| THE LAST WALTZ? Questions are swirling this morning about
| the future of national security adviser Mike Waltz over his
| role in what is surely -- hands-down -- one of the dumbest
| security breaches of recent times. Waltz has yet to comment
| publicly on The Atlantic's jaw-dropping revelation that he
| set up an unsecured Signal chat group to discuss military
| battle plans with Cabinet colleagues -- and then
| accidentally invited Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey
| Goldberg to join. POLITICO's Dasha Burns, Rachael Bade and
| Eli Stokols revealed last night that multiple conversations
| are now underway among White House officials over whether
| Waltz should be forced to resign. All eyes are on the
| commander-in-chief for a final decision.
|
| What's on Trump's mind? Ominously for Waltz, there has been
| no message of support thus far from the president, who
| instead spent last night posting videos on Truth Social
| about his own achievements. In fact, Trump -- normally a
| vocal armchair pundit -- has not commented at all on the
| story, beyond a few initial boilerplate attacks on The
| Atlantic. All the signs are he's mulling his options.
|
| Because let's be clear ... This is damaging stuff for the
| Trump administration. As a story, Signalgate is more than
| just a serious breach of national security. It's colorful,
| it's visual, it's easy to understand and it raises the most
| dangerous charge of all for any government -- one of rank
| incompetence. (They discussed military secrets in a group
| chat? They accidentally invited a journalist to join the
| group, and didn't notice? These guys are running the
| country?) Yeah, it's a bad one.
