The Biden administration is looking at expanding how it monitors social media sites and chatrooms after U.S. intelligence agencies failed to spot classified Pentagon documents circulating online for weeks, according to a senior administration official and a congressional official briefed on the matter.
The possible change in the intelligence-gathering process is just one potential shift as officials scramble to determine not only how the documents leaked but also how to prevent another damaging incident.
President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin were briefed about the disclosure last week, administration officials say, but the secret documents appeared online in early March on the Discord social media app, according to Bellingcat, the open-source investigative group. Some documents may have appeared as early as January, the group said.
The president and other officials were dismayed when they learned the documents had been online for at least a month.

yeah, that’ll help ... much quicker in identifying when the horse got out of the opened barn door ... of course, that means the horse DID already get out ... seems like it would be much better to figure out how to keep the barn door shut so the horse didn’t get out in the first place ... sigh, and all of those tens of billions spent in identifying when the horse got out instead of keeping the bard door shut ...
Never let a manufactured “crisis” called, go to waste.

They will ask for more money to monitor everything and both parties will approve it. The opposite of "lean and mean."
RESPONSIBLE INTELLIGENCE ARE ...FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES...
MISSING IN ACTION.
Let’s face it, they are ACTIVISTS more than PATRIOTS.
Ping. You were right.
That's the smoking gun.
He didn't.
Timing couldn't be more obvious. They won't say "We don't have time to read it." They will just ignore the evil parts.
Add heuristics like "gun," "constitution," "rights," to the AI, make convictions easier, and ask for more money.
Yup, some of the pictures show a background of his home’s granite countertop.
I mean, he didn’t take them off the base.
One of those documents was a CIA eyes only document which was never on no base.

He’s a cutout. Whether he knows or not remains unclear, so far.
