(Di Fi) White House linked to intelligence leaks

The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday that the White House appears to be responsible for some highly criticized leaks of classified information in recent months.

“I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a World Affairs Council forum.

The California lawmaker said she was certain that President Obama, who receives a daily intelligence briefing, isn’t disclosing secret information, but she was uncertain about others at the White House. “I don’t believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it,” she said.

Republicans have slammed the disclosures, arguing that members of the Obama administration were intentionally leaking classified material to enhance the president’s national security credentials in an election year. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has appointed two attorneys to lead the investigation into who leaked information about U.S. involvement in cyberattacks on Iran and about an al Qaeda plot to place an explosive device aboard a U.S.-bound airliner.

Well, that is a pretty damning comment from Sen. Feinstein.

I am wondering if Obama is going to get tossed off the ticket.

[Venturer]

Well Gee Diane, what took you so long to figure that out?

Most of us knew it the next day.

And you are right, Obama didn’t leak it himself, he told his flunkies what to leak and they leaked it.

Don’t worry Obama knew what was coming out. Only things he thought would make him look like a big leader, when he is relly only a piss-ant

I've maintained this for some time now. All the libtards are playing their parts, saying their lines correctly and at the right time. The only one who's not in the cast is The Won.

Can you say "gaslighting?"

Valerie Jarrett written all over it.

Not that Feinstein hasn’t had loose lip syndrome in the past. Didn’t she out an operative name before? Call for a special prosecutor or get out.

Could this be why?

Paybacks are a Bitch and so is she

[originalbuckeye]

IIRC after the surveillance plane incident with China early in the first GWB Admin, she took it upon herself to apologize to China for our huge plane hitting their little jet jockey. IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT! But her husband had lots of business in China so she intervened. Bush was not going to apologize. Off and on I have a small amount of respect for her but she is, in the end, nothing but a partisan Dem hack.

They all do it. They all do it in ways that allow for plausible deniability of any intent of wrong doing. Imagine if an Army private did that? Like Bradley Manning, he'd be looking at years behind bars. Was it any different under Clinton where soldiers lost their careers over adultery and the Commander in Chief laughs his escapades off while committing perjury on top of it all?

In America something developed which is very bad. We have a ruling class, people with a sense of entitlement to power; where you have a class justice system and selective enforcement of the laws with an apathetic society that has grown to expect corruption, lies and political pandering by their “law makers.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she was “wiped out” by Kinde Durkee, a well-connected California Democratic political operative who served as treasurer for hundreds of state, local and federal campaign committees.

Awww, Dianne’s up for reelection next year and her campaign funds are gone........!! Sooo Sad... /S

[haircutter]

she will be 80 next year...

time for the money and her both to run OUT...

much too long in Congress...

[nascarnation]

had no idea she was that old

at least here in Indiana we flushed Lugar before he hit 80.

no chance of that happening in Cali I suppose

nobody who is 80 should be signing up for a 6 year term IMHO

There is no way the Dems are going to throw the first black President off the ticket.

...“I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks,”...

That's inane. If it's coming from the White House of course it's understood.

[potlatch]

Wow, I didn’t know she was that old. She looks pretty good for that age, but I agree with you - her term limits are way past due!

[livius]

DiFi is pretty obnoxious and clueless on domestic stuff, like any Dem, but she has always been fairly good on defense.

She’s by no means the worst thing to ever come out of San Francisco.

[brewcrew]

Only one of us can be right.

We'll see.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

It’s comforting to know this had nothing to do with Huma. After all, if DiFi says so, it must be true.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks markomalley.

Anyone care to guess where she’ll be when Obama has her assassinated?

BTW, for intelligence to leak out of the White House, wouldn’t there have had to be some inside to begin with?

[haircutter]

Hey a bottle of hair color and a little botox and a fat checking account we could all look good...

she has at least toned down the huge back combing of her hair and got more with the times...

birthday is June 22, 1933...so next June folks she will hit the big 8 0 ............
