Someone will have to blame for the Signal War plans Fiasco, and it will probably be Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth or national security adviser Mike Waltz.
The nation was shocked earlier this week when the Atlantic Ocean revealed that the Trump government had wrongly added their editor to a group cat in which top officials discussed their plans to hit the Houthis in Yemen.
Hegseeth and Waltz are in the middle of the scandal – because Hegseeth was the one who shares the explicit strike plans and seems to be the device of Waltz that Goldberg has added to the group chat.
“Pete Hegseeth was the one who placed the chat in the chat. So there is a lot of control over him at the moment, in particular, if Trump will do something or remove him from his position, said executive editor of Politics Kelly Laco on DailyMail's Welcome to Magaland Podcast on Wednesday.
Soh far, the White house has remained united in their response to the scandal, in an attempt to direct the story against editor Jeffrey Goldberg and to stand it, despite the proof of the opposite, that the messages do not represent a Bombshell abuse of classified information.
Top Republican legislators today welcomed the knives for Hegseeth.
A Republican senator was especially furious with Hegseeth's absence to take responsibility after the Minister of Defense had claimed yesterday at the asphalt in Hawaii that he did not leaked a classified information that he leaked that he shared detailed current plans for the attack.
“The worst thing is that Hegseeth says himself:” This didn't really happen. “Why don't you just admit it? “The Republican senator told The Hill.

Senator Kevin Cramer, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said De Hill: 'I think they should ensure that it never happens again. I wish they would tell us: “It will never happen again.” It is the first strike in the early stages of an administration.
'I don't know how many strikes you get. In baseball you get three. Maybe this is worth two. If these types of mistakes continue to happen, we will deal with them as it happens. My hope and my expectation is that it won't. '
Another Republican senator said that the president is 'not happy', but so far stopped shooting Hegseeth or Waltz.
The Daily Mail's Laco said on the Magaland Podcast: 'I don't think someone is going somewhere for the time being, certainly, Pete Hegseeth and Mike Waltz will survive the week. At the moment they are almost united to fold back and really throw Jeff Goldberg under the bus.
'Trump stood out for Pete Hegseeth during the hearing process, he had the most controversial hearing. He was questioned about his austerity, his past unfaithfulness, his previous women.
“But Trump remained with him from start to finish and so I don't see him abandoning this situation, especially because the strikes go well. If they had gone south, it would be a different story. '
In the meantime, the fact that the Atlantic Ocean shared a handle that shows that Waltz's device that Goldberg adds to the chat also places him in the middle of the scandal.
'At one point Mike Waltz had clearly communicated with this editor. His number was in the phone under the first JG, and nobody in the chat thought to ask: “Who is this public person who does not contribute?” “Laco said in the last episode of Magaland.
However, it is clear that from now on Trump still supports his loyalists, and it could be that they throw a lower assistant under the bus.
A photo of Mike Waltz has been published alongside reporter Jeffrey Goldberg, which shows that the two had met before the Atlantic editor was allowed in a Trump Administration Group text
“We will see if there will eventually be a scapegoat, perhaps an employee of a lower level who could take the blame,” Laco concluded.
“If the Trump government is strong, it continues to say that this is all a hoax, just as Russia was a hoax, I don't even think they should sacrifice both,” said main reporter Germania Rodriguez poleo on Magaland.
But Waltz admitted that he accidentally added the journalist to a Signal Group chat about military strikes.
“I take full responsibility,” said Waltz during his tortured statement of the debacle on Tuesday evening.
In a bizarre explanation, Waltz then said that the 'error' might have been an act of escape by the journalist.
Waltz then drove the idea that the journalist did something to make his way in the text chain.
“We're going to find out how this happened,” he repeated, and added that his team works to determine whether the journalist did it deliberately whether it happened in another technical average is what we are trying to find out. “
To make things worse for Waltz, who had claimed that he never met Goldberg, a photo was brought forward that posed him next to the editor of the Atlantic Ocean.
Earlier this week, Waltz said: “Whether it is the Russia or makes up for Gold Star families, and I have never met it in particular, don't know, never communicate with and we investigate how we got into this room.”
However, a reporter has excavated a photo of the screening of 2021 of a film in the French embassy in Washington, where Waltz stands next to Goldberg.
“The Waltz event was present – a Q&A with a French filmmaker – was moderated by Goldberg,” wrote Anna Bower of Lawfare.
The film 'The Will to See To See' is an 'infallible look at the most urgent humanitarian crisis around the world' directed by the French intellectual Bernard Henri-Levy, who originally shared the photo.
Henri-Levy tagged both Waltz and Goldberg in his position to X, and thanked them for presence.
Waltz served in the congress and represented the 6th district of Florida at the time of the screening.
