It isn’t:

12/ Anyone who suggests this is a total exoneration is either misinformed or lying.

11/"The Secretary’s Communication of Nonpublic DoD Information Created Additional Risks to U.S. Forces and Missions"

10/"The Secretary and OSD Did Not Retain the Secretary’s Conversations on Signal as Official Records as Required by Federal Law and DoD Policy"

9/ Just reading the titles of the "Findings" sections makes it clear:
"The Secretary Sent Sensitive, Nonpublic Information over Signal, an Application Not Approved for Transmission of Nonpublic DoD Information"

8/"the Secretary and OSD did not retain records of the Secretary’s conversations on Signal discussing official government business, as required by 44 U.S.C. § 2911 and DoDI 5015.02, 'DoD Records Management Program.'"

7/"...DoDI 8170.01 prohibits the use of personal devices for official government business and the use of nonapproved commercially available messaging applications, such as Signal, to process nonpublic or classified DoD information.

6/"the Secretary’s actions did not comply with DoDI 8170.01 when he sent sensitive, nonpublic, DoD operational information over Signal from his personal cell phone. .."

5/"if this information had fallen into the hands of U.S. adversaries, Houthi forces might have been able to counter U.S. forces or reposition personnel and assets to avoid planned U.S. strikes."

4/ "Using a personal cell phone to conduct official business and send nonpublic DoD information through Signal risks potential compromise of sensitive DoD information, which could cause harm to DoD personnel and mission objectives.”

3/ "using unauthorized applications or sharing DoD information over improperly secured devices, even temporarily, increases the risk of exposing sensitive DoD information that could impact national security and DoD missions."

2/ "... the Secretary’s actions created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed U.S. mission objectives and potential harm to U.S. pilots."

Hegseth is falsely saying the IG report is a “total exoneration.”

It ACTUALLY says his Signal use “exposed sensitive DoD information" risking "potential compromise of sensitive DoD information, which could cause harm to DoD personnel and mission objectives." 1/
