Was any classified info actually leaked on Signal?

[enslaved1]

The interwebs are afire with a reporter for The Atlantic somehow getting added onto a Signal group chat that was being used by high level military and DOD folks to discuss and possibly plan airstrikes in Yemen.  With much static and noise over how using such methods of communication is supposedly illegal, quotes about mishandling classified information should be handled from Trump and his admin/supporters, and comparisons to the reactions to a certain former first lady's emails, it's hard to figure out a base question- was any classified information actually leaked in this event?

Another base question is how in the world did this reporter "accidentally" get included into the chat?  Also difficult to find amongst the squawking.

1. Use of the Signal app was started by the LIEden MalAdministration, and was loaded onto the computers issued to Trump Administration people.

2. Several Trump security people, including Tulsi Gabbard, has testified that there was no classified information in the chat discussion.

3. Waltz has said that he does not know Goldberg and did not add him to the chat. Right now, it looks like a "canary" got trapped, a mole in Waltz's staff, https://pjmedia.com/charlie-martin/2025/03/25/counterintelligence-and-canary-traps-n4938265 . IF so, that might be another signal that Trump and his people learned from the trials and tribulations of his first administration.

From https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/03/26/never-ever-ever-trust-a-breaking-news-story-that-makes-trumpworld-look-bad-n3801148 :

Yesterday's kerfuffle over the latest Jeffrey Goldberg/Atlantic hit piece proves yet again to never react to leftist attack pieces unless and until the facts are known.

It appears now that the following things are likely true:

1. White House counsel approved the use of Signal for non-classified discussions.

2. The phones the principals used had Signal pre-loaded when issued to them.

3. The Biden Administration used Signal in the exact same way.

4. The conversations Goldberg shared in his Atlantic piece were not classified.

5. Those same conversations discussed how to share classified information separately on classified IT system.

6. Literally the only proof we have that any classified discussions occurred is Goldberg's assertion that the parts of the conversation he withheld from the article were "conceivably" classified.

7. Goldberg is a highly unreliable narrator who has created or participated in multiple wildly inaccurate anti-Trump hoaxes.

8. There are ways to illegally hack Signal which involve cloning a device that is legitimately involved in the conversation.  An in-house IT employee could do this with ease as that functionality is purposely built into Signal for user convenience.

Based on the above, my current working theory (yes, it's a THEORY and it could be wrong) is that the Biden White House left a hacker landmine in the system where the very last person who can be trusted with anything involving Trump was invited to a crucial national security discussion.
