The Signal Scandal Somehow Just Managed to Get Much Worse

At least for the moment this hasn’t gotten much attention. So let me point your attention to a new part of the White House Signal chat story which is actually a pretty big deal. You likely saw that yesterday Reuters published a photo of a Trump cabinet meeting in which Mike Waltz could be seen using Signal on his phone. That was pretty unbelievable. You could see several of the chats, though mainly who he was chatting with more than the contents. Embarrassing, etc. But 404 Media, a new tech news site, noticed that there was more than that. He wasn’t actually using Signal at all. He was using a third party Signal knock-off which allows you to use your Signal account but with additional features.
