Feinstein: White House Behind National Security Leaks

"


The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday the White House was behind recent national security leaks in part, but would not implicate President Obama on the matter, the Associated Press reports.


Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that although she is sure the president is not disclosing secret information to the public, she wasn’t as sure about other White House staff.


“I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks,” she said at a World Affairs Council forum, according to AP. But on Obama, she said, “I don’t believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it.”


Attorney General Eric Holder has launched an investigation looking into the leaks that revealed cyber-attacks against Iran and a plot by al Qaida to bomb an airliner. Republicans have been critical of the White House over recent leaks, blaming the administration for playing politics with national security."

    Of course it was. And I'll bet Obie told them to leak it with plausible deniability.

    While I don't doubt for a second that Sen. Feinstein's stunning decision to break ranks with the Socialist....er, I mean Democrat Party, is politically motivated, it is a welcome announcement that she has spoken out publicly regarding the traitorous people in the White House and this administration revealing info. regarding national security.

    I doubt any one believed that Obama was doing the leaking to reporters. But they do believe that he ordered on of his minions to do the leaking.

    but, but, but . . . President Obama is offended by "the notion that His White House would purposely release classifed national security information"

    Therefore it can't be the White House.
    Case closed.
    (And just in case there was one . . . executive order invoked.)

    Obama would not dare do the actual leaking himself. There would be no denaibity on his part.
    However, that said, Obama would tell one of his minions to do the leaking and if necessary throw him or her under the bus when caught.

    One thing we know about 0bama is he is good to his donor/supporters.....
    like Solyndra, and merciless toward those who have the audacity to
    not support him................ And he doesn't care who the h*ll they are and
    the relationship he may have had with them..... like Rev. Wright and Granny.

    Don't you just love that. A democratic Senator actually comes out and states that the WH was behind the recent intelligence leaks but she isn't going to implicate Obama. Hell, if there was a republican in the WH she would be screaming for his head.
