"It somehow disappeared from the media field. Although I think that this is the number one thing we were going for. This is an exchange for the return of our children, whom the Russians stole."

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.
The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

The lesson from this whole Signalgate catastrophe?

This administration will never, ever take responsibility for their mistakes, even when they endanger people. Especially when they endanger people.

And it's the American people who will suffer.
