Family of reporter who exposed leak is now in White House's crosshairs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As part of ongoing efforts to escape the growing scandal around leaked war plans, Donald Trump’s White House has now resorted to attacking the spouse of Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, who broke the story.

During her daily press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary (spokesmodel) Karoline Leavitt opened a new front in the White House effort.

“If this story proves anything, it proves that Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media know how to fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well,” Leavitt said. “There’s arguably no one in the media who loves manufacturing and pushing hoaxes more than Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg is an anti-Trump hater. He is a registered Democrat. Goldberg’s wife is also a registered Democrat and a big Democrat donor who used to work under who? Hillary Clinton.”

Leavitt did not offer any evidence that Goldberg makes up stories. In fact, a past Goldberg article that Trump has complained about for years—that Trump called dead veterans “suckers” and “losers”—was later verified by Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly.

Perfect!!!

2. If Goldberg is such a terrible, dishonest, biased person, how did he end up

on that Signal call list? Why did DoJ have his phone number in the first place?

11. I broke a 3+ month avoidance of AM radio yesterday

I heard a couple of local yokels desperately trying to come up with excuses for why this happened. They tried every excuse including blaming the app.

My favorite was that this was a deliberate leak to let them Houthis know that we mean bizness!!11



Not once did they blame Hegseth or Trump.

3. Is she immune from lawsuits for this kind of slander from the podium?

E. Jean Carroll was a journalist who sued him for defamation. Looks to me like Jeffrey Goldberg has a case, but who would wanna get into a lawsuit like that I guess

[obamanut2012]

17. She can be sued

[Deuxcents]

4. What this story proves is she and her boss and those in his administration don't like the light of truth..

They will attack anyone, especially Democrats, if their reality is called out and proven wrong.

5. Watch her.

The faster she talks, the more she is lying.

[Wingus Dingus]

7. Um...you guys INVITED him into the chat.

8. THIS DUMB ASS BITCH HAS SO DRUNKEN THE KOOL AIDE

IF TRUMP TOLD HER TO WEAR A RED ARM BAND, WITH A WHITE CIRCLE IN THE CENTER AND A SWATZTIKA in the center of the that would say thank you sir, I will do what ever you say and wear it proudly. PEOPLE are going to get tired of her very soon, with her fuck you attitude...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Not to defend her

But the fuck you attitude is what her boss has. Those who work for him understand parroting his stance is how to get on his good side.

These people either compromise their principles or never had any to begin with.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

10. She left off her cross again. NT

[Passages]

12. Just lie through your teeth and keep on lying.

Just like her boss.

[progressoid]

13. I listened to 6 seconds before shutting it off.

No need to subject oneself to this bullshit.

[Ping Tung]

14. "..... fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate..." She should put her briefings to music and sing them.

Maybe she could invite Trump to dance and Musk to put on a Navel exposure to the song.

[pfitz59]

15. She won't last in the job

The non-stop lying will do her in. BTW - Trump thuggery always includes 'Come after me, I'll come after your family." Right out of Roy Cohn's playbook.

16. Acting like a goon; just like her effin' boss.
