I don't want to say I told you so, ...but... the top two people at the NSA were abruptly fired today. And what do you know, they just happen to be in charge of the server that runs the SIGNAL app. Both of these individuals are leftovers from the previous regime and are not in agreement with the Trump administration. The server is set up to record all conversations so they may be entered into the official communications record ( required by law ). The AP reporter was added to the conversation on purpose to cause havoc.
