This is fake news. If this would happen (however unlikely) Gandalf would probably stay quiet about being added to the group and just write about it in his weekly magazine. Also, there were no war plans discussed.

Also Sauron would claim that having Gandalf in this chat did not pose any risks or breaches in operational security. They would further suggest that since Gandalf is a "so called" wizard (with ties to hobbits) the chat itself is some kind of hoax and that Sauron should be trusted over Gandalf.

This whole saga is only getting funnier. But the funniest (and saddest) part is that there still is a sizable portion of people who still don't want to see the ridiculousness of this situation.

Sauron only saw Gandalf as an even more powerful and useful tool for him. Who would want to destroy the Ring? Madness.

I'm sorry my lord, but you did say to add the white wizard... How was I to know there were two of them now??

Saruman has left himself in chat idle and AFK. He had forgotten to take Gandalf off auto-invite after their ordeal.

Isn't it basically the Palantir story?

Loop in The Atlantic for good measure.
