It was a coincidence that two witnesses witnessed a rare public hearing from Senate Intelligence Committee On Tuesday, it was part of the failed series of texts on military action in Yemen.
The Director of National Intelligence, Toulcy Gabbard, and the director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, was scheduled to hold in the annual “global threats” of the committee.
But something else was leading the city's conversation.
If the text series had not fallen, there would be long discussions about local terrorism and the threat on the border. How the United States was fighting with China. Was there progress in The Middle East? What about the war in Ukraine?

Cash Patel, Director of the FBI, joined Gabbard and Oaklif at the witness table. Patel collected a working group to treat local terrorism. Under other circumstances, Senators may have interrogated Patel around people who put the electronic product and Nyung.
But this was not.
Democrats have declined from the first days of the Trump administration. They failed to establish their foot. They attacked each other after the leader of the minority in the Senate Chuck ShomerDN.Y, stood with Republicans to help avoid closing the government. Other Democrats faced angry voters, and angered that the people who elected him do not do more to stand up to President Trump and the Republicans in Congress.

Then the Democrats scored a gift with a Bolloxed text chain.
Or, at least something that Democrats could practice against the other side.
They were APOPLECTIC around group chat.
“It is the stupid thing I saw,” he said Senator Mark KellyDr. Ariz.
“I think this is another example of this type of dirty behavior, neglect and incompetence,” Senator Mark Warner, D-FA, the highest democratic Democrat in the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Democrats accused the intelligence officials of the knights with information.
“This decline, this is inefficiency, this is the lack of respect for our intelligence agencies and the employees for whom they work are completely unacceptable. It is embarrassing,” said Senator Michael Bennett, De Colo. “You need to do better. You need to do better.”
Gabbard initially deviated when Warner interrogated her digital imbalance.
“The Senator, I don't want to enter the details,” said Gabbard.
This response is Warner.

“You will not be ready to treat …?” Warner said. “Do you deny that? Do you answer my question, Madam?”
But Gabbard deliberately addressed the controversy of the collective chat when it witnessed on Wednesday before the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives. She did this in her opening notes. But after she addressed cybersecurity threats From China And fluctuation in the Middle East.
Gabbard said it was a “mistake” to include the Atlantic Ocean editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, on the text series.
“The National Security Adviser has assumed full responsibility for this,” Gabbard said. “The National Security Council is conducting an in -depth review, along with technical experts working to determine how this reporter unintentionally adding this chat,” Gabbard said. “No secret information was shared. There were no sources, methods, sites or war plans that were shared.”

Gabbard then informed the committee that due to the lawsuit filed on the text series, it was “limited to my ability to comment on this specified condition.”
The Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence services sometimes depend on the signal of encrypted chatting for coordination.
“The use of signals of the signal message and the encryption of the end is allowed and in this case,” used it was allowed. “
Gabbard said that the simultaneous texts did not reveal the lack of secrets.
“There were no secret materials that were shared in that,” said Gabbard.
“So if there is no (no) classified materials, share it with the committee. You cannot get it in both directions,” Warner Ward.

Senator Jack Reed, d.
“If this is true, the administration must immediately present a copy of the group chat to Congress,” said Reed.

But it deserves or not, think about the amount of time that the legislators were burned from both sides on the Snafu chat collection in exchange for going into actual global threats in the listening sessions. After all, this was the expected topic of sessions. There are consequences for that.

Ratcliffe says that new reference texts show that he “did not convey secret information”
But despite what he played in public places, both The House of Representatives and the Senate Intelligence committees held Frank's sessions, especially with officials after the open forums.
“We have covered a lot of things in that closed session,” said MP Jim Hems, DCT, the highest democratic for the Intelligence Committee. “Everything from Russia to China to Fintanel. He called it whatever you want.”
But the Hims expressed regret that the committees have exhausted a lot of time to discuss the text series.
