I had to check that your quote was correct, because that doesn’t seem like the words they probably meant to use. Though, now that I think of it, the current administration referring someone to a “criminal entity” is all too plausible.
If you read the full transcript of all of the released signal messages it’s pretty obvious that they always talk like that.
They probably attended some seminar on public speaking by some hack and they were told to sound “alpha” in their communications. It’s a sort of thing these idiots would obsess about.
According to the AP it’s a direct quote from the memo written by the finest legal minds Trump’s money can buy
