Counterterrorism official in the Trump administration, Joe Kent, resigned. He marked his departure by blaming Israel for the Iran War. He said he left due to his personal convictions and opposition to the war. However, there is more to the story.
According to anchor and White House correspondent for Fox News, Aishah Hasnie, a senior administration official tells FOX that Joe Kent was:
a known leaker and was cut out of POTUS intelligence briefings months ago.
The WH told DNI Tulsi Gabbard he should be fired for suspected leaks, but she never did.
He has not been part of any Iran planning discussions or briefings at all.
Allegedly, he was forced out. If true, that is a sad turn of events. He could be prosecuted, and they might have to do it.
According to Buzz Patterson, "there’s more to the Joe Kent story than meets the eye. According to friends, apparently, Joe leaked intelligence under the nose of the Secretary of War. As a result, his access to classified information was removed several weeks ago. He’s not stepping down due to his allegiance."
According to Erick Erikson, and we checked this information, there’s a rule in conservative politics that a man is rarely to the right of his wife. Joe Kent lost his first wife in war and remarried a woman who now works for a far-left anti-Israel, pro-Iran website. Kent should have never been appointed to anything in the Trump administration.
Joey Jones added, citing "multiple sources, including the @PressSec, Joe Kent has not received classified briefings in months because they suspect he has been leaking. I have no idea if that’s true, and I like Joe. But if he doesn’t have access to information used to make the decision used to make the decision to commence Epic Fury his statement doesn’t hold much weight."

"Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work. He spent all of his time working to subvert the chain of command and undermine the President of the United States. This isn’t some principled resignation—he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned. What a loser."
Crushing Israel’s biggest enemy is upsetting many!
Loose Lips Kent
A friggin’ DemonRAT leaker. One of Brennan’s boyz.
They wouldn’t like my ties either. Some are too wide, others too narrow. They are all of conservative colors, but I don’t know what people think of some of the patterns.
Why do so many people hate Jews?????
Envy.
The other bit to keep in mind is that (besides marrying a new wife who literally works for a pro-Iran news outfit), Joe Kent’s first wife — a CIA operative — was killed by ISIS in Syria.
For whatever reason, Kent went full Roger Waters in response to her death and blamed the Jews for ISIS killing her.
(The Nazis killed the dad of Roger Waters — of Pink Floyd — in Dunkirk in France during WWII. Waters had a miserable childhood, chronicled in “The Wall” and — for whatever reason — blamed “the Jews” for his father’s death.)
“ that a man is rarely to the right of his wife”
You guys don’t get out much, huh?
I’m thinking it’s the giant penises.
So big G-d demanded a bit be taken off.
He was a registered Democrat or Libertarian for nine years, then Republican since 2021.
He’s a lib.
remarried a woman who now works for a far-left anti-Israel, pro-Iran website.
Crushing the Worlds greatest enemy.
The only ones upset about Iran are those who profited from Iran.
China, North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan and key members of the USA congress.
That certainly seems to have been the case with Ted Olsen and George Conway.

If you read the article carefully the claim that Kent was a source of intelligence leaks has not been from any named government officials. That a Fox News WH correspondent was told so by a “a senior administration official” is not confirmation of that claim. For one thing I would expect Trump to take direct action against anyone who leaked sensitive information. I doubt he would need Gabbard to act as a middleman.
So I will wait till more info from named reliable verifiable sources comes out. Which it very well may.
No idea. It is seems to be because “everyone else is doing it.” You know, all the cool kids
Did he wear a Clip-On?
Huh? Men are rarely to the right of their wives?
More men vote Republican than women do, by far.
My wife is great, but I am likely more to the right, in most things.
why did he wait 2 and a half weeks to resign, should resigned immediately...
