That is not true. Today at the hearing, the CIA director said there was no classified material. He was questioned if the event was a "huge mistake", and answered "No."

The journalist published the messages. The messages take almost no time to read and are very short.

Lots of lies about these leaks.

>He was questioned if the event was a "huge mistake", and answered "No."

He then proceeded to, a few sentences later, admit that it was a mistake.

Edit: Regarding your edit, I saw the clip earlier. He absolutely admits it was a mistake after Ossoff asks him. Right here - https://x.com/Acyn/status/1904567023923089696

And if you're gonna lament people lying, at least get your house in order first[1].

>The journalist published the messages.

This is patently false. As of the time of my making this comment, Goldberg has still withheld the messages containing the details of the plan of the attack.

CIA director explained that nothing could have been classified because classification authority rests with the secretaries involved themselves. In the journalists opinion, war plans should be classified. Fortunately, we dont rely on Journalists to make that determination.

Fortunately, good journalists do not harm air missions. Unfortunately, bad journalism creates political illusions.

The journalist said he withheld sensative information that the senate hearing today emphasized was regarding an ongoing investigation, and not about war plans. If the whole government is lying, hopefully the journalist is good and publishes facts instead of opinions

Edit: in your clip, CIA director says 'they characterized it as a mistake', not 'he'.

>At 11:44 a.m., the account labeled “Pete Hegseth” posted in Signal a “TEAM UPDATE.” I will not quote from this update, or from certain other subsequent texts. The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East, Central Command’s area of responsibility. What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.

...

>According to the lengthy Hegseth text, the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence, at 1:45 p.m. eastern time. So I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot. If this Signal chat was real, I reasoned, Houthi targets would soon be bombed. At about 1:55, I checked X and searched Yemen. Explosions were then being heard across Sanaa, the capital city.

Literally guaranteed classified information if even the timeline is accurate: If he knew hours in advance of an upcoming strike, they're busted.

Now maybe Goldberg is just a filthy liar and he's making all of this up. Do you really think that? Do you not think he has receipts?
