When Will the Left-Wing Media Name the Mike Waltz Staffer Who Handed Jeffrey Goldberg a Front-Row Seat to Trump’s War Plans? Don’t Hold Your Breath—They Might Be Protecting One of Their Own
March 25, 2025 – 12:49 PM EST Who was the staffer responsible for this colossal screw-up? And here’s the kicker—why hasn’t the left-wing media, usually salivating at the chance to disembowel Trump’s inner circle, leaked that name yet? Could it be because the culprit isn’t some MAGA loyalist but a left-wing plant, burrowed deep in the administration to sow chaos and feed the progressive press?
Earlier this month, Goldberg—known for his relentless anti-Trump crusades—found himself inexplicably added to a Signal chat titled “Houthi PC small group.” This wasn’t some casual coffee klatch; it was a digital war room where heavy hitters like Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Waltz himself were hashing out operational details for airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Targets, weapons, timelines—the whole playbook was laid bare, and Goldberg, parked in a Safeway lot, watched it unfold in real time like a kid with a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory. He didn’t just sit on it, either; he ran straight to The Atlantic and published a scathing exposé on March 24, 2025, turning a security blunder into a political inferno.
Trump told NBC, “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man,” pinning the fiasco on “one of Michael’s people on the phone—a staffer had his number on there.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down, dismissing Goldberg’s scoop as “sensationalist spin” and insisting no classified “war plans” were shared. (Goldberg begs to differ, claiming he withheld some messages precisely because they were too sensitive.) Meanwhile, the administration’s digging into how Goldberg’s number ended up in the mix, with whispers of a “mole hunt” echoing through the West Wing.
Normally, the left-leaning press—your CNNs, your MSNBCs, your New York Times—would be all over this like flies on Jasmine Crockett. A Trump official’s staffer hands a progressive darling like Goldberg the keys to the kingdom? Yet, the silence is deafening. No name. No leaks. No “sources familiar with the matter” dishing dirt to Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow. Why the sudden restraint?
What if the staffer isn’t some red-hatted Trump acolyte but a covert operative from the other side? Picture it—a left-wing mole, planted in Waltz’s orbit, tasked with undermining the administration from within. Adding Goldberg to the chat wasn’t a blunder; it was a calculated move to embarrass Trump, expose his team’s sloppy “security hygiene” (as Senator Mark Warner put it), and give the progressive media a shiny new cudgel. If that’s the case, the last thing the left-wing press wants is that name out there. Exposing their own asset would torch their narrative of Trumpian incompetence and shift the spotlight to their own dirty tricks.
Goldberg’s no stranger to sticking it to Trump. Back in 2020, he dropped the bombshell that the then-president called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” a story that fueled outrage and cemented his status as a MAGA nemesis. His latest coup fits the pattern—another chance to paint Trump’s crew as reckless cowboys unfit for the world stage. But if this was a setup, who better to play the patsy than Goldberg, a man whose “very Left-wing” roots (his own words) and storied career at liberal bastions make him the perfect vessel for a leak too good to be true?
The right’s already circling the wagons. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s got “full confidence” in Waltz, and Trump’s betting odds on firing him have plummeted from 35% to 15% on platforms like Polymarket. Some GOP voices, like Hegseth, are even pushing back, calling Goldberg a “deceitful peddler of hoaxes” despite the White House admitting the chat’s authenticity. Across the aisle, Democrats like Warner are howling for resignations—Waltz, Hegseth, the whole lot—branding it a failure of “security hygiene 101.” But neither side’s naming names. The staffer remains a ghost.
So, when will we get the big reveal? Don’t bet on it anytime soon—not if the left’s got skin in the game. If this was a loyal Waltz aide’s fat-fingered mistake, the progressive press would’ve plastered that name across every headline by now, complete with a bio, a photo, and a tearful interview with their third-grade teacher. The absence of that frenzy suggests something’s rotten in Denmark—or at least in the D.C. bubble. A left-wing plant would explain the hush. It’s a liability they can’t afford to burn, not when the midterms loom and the stakes are sky-high.
