The Atlantic · Mar 26Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on SignalBy Jeffrey Goldberg

@GottaLaff There is absolutely no reason the Add Members should be an option for Goldberg. They didn't even have the Add Members locked down to the Admin, who is Michael Waltz. Just an absolute OPSEC nightmare. So not only was JG added, he could have added anybody he wanted to.

@955_36 @GottaLaff I'm still convinced they were trying to add Jeff Goldblum to the chat. He's good in a crisis (movie)

@955_36 @GottaLaff
It seems to me there are only two plausible explanations for how Goldberg was added to the list:
1) Someone on the list added him deliberately as a leak.
2) Someone on the list already had Goldberg as a contact and accidentally added him instead of the person they were trying to add.

Possibility 2 seems more likely to me, which leaves the question of who on that list was already communicating with Goldberg and why.

@VATVSLPR @GottaLaff The first option isn't plausible because just as you don't want to reveal your sources as a reporter, you wouldn't want to reveal who you're leaking to. If someone was intentionally leaking it to Goldberg, they could have just screen shot the conversation and provided those to Goldberg through a direct Signal account.
