The timeline makes it highly likely that Goldberg was not an "accident".

Once you assume Goldberg was there by design the only question is who put him there.

If the Deep State, he was to do damage to the Trump national security team.

If by the Trump administration, he was to send a message to.... someone.

There's an episode of Deep Space Nine where Sisko and the command staff are trying to figure out how to deal with the Klingon Empire invading Cardassia. Told not to get involved, Sisko and his team contrived a "leak" to give Gul Dukat advance warning of the invasion.

Was this episode with Goldberg "contrived". I have no actual evidence....but the possibility cannot be excluded either.

I suspect that President Trump is utilizing the "Kobayashi Maru" strategy. It's just a matter of time before the Dems and their fellow Marxists and perverts throw down their weapons and go away.

Ha!

My first thought was similar:

The leak is intentional by the administration, to 1) bring it home to Europe that U.S. military protection of Europe should be compensated (3% of our trade goes Suez, 40% of Europe's), and 2) bring it home to the Houthis that sinking commercial shipping is an existential threat...to *them*.

Plus, goading the Left, of course...

In any case, 1 (one) "error" in 10 weeks sure is an historical improvement!

Also, Jeffrey Goldberg?! Really?

Exactly one month ago today, the ATLANTIC was removed by President Trump from the rotation of reporters allowed to attend presidential press briefings. Those who question Goldberg's placement on the text-list are ignorant of politics and underestimate President Trump's ability to out-strategize and humiliate his enemies.

Goldberg, the worm, deserves our scorn and disgust. He is worthy of the two-minute hate awarded to "Goldstein" in the book 1984.

Yep. He also has a history of faking who he is, or using someone else's phone number. There's a term for it I can't remember.

The Left thinks it has their gotcha. What morons. But will this rally them?

It must be hilarious to listen in to the scheming being done today at the DNC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, NPR, and PBS.

Trump is a master politician. Every day he does something that some contingent of the pervert army finds outrageous. And every day he does something that uproots the Blob. President Trump's enemies must be beside themselves, calculating WHICH move by POTUS 47 they should be attacking. And before they can figure it out, it's another day and another big chop to the Imperialist State of the USSA.
