LOL, some taint-licker on the dead bird site (nah, I don't remember which, somebody reposted it to the non-fasch butterfly site) said that the Sec Shitfaced added Goldberg *intentionally* because he was doing some 11th-dimensional messaging shit to warn Europe about the US being upset with them. Sure, that makes total sense as a strategic diplomatic tactic and also gee, European leaders would be so surprised to learn this change of heart from the notoriously close-to-the-vest maladministration.
Even their ass-covering is laughable. Great job, guys.
