An ex-CIA analyst was sentenced to more than three years in prison Wednesday for leaking top secret documents about Israel’s plans to retaliate against Iran last year.
Asif William Rahman, 34, had pleaded guilty in January to two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information after he was arrested for absconding with records from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency last October that indicated Israel was planning to launch airstrikes in response to a massive Iranian missile attack.
Rahman, who had been a CIA employee since 2016 and had access to top secret documents, leaked the stolen information on social media platforms — forcing Israel to delay its attack.
He was sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison by US District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, which is less than the government had demanded.

Does the CIA not properly vet its employees?
3 years!
He’ll be back on the streets in 18 months, I bet...
Back in the day, when this was still a semblance of the original Republic, he would have gotten 20-30 years of hard time...
DEI sure lowered the quality of people who work for these top secret agencies. The crap they hire can’t get a voter I.D. but they sure as hell can get a background check.
“Asif William Rahman”...there’s a clue.
Or even executed.
Same last name (sorta) as the Blind Sheik of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing
Omar Abdel-Rahman
CIA recruiter: "Do you hate America, Freedom, the Constitution and especially Christians?"
Achmed: "I sure do!"
CIA recruiter: "Welcome aboard!"
Asif Rahman? No need to vet him, he’s an obviously peaceable Amish
He saved countless lives that time. He will cost more lives as Israel must use more bombs next time.
He got off easy. 😣
IN THE 38th MONTH===HE IS A DEAD MAN WALKING

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.
The documents are attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, and note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the “Five Eyes,” which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
The documents, which are marked top secret, were posted to the Telegram messaging app and first reported Saturday by CNN and Axios. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
