(7,695 posts)1. Assuming that Whitkoff actually was in Moscow during the signal chat, I have a couple questions.
Was anyone in the room with him during the chat?
If yes:
How many people?
Were they part of the Russian government, or Russia's intelligence organization?
What were their names, and official positions?

(3,572 posts)2. All good questions... but besides the point because...
If you're a U.S. official in Russia and your phone is turned on, you should assume that the Russians are listening in at all times.
What I want to know is what other conversations have these bozos had on unsecured phones and apps?

Also, I'm certain they use Signal all the time because it doesn't keep a record outside of what's on their phones, so it can be easily deleted.
That's destruction of a Government record, which is illegal. They do it to cover their tracks. Legality isn't an issue for them.
