Ex-US Attorney Jessica Aber Investigated Russia, CIA Leaker Before Death
Newsweek ^ | 3/23/25 | Ellie Cook

Posted on 03/23/2025 10:00:01 AM PDT by Libloather

Former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Jessica Aber, who was found dead at the age of 43 by Virginia authorities on Saturday, was at the helm of high-profile investigations into intelligence leaks, allegations of war crimes against Russian-linked individuals and people suspected of providing sensitive U.S. technology to Moscow before she stepped down at the start of the year.

Why It Matters

Aber, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, resigned in January after President Donald Trump was inaugurated. She had risen to lead one of the most important federal prosecutor's offices and roughly 300 prosecutors, civil litigators, and support personnel, regularly tasked with national security and terrorism-related cases.

The Alexandria Police Department said on Saturday that officers responded shortly after 9 a.m. local time to reports of an unresponsive woman at Beverley Drive, north of downtown and south of Arlington.

What To Know

In mid-January, Asif Rahman, a former CIA analyst, pleaded guilty to retaining and transmitting top secret national defense information to people who were not entitled to receive it, before the information then appeared on social media in October 2024.

Aber said at the time that Rahman had "disclosed top secret American documents in violation of his oath, his responsibility, and the law," and his actions had "placed lives at risk, undermined U.S. foreign relations, and compromised our ability to collect vital intelligence in the future."

The Justice Department said in late September that it had, along with the State and Treasury Departments and law enforcement, unsealed an indictment that charged a Russian national, named as Sergey Ivanov, with involvement in "multiple money laundering services that catered to cybercriminals, as well as the seizure of websites associated with three illicit cryptocurrency exchanges."

My guess - “an accidental drug overdose”.

That’s how the Deep State got rid of Marilyn Monroe.
And journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, too.

Are they saying it was a homicide or a murder? Or maybe it is natural causes. Died Suddenly.

So why are people jumping the gun without knowing a probable cause of death?

And journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, too.

Reportedly, she had a LOT of damning info re: JFK murder/assassination - perhaps TOO MUCH to stay alive.

I'd love to see her notes & research released...if they still exist.

From X: [Aber] spent years investigating and extraditing a defendant from Israel. He pleaded guilty to recruiting and facilitating the illegal entry of Israeli citizens into the United States with fraudulent visas.

Initially, The Gateway Pundit article stated: “This morning, at approximately 9:18 a.m., Alexandria Police responded to the 900 block of Beverley Drive for the report of an unresponsive woman."

NBCNews stated, "Police discovered Aber's body while responding to a report of an unresponsive woman around 9:20 a.m., the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement."

Another news report stated: "Alexandria police responded to a call about an unresponsive woman in the 900 block of Beverley Drive in Alexandria around 9:18 a.m. on Saturday (March 22). They found Aber dead at the scene."

But Newsweak now claims: The Alexandria Police Department said on Saturday that officers responded shortly after 9 a.m. local time to reports of an unresponsive woman at Beverley Drive, north of downtown and south of Arlington."

Is this just another example of Newsweak reporting skills or did more than one person find and report the body?!?

She was supposed to sweep it under the rug, not file indictments?

Most likely all “sanitized” by now.
