SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I know the media is upset that this -- an accident happened. It's really all it is, an honest mistake. Should it happen? No. Will it ever likely happen again? No. 

And, what really is frustrating in all of this is we're not talking about the systemic institutional policy danger of this joint Signal text message, which is an encrypted app, that took place that somehow included Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic on it. And the media would act as though this is the biggest national security disaster in the history of the country. It is not. 

There was no classified information in the discussion. The mission was a complete success.
