So that you understand all government phones are physically and Esim/app locked.
Now for you to understand what this means in conjunction with the MOU you linked SIGNAL is a managed APP and as I and others (along with the participants) have said, NO classified details were posted in the chat. SIGNAL is installed on the government provided phones due to it being written in the US by a corporation/OGA. Just because you and anyone can download SIGNAL doesn't mean that it's civilian use only, the US government had a hand in it's construction and DOES have backdoor access although most don't understand that abd that Signal came about "magically"[emoji57] after each of the other APPs that were used but persons of concern found through public news stories that 5 eyes had access...
The reporter claimed many things that were proven false in the congressional hearing that showed the group chat texts didn't contain what he said, i.e. TTPs, etc...

I’m just a simple farmer, but bullet point 10 of the memo states:
10. Unmanaged 'messaging apps,' including any app with a chat feature, regardless of the primary function, are NOT authorized to access, transmit, process non-public DoD information. This includes but is not limited to messaging, gaming, and social media apps. (i.e., iMessage, WhatsApps, Signal).
Reads to me like a directive…don’t use signal as it is unmanaged. In fact, it doesn’t just say don’t use it for classified comms, but rather ANY non public DOD information. Just because we want to give them a pass, doesn’t mean we can or should. This would be career ending for Petty Officer Benotz, but not for any of them?
Regarding the claims that no classified info was transmitted. For every one of the administration clowns that claims that, there are 30 national security experts who claim otherwise. I know for a fact that everything about strike planning, AIR Plans, Air Tasking Orders, basically anything the CAOC puts out, is at least Secret.
Regarding the hearings…it’s ironic that you touch on that subject. Just today the “fake news” is reporting that the CIA’s CIO testified in court (a bit more weighty than in front of a GOP lead subcommittee) that he could not recover anything substantive from Director Radcliffe’s signal chat. So either:
1) they were deleted as part of a coverup
2) signal doesn’t remotely meet the US legal requirement for government communication archiving
3) CIA CIO is perjuring himself in court. Actual perjury, not simple lying to congress which everyone seems to do
Given these clown’s propensity for lawlessness, I’m going with 1 or 2. I doubt any professional civil servant would perjure himself in court to make his political appointee boss look better.
Think they would give us a free pass for a similar security breech? No chance, nor would we deserve it.
