'Iranian American leaked Iran strike plans'. Sky News Arabic identifies Ariane Tabatabai, senior Pentagon staffer with access to highly classified secrets.
A senior staffer in the office of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was identified as the leaker of the classified documents dealing with the Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran, Sky News Arabic reported on Tuesday, quoting a senior Pentagon Source.
The suspected staffer was identified as Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian American who works as the Bureau Chief to Austin's aid for special operations and was authorized to have access to very secret information.
she will be out of the country by then
The death penalty for espionage is only possible for members of the military, there is no death penalty for civilians convicted of espionage.
As far as treason, it is defined in the Constitution as :”Treason against the United States, shall consist ONLY in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Since the actual US government maintains informal relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and has under various governments given them money and various kinds of technical assistance, I hardly think a treason conviction would be possible. The last sentencing for treason in the US was in 1952, and it pretty much closed the definition of “their enemies” (the States, united) to nations against which the Congress had declared war.
The Rosenbergs were not convicted of treason because the USSR was an ally of the US when they committed their crimes (online references saying they were charged with treason are incorrect). Jonathan Pollard was not tried for treason, because the US was not at war with Israel.
Need to reopen & expand those essential interment camps used for the Emperor’s spies during WWII...

The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.
On Thursday, Maier told a congressional committee that the Defense Department is “actively looking into whether all law and policy was properly followed in granting my chief of staff top secret special compartmented information.”

Why is this not treason?
Obama is clearly getting the intelligence from mentally ill or mentally weak Joe Biden which he then passes over to known Iranian asset Valerie Jarrett...
This other poor lady is probably just the fall guy,The patsy.
The real culprit is probably Valerie Jarrett and by extension Barak Hussein Obama
Then charge her and then fire her
Why in tarnation does the U.S. have Israeli secret war plans? Sounds like bull s**t.
So Israel sends their secret war plans to the U.S., where half those in D.C. hate Israel.
Who’s idea was this?
If she did this, she committed an act of high treason.
20 years in prison?
I'm not buying it. Bibi is too smart to do something like this. Unless it was fake.
Patton was supposed to lead a "fake army" to invade Calais. The Nazis were preparing to defend Calais, rather than Normandy.
Maybe it was just an Israeli trick.. to root out the Iranian spies at the Pentagon?
She looks like an Iranian building jumper.
Can we please hire some people we can trust?
The government has hired thousands of these people. (Anyone but white American males)
Why are American spy satellites spying on Israel?
Not the country, the DEMOCRATS!
The Democrats are a bunch of clowns who do real damage to this country. Anyone who votes for them is a dope and doesn’t care about this country or American citizens.
She was following orders from the Jihad Junta running everything with the enablers in the Congressional Leadership.
