'Not even a close call': Joe calls Hegseth’s Signal breach far worse than Clinton’s emails

Allegations and Investigation - Pentagon's watchdog received evidence suggesting Defense Secretary shared classified information about US strikes in Yemen via Signal [1] - The classified information was reportedly sent in an email marked "secret no foreign," indicating unauthorized disclosure could cause serious damage to national security and was not intended for foreign nationals [1][2] - The Post's reporting contradicts claims that no classified intelligence was shared via Signal [3] Implications and Comparisons - The incident is viewed as a serious breach, with parallels drawn to Hillary Clinton's email controversy, though the specifics of a military attack are considered more sensitive [4][7] - Critics argue that addressing the issue with "whataboutism" (comparing to past misconduct) is an admission of wrongdoing [8][9][10] - The investigation confirms what was already widely understood: information about an imminent military strike is classified [10][11] National Security Concerns - Reckless handling of national secrets by the Secretary of Defense during combat puts America at risk [12] - The response should be based on facts, regardless of the source of the reporting [13]
