    Is it a coincidence that the person who wrote press release announcing Mike Waltz’s nomination is called Richard Goldberg, that he worked in previous Trump’s administration and is an expert on Iran/Houti? Did Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg totally by accident or did he simply confuse the Goldbergs?

        It’s just something I found, no idea how plausible it is. It does look like a pretty big coincidence to me but no one is reporting on that.

          The man wrote an op ed for AP about him from what I saw. He also used to do work with the national security council iirc. Seems very plausible

            Both Waltz and Goldberg work for FDD. My theory: Waltz is paid by FDD, wanted to do them a favor and keep them in the loop on Houti attacks so he adds their Iran expert to the chat. Well, tried to add…
