A defense secretary intentionally using a civilian app [...}

That's your mistake right there: Pete Hegseth isn't a defense secretary, he's a fucking lowly weekend TV show host Trump placed in the Pentagon to execute his orders. He wouldn't know anything about secrecy because he's utterly incompetent in sensitive state matters. Hell, he wouldn't even know how hot sharing this sort of information with a journalist is because he ain't even a journalist...

His being a nobody and willingness to order troops to violate civil rights is exactly why he was bumped up.
