THEY KNEW. The participants were also aware of all the methods to use safe and secure channels in the White House, on the road, and even in their homes. There is absolutely no excuse for their behavior and choices. Forget about the debate regarding whether the information was classified or not. Choosing to usurp the established security protocols and using the Signal app, with no descension by any group members, is unlawful and criminal.
