White House asks press to downplay leak of US dirt on allies — fears more coming
NY Post ^ | 04/10/2023 | By Steven Nelson

White House spokesman John Kirby urged reporters Monday to play down leaks of classified records pertaining to Ukraine, Israel, South Korea and other countries...

Kirby said at the White House briefing that some of the documents, which indicate US surveillance of close allies, are “doctored” — without specifying which ones.

He also claimed others might contain real but sensitive information unsuitable for publication on the “front pages of newspapers or on television.”

The documents also mention Zelensky’s interest in launching military attacks inside Russia, which the documents said could be used by China as a pretext to arm Moscow.

In addition, documents also contain pot-stirring details damaging to the US relationships with Israel and South Korea.

One document attributed to the CIA says that Israel’s Mossad spy agency has been stoking large protests by secular Israelis against the government of conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Another document reveals South Korean qualms about an American request to send ammunition to the US for use in Ukraine.

Seoul has a policy against arming foreign nations at war.

Biden administration officials previously pressured social media companies to censor political debate about COVID-19 policies such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates by arguing minority viewpoints were “disinformation.”

As a candidate, Biden falsely claimed documents from his son Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian misinformation.Those documents showed Joe Biden’s links to Chinese and Ukrainian business relationships and later gained substantial corroboration from witnesses and other records.

Does anyone believe a word Kirby spews? Zero credibility.

I guess this means the Ukraine report was true, ergo we threw away $150 Billion and Biden no doubt committed that much again to Off shore Accounts.

The Senators wanted ($$$) assurances.

Think anyone will ask Jennifer Griffin how much she got paid?

All of the sudden it's no big deal to leak classified material?

"In direct contravention to the 1st Amendment, White House asks press to downplay leak of US dirt on allies..."

Fixed it for them.

Didn’t stop the NYT from publishing the Pentagon Papers back in 1971.
