    The people who pulled this off, lol. They probably hacked Waltz his (private?) phone, replaced the number of some high level official with the number of the Atlantic guy, and then just sat back and relax. Watch this shit show unfold.

        This is called “proportionality bias”, believing that a major event must have had major planning behind it.

        It doesn’t. They’re just dumb and fat fingered the wrong recipient to add to the chat on an app and phone that they shouldn’t have been using in the first place!

        Not really. Accidentally / due to stupidity adding the chief editor of a critical magazine on the administration is just too perfect to be a coincidence.
