“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

The problem is that they were discussing national defense information outside of approved classified systems. I mean Signal is secure yeah, but phones are not.

Hey boss. Remember the guy whose phone we hacked to use his private life against him?
Yeah, what about him?
I got some classified stuff and the defense plans of the country for next week.
. . . wait what?
