Tulsi Gabbard Announces Crackdown on Intel Leaks to Left-Wing Media Outlets
2025-03-16
[NATIONALREVIEW] Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that she is cracking down on leaks coming from inside the intelligence community to left-wing media organizations.Gabbard declared on X that ''politically motivated'' leaks by intelligence officials will come to an end and listed several examples of unauthorized leaks to news outlets.

''Our nation's Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated,'' Gabbard said.

''Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no investigation or accountability. That ends now. We know of and are aggressively pursuing recent leakers from within the Intelligence Community and will hold them accountable.''

Gabbard highlighted an undisclosed leaker who shared classified information with the progressive Huffington Post and another who imparted information about Israel and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
to the Washington Post. A third leaker shared details about the U.S.-Russia relationship to NBC News and a fourth disclosed activities from the national counterintelligence and security center, a division within Gabbard's office, to The Record, a cybersecurity publication.

''Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such,'' Gabbard concluded. Gabbard did not specify whether the leakers she identified were terminated from their positions.

The intelligence leakers will likely be referred to Attorney General Pam Bondi for prosecution. Bondi has taken a hard stance against unauthorized leakers, warning them of severe consequences. Leaks from the intelligence community and the broader administrative state were a problem for President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
throughout his first term, helping entrench Trump's distrust for the intelligence community and federal employees, who are overwhelmingly Democratic in their political affiliation.

#2  Jeff Bezos did seem to get rather chummy with Donald "Big Pharma" Trump lately, or so it seemed.
