CIA’s Signal Sting: Hegseth Takes the Fall in Trump Team Scandal
This podcast, dated March 26, 2025, alleges a CIA special ops group orchestrated a Signal app operation, access to sensitive chats by journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who timed his story release before an SSCI hearing to target Trump officials over Ukraine and Russia policies. Goldberg exited the chat post-leak, amplifying the scandal. Pete Hegseth faces blame, while National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, who built the group, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, whose computer had Signal pre-loaded, dodge scrutiny. Trump points to a subordinate under Waltz tied to Goldberg’s phone number. Amid confusion over Signal’s security—widely used by the CIA—a January Chinese telecom hack and Witkoff’s Russia presence raise further concerns.
- The CIA special ops group organized the Signal App operation. That’s how Goldberg got in. Jeffrey Goldberg held the story until the day before the scheduled SSCI hearing. The SSCI uses the hearing to attack the Trump officials at the top of the critical silos. Why the CIA black ops group doesn’t like the Trump Ukraine and Trump Russia policy. Watch and you will see.
- No one quite understands how the Signal app works and they are handling the intelligence of the country. Something doesn’t add up. Goldberg removed himself the day after the attacks knowing it would signal that he had left the group. On Signal you either get invited or get a request. They are making this a scandal and it was created internally. Someone let Goldberg in. Pete Hegseth is getting thrown under the bus. Waltz is getting “he’s a good man”. Trump explains that someone on a lower level under Waltz had Goldbergs number. Waltz admits he built the group. Signal was loaded on Ratcliffe’s computer. Most of the CIA uses Signal. CIA Rafcliffe saying it was not a mistake.
- When you go to China or Russia, they say not to take it to your personal phone because it will be hacked. A Chinese hack of US telecoms compromised more firms than previously known, happened in January. CIA Signal. Witkoff is in Russia and on the Signal chat.
