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.
The referral languished inside the Justice Department for months – with top leaders unaware of the concerns – until FBI Director Kash Patel was alerted to the existence of the referral a few weeks ago.
Since then, FBI counterintelligence and criminal agents have ramped up their probe and expanded to other potential leaks and media contacts tied to the committee’s Democrats, sources said.
The new probe is the latest to emerge from a Trump administration crackdown on the leaks of classified secrets led by the FBI.
Over the last 15 months, that crackdown has led to major indictments by the Justice Department of figures ranging from former National Security Advisor John Bolton to a former Army employee accused last month of leaking to a journalist.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has been the focus of past major leaks probes, including a case in 2018 that eventually led its former security chief James Wolfe to plead guilty to lying to the FBI about his leaks of nonpublic information to a reporter.

There’s that word again. “Investigation”
Well, DUH!
And some Freepers think PDJT should have informed congress before attacking Iran.
Every time these traitors do this type of thing it is an attack on American citizens.
So glad Bondi got fired!
Possible leaks of classified information by Democrats.
Comrades hold meeting we need a cover story?.
The enemy within...
Good that they are tackling the leaker problem.
Washington has been full of leakers and previous admin did nothing about it.
DEMOCRATS

Some interesting potential candidates for leaker. Pick your favorite!
“So glad Bondi got fired!”
Ditto. And Kash is really cranking it out now.

long line of potential intelligence risks including recently “promoted” sinator schiff, who was formerly on house intelligence committee (gang of 8)....
going back to sinator mark “the sieve” warner...
and the to sinator di fi chi spy
all these dims make lindsey seem pretty straight
Yep I used to complain about both of them...but clearly it was bondi holding him back!
I’d love Warner to get arrested.
Oh , so would I .
A NSA criminal referral , sounds ominous . Let’s hope a competent prosecutor is found to pursue this.
Kelly would be interesting choice, he being one of the “unlawful order” gang.
I dunno, talking smack like that might get the NSA taking a closer look at you.
Fingers crossed it leads to bedlam for the Donks.
All of them.
Next.
Lead with a pair of bracketing salvos.
Let ‘em know their number’s up.
Then deliver the citadel hit that puts their ship on the seabed.
