Lol. And he wouldn't be getting fired for the information that was in the group chat, he'd be getting fired for inviting everyone to the clown show that took place afterwards.

Ok... so then why all the outrage? Was this a nothingburger? Or was it a national security issues?
In this nebulous set of rules that now apparently doesn't exist we spent 4 days (without reading the actual full text of the chat for about 3 of those days) saying in very black and white terms that this was a violation. Hegseth was stupid and everyone on the chat shared secrets and it was spillage. Now, when it comes to the meat and potatoes of accountability (which we all *say* we want)- NOW there is all this nuance and context and things we have to consider?
Now we are at the end of this one- no one is getting fired, or charged, or held accountable in any way it seems. Which means- we just wasted 8 pages of rage for nothing.
Your bolded could have been the only post on this issue when this story broke a week ago.
ETA- You're correct about a leak vs spill- you said yourself we have both and neither party will be held accountable.

Hey guys, the last administration set the standards on accountability. The press has already done more in a week to the SECDEF than they did in four years with the entirety of the last administration.
I wish US and Canadian MSM would be covering more of these stories. This is just part of the reason Trump is so hard on Canada.

Nothing to see here.
Judge Boasberg somehow got "randomly selected" (that's how federal cases are assigned) to oversee the nothingburger Signal issue. Here's a quick history of his rulings/actions-
1) FISA Court Judge during issuance of Carter Page FISA.
2) Reviewed/Approved James Comey’s memos prior to release in 2018.
3) He oversaw the release of Clinton emails in Hillary’s case back in 2016.
4) Gave FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith probation for lying to the FISA Court by fundamentally altering a CIA email that exonerated Carter Page.
5) Appointed Mary McCord (ran NSD at DOJ/Gen Flynn) as amicus curiae advisor to the FISA court—AFTER McCord played a material role in personally misleading the FISA Court in the Page FISA.
6) Involved in the Ray Epps case, giving Epps probation while calling Epps and his wife “victims” of conspiracy theories.
7) Presided over 70+ J6 cases. Imposed excessive prison time even for minor offenses—including a breast cancer victim. Said the law wasn’t harsh enough to punish J6ers the way he wanted—despite his blatant leniency for Epps.
8) Took time out to personally attend Trump’s DC trial, seemingly just for the enjoyment of it.
9) Family (Wife/Sister/Daughter) deeply involved in liberal NGOs.
10) Wife is the founder of an abortion NGO funded by USAID grants.
11) Daughter works for NGO (Partners for Justice) funded by USAID grants that offers legal aid to illegal immigrants—including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.

Who is the injured party?
What a fantastic question!
The judge. The judge alone, in these cases against the admin, is acting as the injured party. There is no legal precedence for these types of challenges, and "judicial review" of EO's is well outside of the scope of this judge's authority.
... are we the baddies?
I will give you +1 for the IASIP meme, but I prefer Bulking Mac.
The USG funding illegal narcotics is nothing new, all DOGE did was shed light on the latest iteration.
We had a guy on our contract who left the DEA/ Dyncorp program designed to destroy poppy fields. They couldn't even allude to poppy production increasing despite the program's gazillion dollar funding.

This was very much a thing during the war in Afghanistan. We paid lip service to poppy eradication, as did the Taliban. In fact, back in the day the Taliban were lauded for "cracking down on the opium trade."
lol, they weren't cracking down, they were eliminating the competition and monopolizing the industry. Supply and demand, bitches.
There was much hullaballoo about US-led eradication efforts during the war. "But you'll destroy those peoples' livelihoods!!" You mean the people making some of the most addictive and destructive shit in the world and who are deliberately or through extortion supporting the Taliban? Uh... good?

Why couldn't we have just trained them to make poppy seed muffins instead?
