We can expect that every military action has a principals committee (if not a principles committee). Most actions that are on the record, with classified data properly conveyed through their "high side" inboxes and properly archived, will have those records accessible to special counsel or historical analysts. If, as I suspect, most of the current cabinet's principals committees are meeting over Signal, the records of those communications will be conspicuously absent. It's not like these guys are masterminds meticulously generating compelling and consistent alternate records in the SCIF, then also pulling out their phones and telling most of the same people most of the same things in group chat messages. They're just not having the discussions in the SCIF at all, and that will be evident to anyone who cares to investigate.
