There is clearly a concerted effort by a wing of MAGA to use the Signal chat controversy as an opportunity to defenestrate Mike Waltz (and/or his deputy Alex Wong) for being insufficiently isolationist. This has created a strange-bedfellow alliance where the media wants a scalp and the anti-Waltz element wants the scalp to be Waltz’s, and is agitating and presumably leaking accordingly. The longer this story drags on, the worse it is for anyone who thinks Waltz is an important part of the team and a good balancer among the various factions of the Trump coalition (and, by the way, on the Signal chain, Waltz was unquestionably being an honest broker and loyally carrying out the president’s decision).
