U.S. Investigators Searching For Who Was Responsible For Recent Leak Of Top Secret Pentagon Documents

 

CNN: Investigations of leaked Pentagon documents take shape as DOJ probes source of leak  

Washington CNN — The US government investigations into a leak of highly classified Pentagon documents are starting to take shape, with the Pentagon examining how the leak impacts US national security and the Justice Department launching a criminal investigation into who may have been behind the breach. 

The interagency probe is being led by the Pentagon’s Office of Intelligence and Security, according to three US officials, and could take months to complete. It will chiefly examine whether any sources and methods have been compromised since the documents, many of which are marked Top Secret, were posted on a social media platform earlier this year. 

Milancy Harris, the deputy under secretary of defense for intelligence and security, will be in charge of the effort on the Pentagon side, officials said. The investigation will also try to determine the scope of the leak, since officials do not yet know whether it has been contained or whether there are more classified documents still circulating online.

According to those documents, Russian casualties are far fewer than what western media is reporting. Three estimates were given but the median was 45k-60k for the Russians.

The only ones i can think of doing this is Mossad. Remember why they were in the spotlight recently.

It's a big warning shot from someone.. so.. if it's a warning shot it's not an real enemy. This is probably a message to the Biden administration.

Republicans in the Missouri State House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to strip all public libraries of their funding a week after lawmakers debated the budget proposal that Governor Mike Parson submitted to the legislature.

The version that will now head to the State Senate eliminated "not only the $4.5 million Parson had slated for libraries, but also costs for diversity initiatives, childcare and pre-kindergarten programs," Heartland Signal reported.

Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton called all-ages drag shows “grooming events” that “sexualize” children. An official complaint alleges he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a young intern.

I don't know 😂 I'm throwing theories at the wall and see what's sticks.
But what we know is that all of these stuff is already burnt material. No value. So why not put in something that leads away from the source. Wouldn't be very hard to imagine.

This can actually also be a real leak from the "US".. And then i understand the dumb look on Kirby's face, but of this is true i would actually be more worried
