A lawsuit naming Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and the National Archives and Records Administration as defendants. The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare the use of Signal unlawful. Signal is end-to-end encryption communications app, meaning that it ensures that only the sender and recipient can access the content of messages or calls, that comes pre-installed on many government phones and used for closed communications between government officials.
Who is the judge assigned to the case? James Boasberg. Boasberg is the same judge assigned to oversee the case involving the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport terrorist-designated Venezuelan gang members. He also oversaw several high-profile Trump grand jury probes conducted by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Boasberg attempted in the Alien Enemies Act case to assume the Article II powers of the Commander-in-Chief by issuing directives during a military operation. The administration was compelled to invoke the State Secrets Privilege, a legal doctrine in the US that allows the government to withhold information from legal proceedings if its disclosure could harm national security. Providing that information to a partisan Obama-appointed judge would compromise national security.
Boasberg being assigned to the Signal case is not an accident. This was a setup. The goal is to join the project of judicial obstruction with deep state goals to undermine the Trump Administration. Part of the tactic was Boasberg’s attempt to set a perjury trap in the Alien Enemies Act case. Yesterday, congressional Democrats also tried to set a perjury trap in interrogating Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. They knew Goldberg would drop the other shoe today. Goldberg gave Congress as heads up that he would do this on a podcast yesterday with Tim Miller (Bulwark Podcast).
This is an attempt by the demoralized Democratic Party, the political side of the administrative state, to mount a narrative they hope will delegitimize the Trump Administration. At present the Party finds difficult to mount the delegitimizing campaign they successfully pursued against Trump during the first term. The federal Judiciary and the deep state have come to their assistance.
We have been here before. Jeffrey Goldberg is playing the role of Alexander Vindman, the retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel who gained national attention during the first impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump in 2019. Vindman was in the White House Situation Room when Trump made the phone call to Zelensky.
We know how Vindman came to be in that room: he was serving as the Director for Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Russia on the National Security Council. Readers may find relevant that Vindman was born in Ukraine during the Soviet period. We also know how Goldberg, a notorious anti-Trump reporter, came to be on Signal chat. At least we think we know. He was invited by Michael Waltz, the National Security Adviser in the Trump administration. However, I hasten to note that this is Goldberg’s account. Goldberg claims in his reporting to have received a connection request on Signal from a user identified as “Michael Waltz.”
As of today, Trump is standing with Waltz (although he is upset with him). This is on the surface surprising given that Waltz was the one alleged to have invited Goldberg to the chat. Is this because Trump does not yet know for certain whether Waltz is the person who identified himself as Waltz on the chat? Does he suspect that somebody else using that name invited Goldberg to the chat? Or is it because he does not want to alienate Waltz during a deep state operation to once again undermine his presidency?
History makes clear that the deep state is determined to thwart Trump and delegitimize the populist American First movement. This desire is born of the transnationalist project and the managed decline of the American Republic necessary for affecting this desire.
An old narrative has reemerged along side this that the Trump Administration is siding with Russia, a nuclear power that exists outside the globalist project. Thus, the project is infusing the present narrative with the Trump as Russian stooge narrative. If this feels like déjà vu there’s a reason for that. Again, we have been here before. The warmongers are desperate to keep alive the conflict with Russia. Part of what got their goat is Vice-President JD Vance’s sentiments towards Europe expressed on the chat.
The reality of what happened can be simply explained: high-level government officials were engaged in a conversation over a secure app installed on government phones updating the team about an unfolding and ultimately successful military operation. Other countries were also informed of these military operations, as well, as it standard in such situations. When considering whether this was top secret information, these details must be kept in mind.
The question that needs to answered is how Goldberg was invited to that chat and then follow that back to the operation that put him in that room. This is the real national security threat—it suggests a mole in the Trump Administration’s national security team planted to undermine the presidency and his foreign policy. The narrative being established by the corporate state media is designed not only to undermine Trump, but to obscure the existence and goal of the deep state. In doing this, national security is being compromised. All this betrays the desperation of the transnational agenda.
