There is no leak. This is clearly children playing with adult toys. They are out of their league.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

These are absolutely adults. We need to get past the idea that "adults in the room" is a thing. Quite a few of our biggest businesses and public agencies are run by people exactly like this.
Then maybe we can stop with the Great Man Theory bullshit and start talking about re-democraticization to get the "adult toys" (high powered long range killing machines) out of the hands of fully matured drunks, ghouls, and sadist bigots.

Exactly, there is always a throughline of "I make the rules here, why should I have to follow rules" because they erroneously think "being in charge" means no rules should apply to them. They literally don't understand things like security or why it matters and literally think it doesn't and shouldn't apply to them.
These are not clever people.
It wasn't "leaked."
A member of the press was included, so clearly it was meant as public information.
Not a leak. They invited The Atlantic Editor-In-Chief to their group text chat! He listened for a bit not sure if it was real or not before coming clean. And if the material being discussed should be "considered classified"... why the fuck were they discussing it on an app in an insecure manner in the first place!?
It's not an insecure app per se, but it is an uncontrolled app, in the context of an organisation's communication. Some of the GOP have tried to imply that it's the product that's at fault, but it's user error all the way.
Good point, I clarified.
So the major question is what excuses will these GOPers give to avoid doing anything about this egregious security breach and the incompetence behind it.
Well at least this one speaks out, we should appreciate it while it still happens.
Yes those details should clearly be considered classified and the people who exposed those details because of negligence, and willfully ignoring government policy should be removed from positions where they could cause farther harm, and brought to justice
They are gonna start their own app with backdoors and hookers!
