US National Counterterrorism Center director resigns over war in Iran

[Maxmars]

It's like you really shouldn't expect excellence from "political" appointments...
only the imagery...

There is a surrender required to be in such a role... which few have the metal to endure well.

And since "media" tells us all about them... in the end it's their consensus craft-work we are told we believe...

I propose we need a free press... not activism LARPing for hire... it's now an apparent impossibility...
by strictly enforced human codes of conduct.

Anybody counting how many talking heads found media engagement on this?

And so it begins.

The FBI is investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent in connection with alleged leaks of classified information, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell CBS News.  
The probe began before Kent resigned this week over the Trump administration's handling of the war with Iran, the sources said. Such cases are usually handled by the FBI's Counterintelligence Division. 

Sure, its unnamed sources, but I have been expecting this from the outset. Because that's how you treat your subjects that get out of line.

Such a common DNC headline and clickbait trope...

Disgruntled MAGA whistleblower tells all...



Hell, Schiff's done it atleast twice himself

do a new bit, FFS

The politician-class and their ilk are trapped within the confines of their theater.

The song's are always the same, the 'format' is predictable and rote...

We have been watching a stage play.

I have issues with the producers, writers, and directors...

But wait, there's more. Not to be outdone by unnamed sources, officials, and administration officials have weighed in. Joe Kent has been under investigation by the FBI for weeks.

After Kent’s resignation, officials said he had been under FBI investigation for weeks for allegedly leaking classified information.
 
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was unaware of the probe, a senior intelligence official told Fox News Digital Thursday. 
 
Administration officials also told Fox News Kent had been cut out of planning meetings for the current Iran mission, known as Operation Epic Fury, as well as the president’s daily briefings.
Kent’s resignation, now shadowed by the FBI investigation into alleged leaks, has placed a once-rising figure in Trump’s orbit at the center of a growing clash over the administration’s Iran strategy, the use of intelligence in military decision-making, and internal tensions within the national security team.

As usual, Tulsi was unaware of everything.
