Court Filing: Obama Holdover Heading Office Under Investigation for ‘Illegally Leaked’ Clas

The Obama holdover heading the Pentagon office reportedly under investigation by the U.S. attorney who is conducting the criminal probe of the Trump–Russia investigation was accused of leaking a classified document, in a recent court filing for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

The connection hasn’t been previously reported.

According to a Nov. 21 report by independent journalist Sara Carter, U.S. Attorney John Durham is questioning personnel in the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA). ONA awarded about $1 million in contracts to FBI informant Stefan Halper, who appears to have played a key role in alleged U.S. intelligence agency spying on 2016 Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

In addition, however, a court filing indicates that ONA’s director, James H. Baker, “is believed to be the person who illegally leaked the transcript of Mr. Flynn’s calls” to The Washington Post. Specifically, the filing states, “ONA Director Baker regularly lunched with Washington Post Reporter David Ignatius.”

Won’t make any difference. The hyperbolic hand wringing cynics must spew their mindless sludge.

Good grief. One knows that “clearing out Obama employees” and “flushing the toilet” accomplish the same goals.

Get rid of these low-IQ no morals clueless ill educated dorks.

All of them.

Now.

At the rate they are going Trump will be out of office by the time they make their first arrest, and the whole point will be moot.

More to the point, before they finish investigating one coup attempt two more have already come and gone. This reminds me of the old Clinton days when before you could get started investigating one scandal several more had come and gone and when you finally pried some key piece of evidence into daylight it was like “gee, are you still obsessed with that? That’s like, so two years ago”... You could never keep up.

Halper was bribed and paid handsomely. James Baker is a traitor.

It’s so frustrating. No one is held responsible.

leaking a classified document

If done willfully this is a criminal act. The offender needs to be fired and fined, fined as in serious money and loss of pension - now that would be a future deterrent to these weasels who are NEVER held to account.

“The connection hasn’t been previously reported.

According to a Nov. 21 report ...”

Except in the 11/21 report.

This is why Michelle must be elected President. She needs to shut down this investigation before it reaches Barack.

The head of the Office of Net Assessments used to be the brilliant and well-known Andy Marshall. He retired, the office was deprecated (by Obama) and this idiot was put in charge. The function - fusing intelligence and force projections to understand comparative warfighting capabilities was a lynch pin of our national security posture.

It is unbelieveable that this office even had anything to do with Halper. How low we have fallen.
