So high-ranking government officials conducted sensitive war planning over an unsecured app, and they got exposed because they carelessly invited a serious journalist into the chatroom.

Could that be because they rubber-stamped Trump’s inexperienced, ignorant, and inappropriate appointees? While Trump flushes the country down the toilet, Republicans stand by handing him the Charmin.
