I thought I had heard that there were some details on CIA operatives, such as names that were mentioned in the chat as well. Is it possible there is more that Goldberg is still sitting on?



> A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe’s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified. Ratcliffe had testified earlier yesterday that the officer is not undercover and said it was “completely appropriate” to share their name in the Signal conversation. We will continue to withhold the name of the officer. Otherwise, the messages are unredacted.

they will probably trickle this info out, the administration said that there was no classified information in the chats, so the atlantic are now free to publish these latest messages. The next step is for the administration to claim that there was nothing "operationally sensitive" in the messages, which will free the atlantic to release the next batch that contradicts that claim. Repeat.
