DNI Tulsi Gabbard referred two intelligence leakers to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. It’s the only way to stop it. People seem to lack the same ethics they once appeared to have.
Gabbard, 44, alleged that one of the individuals handed classified material to The Washington Post, and the other provided sensitive information to The New York Times.
“A third criminal referral is on its way,” Gabbard said in an announcement Wednesday, accusing the third alleged leaker of illegally sending material to the Washington Post.
The specific material that was leaked remains unclear.
Three is the number of DoD officials that Secretary Hegseth put on leave.
Top officials in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security have similarly launched internal investigations into leaks, with some officials musing about using polygraph tests to identify leakers.
The DNI chief convened a task force — the Director’s Initiative Group — earlier this month to examine ways to boost transparency within the intelligence community. Part of its mission is to go after unauthorized leaking of classified information.

Cabinet makes criminal referrals…Bondi ignores the criminal referrals. Very convenient.
Tell them don’t do it again, slap an ankle bracelet on them and send them to a White House function.
Bondi has a perfect record of ignoring every referral from Trump’s cabinet. Keep the referrals piling up on her. She must go, she is an obvious phony. She does not want any of those pesky cabinet members interfering with her agenda.
Leakers are supposed to be arrested with probable cause. She is violating her oath. She has ignored all of the leakers handed to her by Hegseth, Noem and Tulsi. This is not incompetence or bureaucratic delays, this is obstruction.
She sure is a cutey. But so is Blondi. You gotta hand it to Trump, the women in the administration are definitely easier on the eyes. I’m glad Tulsi escaped from the nut house. I hope she sends a clear message to would be traitors. Remember folks there is a big difference between a leaker and a whistleblower.
Those who break trust (and the law) by leaking should not only be prosecuted, but if proved guilty should be banned for life from working the the federal government. If the information leaked puts American lives at risk, they should be tried as traitors.
