1 Pentagon denies employee of Iranian origin leaked Israel's strike intel
IMO: she just transferred them to Iran - somebody else leaked (not an Iranian spy, a regular "anti-Zionist")

2 Resulting in the convenient aborting of the planned Israeli strike target folder. Element of surprise scuttled. Strike unlikely to happend prior to the election, or the Trump inauguration.

3 @2 Israel had to reasonably expect a leak; either a public leak or the administration giving the information to Iran directly.

7 "To my knowledge, this official is not a subject of interest," said Press Secretary of the Air Force, Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder

"To my knowledge" - Gosh, that sure sounds like a Lawyerly Denial to me! An impulsive person might take that as solid confirmation.

8 if this was a really important leak it would not be given to Tabatabai but to someone less known; that is if the leak operator was smart.

10 We need to stop tolerating this stuff.

Citizens should be very vocal about hanging politicians who betray the nation.

13 /\ Excellent find 3dc. I believe we are beginning to formulate a pretty accurate picture of Kamala.

14 Isn't it reassuring there are no shortages of possible Ayatollah-licking toadies in positions of power in the DOD/IC community as suspects?

16 Surprisingly, to some at least, the domination of those who feel so strongly that no law or established check and balance applies has given way to outright spying.

Who could have seen THAT coming?

17 Ref #14 above-once Trump takes office someone needs to lockdown the Adjudication files for every one of the Biden Administration TS/SCI-Single Scope-SBI's. The investigative leads to the Iranian penetrations are all found therein.

A primer for those who need it on how a clearance is given.
