This could be huge…

Reportedly, the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into whether or not Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee leaked classified information in an attempt to sabotage DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation.

The investigation centers around the leak of a classified overseas intercept to The New York Times. It reportedly contained information linked to Gabbard’s 2017 Syria trip.

Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee were in possession of the documents before they showed up in a NYT hit piece targeting Gabbard.

Just the News reported:

The FBI has opened an investigation into possible leaks of classified information by Democrats or their staffs on the Senate Intelligence Committee, spurred in part by a criminal referral from the National Security Agency concerning the release of one of its overseas intercepts, sources told Just the News.

The NSA made the referral last summer concerning reports, including one in The New York Times, earlier that year during Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation process that quoted information from an intercept of two Hezbollah terrorist figures who claimed Gabbard, during a 2017 trip to Syria, had met with the “big guy.”

The Times suggested the reference was taken by some to mean Gabbard had met with a top Hezbollah terrorist leader, a claim she adamantly denied.

NSA concluded the leak accurately contained information from one of its intercepts but that Gabbard had not in fact met with Hezbollah leaders.

The spy agency identified potential leakers among Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat staff who had access to the intercept prior to the Times report, sources said.

A referral was made last summer, but, suspiciously, it never made its way to the top.

FBI Director Kash Patel only became aware of the referral a few weeks ago and jumped into action to launch the probe.

John Solomon explained the details of the investigation further this clip:

HOLY SMOKES. The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into whether Senate Intel Committee Democrats LEAKED *classified information* relating to DNI Tulsi Gabbard to the NYT

Make ARRESTS! The Democrats want to rip our country apart!

SOLOMON: “The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into whether Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee were leaking classified information, specifically a National Security Agency intercept that mentioned Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.”

“This is highly classified stuff. It showed up in the New York Times a year ago.”

“The NSA, according to our sources, referred the matter to the FBI.”

“Last summer it didn’t get to the director. They kept it from the director.”

“When he found out, when Kash Patel found out a few weeks ago, he opened up a criminal investigation.”

“It appears to be steaming towards a conclusion. We could have some accountability or at least some resolution of this in the next few weeks.”

Investigate it fully and hold the leakers accountable!
