The really stupid thing about this particular case is if they want to story to die, all they have to do is say, "Look, we screwed up.

The really stupid thing about this particular case is if they want to story to die, all they have to do is say, "Look, we screwed up. The operation was successful, no harm, no foul, we'll do better next time." ANYTHING beyond that, such as trying to blame the journalist, trying to blame Democrats, bringing up the Afghanistan withdrawal, etc... is just nonsense that keeps the story, the scandal, and the embarrassment going. You'd think politicians would have figured this out by now - the cover up is almost always worse than the crime.

I found it amusing that, on his show last night, Bill O'Reilly came close to implying that Goldberg weaseled his way on the group chat.
Update: On his most recent show, Mr. O'Reilly posed the questions "who let Goldberg in?" and "who allowed Goldberg in?" What a Schill!
I'm still seeing prominent right-wing commentators ask that question. We knew exactly who added Goldberg when his piece was published.
Their focus is on the wrong individual, it's Hegseth and his sloppy, braggy big mouth! Unprofessional.
Exactamente! Mr. Goldberg was invited in.
Invited in inadvertently.
