Could've been a setup to get The Atlantic to leak government secrets...

  But the backfire is catastrophic: every leaker in DoD can now claim as a defense that their leak must be a political appointee up there attaching docs to now-expunged Signal chats. That is now both Occam and Bayes rational.

  I don't think you deserve the downvotes considering that would be very in character for this administration. That said, it does not seem plausible considering the number of officials they'd have to incriminate to burn Goldberg, not to mention the airing of so much dirty laundry. Seems like a better plan would be to go to him directly with a phony leaker.

  And then, the natural course of action is to ban them.
