A competent Congress would be starting investigations and holding hearings NOW! If I were in the military, or had a family member in the military, I would be furious about the callous disregard for troop safety.
Incompetent to comprehend much less execute the responsibilities assigned to them, yes, but absolute wizards when it comes to mendacity, cruelty, corruption, and propaganda.
For decades, Republicans have claimed, against evidence, that that government agencies are incompetent and inefficient compared to private sector alternatives. If anything, they are happy that the malevolent stupidity of the Trump administration is bringing the reality closer to their own preconceived (and until now, wrong) ideology-driven understanding.
Now they're just going to lie about it, since they know Goldberg won't reveal the classified information. He's the legit patriot from the chat. And if he did for some reason reveal the information, he'd be at Gitmo in a nanosecond. That's why one of the current conspiracy RW talking points is that he was deliberately trapped. It's the situation he's in, so the screwup has suddenly become 11th dimensional chess.
"If it ain't broke, do whatever to make it broke." Then R's will be correct! A Government's responsibility is to help its citizens live productive, healthy, happy lives!

I believe they have! But will anything come of it?

(And I hate to be that person, but it's Waltz.)
