When I received a message from her, it didn't surprise me. I often get feedback or thanks from writers. We talked a few times and, yes, it soon moved into the Carroll v. Trump case that had taken place in the same time period... She said something like, "I can tell you care, and I'd like to talk with you more. But I need to ensure it is more private. She asked me to download Signal--a platform with which I was not familiar. I admit that I was, at first, starstruck. I've become friends with other writers based upon that first review I had provided, so I did as she asked. I downloaded Signal. It was easy, but is supposedly encrypted, which merely means that the message is encrypted from one phone to another and vice versa.
We started to talk and she soon started telling me that she wanted my help in "spending her money..." That was the first point where I became suspicious... Without going into the entire story, let me just say, I started "playing" the person to whom I was talking. What was being said did not jive with my knowledge of the background of E. Jean. Why Me? was obviously a question I had in mind... Soon after interaction over a series of days, I was told by the writer that the individual was "not" E.Jean. "But, I just wanted to talk to you..." How did I catch him? We started talking about specific amounts of money. That individual mentioned $300,000. I responded that that seemed low given what she would soon have--right? Within minutes, I had cut off the conversation, deleted Signal from my computer... Yes, I had an idea who it might have been, but, then, I could be totally wrong. By then, Facebook had taken over Instagram and I'd been bothered by many messages from that site that wanted to get on Facebook, so they would make a comment on something I had posted and asked if I would connect with them... Apparently that was the only way that they could legitimately get on Facebook... Who Knows...? That type of technical problem had been going on for years on Facebook by that time... Yes, I had a bit of shame that I had at first gave in to "a celebrity," but, with me, I am always on guard. I've been scammed before by people who lied or used somebody else's name--writers--only to find a duplicate site had been made by a hacker... and I'd have to work to reconnect with the real writer!

LET'S DO THE ANALYSIS UPFRONT!!!--REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEMBER'S STATEMENT ON SIGNAL CATASTROPHE
You Know, folks, there was never a time that President Biden was not upfront to give full details about any major event that caused actions overseas, or here in America. Remember Afghanistan? No president had actually acted to get us out of that country. Biden did, but then got major backlash about how it was done... Give me a break! At least he acted and worked through the fallout!
What you have watched is a series of just a few congressional discussions related to the misuse of a non-secured platform, Signal, that even I easily downloaded and talked to somebody who I really didn't know! The fact that "somebody" either on purpose placed a journalist's name on an established group chat, or by accident, just reveals the level of ease of hacking/misinformation use on normal cell phone programs. What America and all countries is having to deal with. That's why our government has its own communication equipment and processes. Why weren't they used? Not convenient enough? Lack of concern? or Just lack of...thinking and learning about your job and its ramifications.
These people now are lying, claiming that the fact that the chat was outside of the Administration policies really wasn't a big deal...while at the same time, republicans as well as democrats are stating clearly that this was a major breach of classified material... I have to, again, ask...can we really believe that anything that Trump/staff are doing will not result in major horrendous changes to our Nation?! I have to ask--How can you trust or believe a president who claims that he has no idea what was being talked about...? What happened to the old saying, "The buck stops at the top?" Trump has already implied that somebody other than Hegseth had accepted responsibility...Not the Secretary! Certainly not Trump! So, does that mean that the techie person will take total blame? Thoughts?
