“‘Signalgate’ is how some are christening Trump officials’ unintended disclosure of plans for bombing Yemen via a Signal group chat on March 15. Since Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg broke the story, outraged critics have demanded a return to ‘the ethic of accountability that our nation holds sacred.’ The analogy to Watergate is fitting, but not in the way they intend. Congressional furor over Nixon’s misbehavior fixated on the pettiest of his crimes. The articles of impeachment in 1974 failed to mention his role in a war of aggression that killed between two and four million people.” (03/27/25)
