Important point about Signalgate: Hegseth & team weren't even using Signal; they were using some weird-ass fork
Some weird ass fork by a company founded and staffed by Israeli ex-intel officers that allows automatic backup of chats even if they are set to delete after x days
Every. Fucking. Time.
Shocking, I know....
And not only that, the leak happened because they added a journalist to their group chat by accident. Hilarity.
