BREAKIING: Mike Walz photographed on signal group chats during Cabinet meeting. Using Signal when the law requires you to preserve all of your communication indicates that they are deliberately trying to avoid accountability. The Law requires record retention of communications.

Signal is used to keep communications from presidential records and FOIA requests to avoid accountability, investigations and prison.

Highest level of confidence one or multiple foreign intel agencies are reading those chats in real time.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.
