U.S. Intelligence Raising Concerns On The Biden Administration's Non-Stop Leaking Of Russian Intel

Politico: Spy world wary as Biden team keeps leaking Russia intel 

U.S. national security figures get that information war is the new battleground. 

But "how many freaking times do they need to warn that anything may be imminent?” one asked. The Biden administration has gone to unusual lengths to publicly share intelligence about Russia’s threat to Ukraine, using targeted media leaks and other methods to warn the world of everything from the specifics of Moscow’s troop build-up to an alleged Kremlin plot to fake an attack that justifies an invasion. 

The strategy has its fans, but some national security veterans wonder if the administration is taking it too far. 

U.S. officials say the disclosures are carefully vetted and represent only a small amount of the information America and its allies have gathered as Russian leader Vladimir Putin amasses troops along Ukraine’s border. The goals, they say, include preemptively exposing — and thus derailing — Russian lies that could lead to a war while also putting America and its European allies on the same page.

The needs of a Democrat administration and the Democrat Party for continuance comes before the needs of American citizens to survive and thrive.
