Why the leaks under Democratic Administrations?

[Jen]

Even some Democrats are furious about this. Diane Feinstein speaks: LINK

"This is like an avalanche. It is very detrimental and, candidly, I found it very concerning,” Feinstein said. “There’s no question that this kind of thing hurts our country.”

Some high government figures believe it is possible that the leaks originate high in the Administration (to make President Obama look good as the election approaches).

It is commonly suspected that the leaks are coming from the commander-in-chief himself--or his surrogates. Sen. McCain told CBS This Morning: "This is the most highly classified information and it’s now been leaked by the administration at the highest levels at the White House and that’s not acceptable."

It is hard to believe that President Obama would throw us all under the bus for a little political capital. And Jay Carney, of course, denies that the White House has orchestrated any leaks.

White House press secretary Jay Carney says any claim of leaks for political gain is "grossly irresponsible."

Referring to McCain by name, Carney says the Obama administration always takes proper precautions to prevent leaks of information that could harm ongoing counter terrorism or intelligence operations. He spoke to reporters traveling with Obama to the West Coast on Wednesday.

A day earlier, McCain had accused the Obama administration of selectively leaking classified data on a computer virus attack on Iran and CIA drone strikes.

But the bottom line is that those leaks are only known by a select number of people. Who would most benefit from the leaks?

Jack Levin, Senator (D):

"“I just can’t believe that there’s a decision in any kind of a formal way to leak this kind of a thing,”

he told The Hill.

"FORMAL" leak????? WTF is THAT? Wouldn't that qualify as an ANNOUNCEMENT?

More proof that democrats are MORONS. They're in all 57 states, and should be on "breathalizers" since it's obvious that there's a lack of oxygen killing their brain cells.

Jen, what precisely was leaked? Not arguing, just haven't got the story yet.

 

[ARMCX1]

McCain (and other GOP/TP) accused the WH of leaking information about the FLAME and STUXNET viruses which allegedly have been used against Iran's nuclear enrichment program--and were allegedly engineered by the US and Israel.

The GOP/TP feel/fear that the release of this information casts Obama in a positive and favorable light.

[Jen]

There is definitely someone in that administration that doesn't realize the importance of a little secrecy. Don't they realize that nobody is going to give us information if their name is leaked to people who might want to do them harm? That poor fellow that helped us in Pakistan and was thrown under the bus by this administration and will now spend the rest of his life in a Pakistani jail is the poster boy for reasons not to help the USA.

Can this possibly be accidental stupidity?

And the Democrats had the chutzpah to shriek over Valerie Plame?

One really wonders.

Teason Charges SHOULD be imminent... Top Secret = OK to disclose by Obama if it benefits his campaign?

 

[Jen]

I'm sure if that's the case he has covered his butt enough that it can't be proven.

I mean........look at the lack of blood from that turnip Holder...........

Obama admin good at coverup because the ABC NBC CBS media hide these heinous stories.
Greta nailed one of the congressmen on Issa's panel.... called them weak. Holder should be in jail by now.

I'm sure if that's the case he has covered his butt enough that it can't be proven.
