all want our enemies to drop dead (and Lindy Loves putin), but recommending that is against our stated national principles. (Don't bother bringing up the CIA and other targeted actions.....)

I know there seem to be some decent (r)s with independent backbones but they are way in the minority.

[RocRizzo55]

48. It's really not nice

That you insult assholes like that.
