Can users in a group add/invite others in? My firth though was someone doing it on the sly, to leak deliberately.

This is what I started thinking last night. Any of the people who were added to the chat could be disgruntled and add a reporter to the chat to leak it. Is there even any log of who added who to a chat? There might not even be any way to pin it on the leaker. If the leaker had been involved in several such chats and knew the intent was to intentionally violate federal recordkeeping laws, not only would this accomplish the leak, but there might not even be any record of who caused the leak.
I don't think that new people added to group chats are able to see past messages on signal.
If they have admin privileges. The person who creates a group has them by default, and can grant them to anyone else, admins can add, remove, and grant or revoke admin privileges and set group name/description parameters, and disappearing message configuration. Yes, you could have a group where the founder revokes admin privileges for themselves and then nobody can make changes to the group (although individual members can leave and delete the history on their own devices). Signal users can also delete their own messages.
By default, yes. You can change the permissions so only group admins can add people.
Goldberg is not a fan of Trump
I did not believe there was any way this was done accidentally...
Hanlon's razor begs to differ.
Trump sent his golf buddy Waltz to negotiate with Putin and he came back brainwashed with Russian propaganda. Russian psyops is either really good or some of these people in the administration are just morons.
Hanlon’s razor still has to account for why Goldberg was in Walt’z phone to begin with. If you’re going to butt dial or fat finger the editor of a publication into your super classified bombing plans I don’t think even Hanlon could reconcile it to random number dialing instead of just hitting the wrong contact.
