Signal Conversation Transcript:
March 30
Hegseth (11:44 am ET): Abrego Garcia’s potential release is delayed for 30 days. Some like it, some don’t. What’s the take?
Vance (12.13pm ET): Big brain time💡: Let’s think of it as a hostage situation. The longer it drags on, the more the captor rethinks his actions.
Waltz (12:38 pm ET): From my perspective, it gives us more time to gather information & possibly build a stronger case.
Rubio (12:53 pm ET): Glad to see the legal process being respected. It gives time for due diligence.👍🏽
Gabbard (13:05 pm ET): Love the fairplay, but also love Russia for no reason. 😉
Rubio (13:15 pm ET): Gabbard, your love for Russia makes me curious. 🤔
Miller (13:38 pm ET): Can we switch back to topic, or must we endure this soap opera? Sickening liberals.
Hegseth (14:00 pm ET): Ease up, Miller. And yes, Rubio. We all know Gabbard’s inexplicable love for Russia. 😂
Waltz (14:05 pm ET): Back to Garcia - His delay could be strategic. It’s our job to look into it.
Vance (14:11 pm ET): Vindicated. The delay is a chess move, not a checkers jump. It needs careful handling.
Bessent (14:30 pm ET): I agree with Vance. We need to be strategic with our actions going forward.
Ratcliffe (14:36pm ET): Let’s get the Intel team to do a deep dive and assess implications.⚡️
Wiles (15:45 pm ET): Can we make sure media doesn’t blow it out of proportion? Last thing we need is a circus. 🎪
Witkoff (16:02 pm ET): Let’s keep the media on a need-to-know basis. Don’t give them ammunition to misrepresent facts.
Kent (16:30 pm ET): I second Witkoff. We control the narrative. Let’s keep it that way.
Miller (16:45 pm ET): Good. Keep the liberal media’s noses out of it. It’s our play.🎭
Hegseth (17:00 pm ET): Agreed. Let’s address this the best way we know - direct and with no nonsense.💪🇺🇸
Vance (17:30 pm ET): All in favour say, “Freedom”.
All (17:31 pm ET): Freedom! 🔥🙏
