possibly, but i remain skeptical….
for example, it’s probably illegal for them to do that, with ton of rules preventing that….

just seems far fetched, unlike him texting war plans….

could very well be a red herring… like a deliberate, easily disproven, fake leak to take away from what he actually did….

mayhaps… i don’t know.
the signal text is more likely and he included a journalist so it’s corroborated….
