The CIA Analyst and Traitor Who Leaked Israel's Military Plans to Iran Pleads Guilty in Court

Diversity is our strength.

The Cultural Enrichment is just exquisite.

A former CIA analyst pleaded guilty Friday to leaking information on a planned Israeli attack on Iran.

Asif Rahman, 34, was arrested by the FBI in November weeks after classified documents appeared on the Telegram messaging app.

He entered guilty pleas in federal court in Virginia to two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information related to the national defense, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Rahman, a CIA employee since 2016, abused his access to top-secret information by printing out documents related to Israel so that he could take them home. He reproduced them and altered them as a way to cover his tracks, prosecutors say, then leaked top-secret documents to people not authorized to receive them.

Two documents that surfaced on Telegram in October, attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, noted 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.

Israel carried out a retaliatory attack on air defense systems and missile manufacturing facilities in Iran in late October. In court papers, the government has said the leak caused Israel to delay its attack plans.

I bet the feds agreed to a sweetheart deal.

In related Deep State News: the Very Special Agent who announced that the obvious terrorist attack was not a terrorist attack has been "reassigned."

She's being detailed to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Nose-Rings.

The FBI assistant special agent in charge who told the media and the public the New Orleans attack was "not a terrorist event" has been reassigned, Fox News has learned.

Multiple sources tell Fox News that FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan has been temporarily reassigned following her initial press conference in which she stated: "This is not a terrorist event."

It was terrorism.

After the original presser, the FBI put out a statement using the word "terrorism." Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Biden also used the word "terrorism" in their statements.

No other details were offered about Duncan's new position, but she is still with the FBI.

The FBI declined to comment.

Although I think the nose-ring is disqualifying -- what happened to the professional men in Brooks Brothers' suits? -- and of course she obviously Didn't Earn It, I think she's getting a bad rap.

This is the FBI's claim in every obvious case of terrorism, at least when the terrorism is committed by an Islamist or leftist. They immediately declare it "workplace violence" or, as in the case of Congress softball shooter, just an attempt at "suicide by cop" that happened to coincidentally involve shooting seven Republican congressmen.

She is following the corrupt, criminal FBI's policy of gaslighting the American people about terrorism. This isn't her policy (though doubtless she supports it).

This is James Comey's policy. This is Christopher Wray's policy.

She just lied and gaslit like they instructed her to do.

This is absolutely crazy

Asif Rahman, Yale Grad from 2013

Leaked extreme intel around Israel's plans to attack Iran's missile networks

He did this as a CIA analyst against one of America's top allies

There is something deeply broken in the Ivy League
