Shortened title.

Full title: Intelligence analyst charged with leaking top-secret information to left-wing reporter Jeremy Scahill

A former intelligence analyst and Afghanistan veteran has been charged with leaking classified information to the media.

Daniel Everette Hale, 31, of Nashville, Tenn., was arrested on federal charges Thursday. The reporter that Hale leaked this information to is not named in the indictment, but the charging document identifies him as Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept, an outspoken critic of America’s military activities overseas . Hale "printed off a series of Secret and Top Secret documents through his position with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, many of which he then provided to the reporter."

In April 2013 while he was still with the NSA, Hale met with the reporter in person numerous times and messaged with him many times, including through Jabber, an encrypted messaging platform.

The indictment says this began in April 2013 when Hale searched the internet for information on this reporter and, when he found the reporter would be appearing at a book store event in D.C. on April 29, 2013, he showed up at the event to meet him. They emailed, texted, and called each other throughout the spring and summer of 2013, and began to use Jabber as well when the reporter asked Hale to “just set up a [Jabber] account [so] we can chat on encrypted].”

It added: “On or about June 9, 2013, the reporter sent Hale an email with a link to an article about Edward Snowden in an online publication. That same day, Hale texted a friend that the previous night he had been hanging out with journalists who were focused on his story. Hale wrote that the evening’s events might provide him with ‘lifelong connections with people who publish work like this.’”

Hillary sets up a private server that leaked top-secret U.S. intel to Lord knows who. Her emails somehow wound up with Abedin (vice chair of Clinton’s 2016 campaign and deputy chief of staff to Clinton) and on her husband’s (Weiner’s) laptop.

Where are the indictments?

I suppose such leaks and internal opposition are to be expected when you leave the business of killing in the hands of young, urban, millennial, snowflake and above-all, non-military, bureaucrats.

Jabber is probably a NSA company.

I also remember lots of green zone enemy incursions in Afghanistan around that time.

The Intercept is the same outfit that CIA contract employee Fantasy Loser (aka Reality Winner) tried to hawk Top Secret information stolen from the CIA files.

I’m sick of this crap. Sick of nothing ever being done about the True Criminals on the Left. People are going to start tuning it out and just living their lives. Not worth the endless aggravation!

I think we’re beginning to see that the ball is rolling toward the bigger fish.

That judge that got arrested for helping the illegal escape,... I think that was the tipping point.

Folks on the Left better have the good sense to be nervous about now.
