US Intelligence Says Leak Of Russian Bounty Story Was ‘A Crime,’ Jeopardized Investigation

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe released a statement condemning media reports about a Russian unit that allegedly put bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and said the reports ruined an ongoing investigation.

President Donald Trump tweeted out Ratcliffe’s statement Tuesday morning, in which the DNI reiterated that leaking classified intelligence is a crime.

“U.S. and coalition force protection is a critical priority for both the President and the intelligence community,” Ratcliffe wrote. “The selective leaking of any classified information disrupts the vital intelligence work to collect, assess, and mitigate threats and places our forces at risk. It is also, simply put, a crime.”

“We are still investigating the alleged intelligence referenced in recent media reporting and we will brief the President and Congressional leaders at the appropriate time. This is the analytic process working the way it should,” the statement continued. “Unfortunately, unauthorized disclosures now jeopardize our ability to ever find out the full story with respect to these allegations.”

As the leaker and the NYT intended.

I'm pretty sure the NYT and MSM could not be prosecuted, something that traces back (at least) to the Pentagon Papers case. The leaker, OTOH, could, but determining who that was probably won't be instantaneous.

Some advice... even if/when the leaker is identified... don't hold your breath for anything AT ALL to happen to them re: justice.

Oh, and I could agree with prosecuting that person.  But your right they won't because they have something to hide in all this.  I said many times on these threads that Freedom of the press is not unlimited.  If a crime was committed they should be prosecuted.  Perhaps their license pulled.

And why wouldn't they prosecute?  This story has a lasting affect on our military Service people.  They shouldn't just have excusing the president in mind.  They should have the truth in their minds.  I think Trump will lose military votes because of this. They still are reporting it in military news and it isn't being reported as a closed issue.

 11513 There is no evidence the Russians ever made such an offer (and why would they pay Talibanders for what the Talibanders already do willingly?).

 11513 Trump was not briefed on this, so the whole, "Trump didn't act!" narrative is false.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@mystery-ak

Gee,I wonder how the media came into possession of the "evidence" that was leaked to them?  We all know that no one in the DNC would even consider doing such a thing.</S>
