FBI investigating whether departed counterterrorism official leaked classified info, AP source says

Retaliation, it's called retaliation.

Meanwhile some politician, I hear, had a whole bathroom full of classified documents. I do believe it was in Florida. Please investigate.

You mean like when Kegsbreath leaked airstrike information on Signal and no one did a f****** thing about it?

Retaliation is on par for this fascist regime. Also the only thing he's said is that Iran wasn't a threat to the US. So if that's releasing classified information, prosecuting him is an admission that this war is illegal.

The same FBI that dropped the ball regarding classified documents being stored next to a Mar-a-lago bar? The same FBI that ignored signalgate? The same FBI that left classified data on the internet related to my DoD whistle-blower complaint.

Question. I understand that the FBI needs to investigate if there's been a possibility that classified info had been leaked, but is the evidence they have comparable to multiple boxes of highly classified files kept in a poorly secured and fairly easily accessible bathroom? And what possible punishment should be given in comparison considering the other person didn't even get a finger wag?

Next they'll be saying "It's not the counterrorism office's job to counter terrorism."

And yet the very well known leaks from hegseth are fine and dandy.

This is McCarthyism on crack and PCP

According to Johnson, this official wasn't even in the meetings and had no intel, which is why they told us to dismiss his accusations and reasons for quitting.

Even the white supremacists aren’t safe anymore

Actually, the legal term is vindictive prosecution.

This is gonna be funny. If they charge him with releasing classified info, they have to admit his statements are true and that Trump lied about Iran. They also have to admit they classified Trump's lies and were protecting him and deceiving congress. They'd also have to find a way to legally justify classifying that Iran is NOT weeks away from having a nuclear bomb, because that's the opposite of a threat to the American people and the government isn't allowed to just classify anything they like.

administration's mad this guy quit

I know people are going to say it’s retribution. But anyone who has ever listened to or watch Joe Kent during his run for congress would know he is completely batshit insane. The fact he got a job at all is beyond me. None of this is surprising.

Great plan by the White House Let’s try to defame an insider who is speaking the TRUTH, yet Trump is trying to do this to protect his reputation. King Donald is a DICTATOR in sheep’s clothing

Patel is a F****** Moron and a US Traitor

More thorough than the Epstein investigation

Like, did he keep boxes of classified info in his bathroom ?

Looking forward to seeing this administration all in handcuffs, hopefully before they flee to Moscow.

Yep! That's a cult. You are not free to leave the cult without suffering retaliation from its members.

It’s wild that the official line is “Joe Kent is an antisemitic crook and has been for a long time, but apparently none of that mattered when he was director of counter terrorism and only matters now when he’s resigning”

Oh no Joe Kunt you crossed the pedo rapist mafia boss.

Did Trump have classified documents in a busted bathroom in r*** mansion? Yes, yes he did. F*** Aileen Cannon Don't f*** her please. She looks like a potato.

ie: revenge for him speaking out. Send a message to others that speaking the truth will result in punishment

This is ironic consider Trump stole more classified information and sold it to third parties than literally anyone else in American history.

Funny how this "administration" (if it's even deserving of this dignified of a word) always turns on their former members the moment they fall out of favor. Sounds exactly like some shit organized crime does.

🙄 Donald kept classified info in his f****** bathroom. Shove it fbi.

I don’t know for a fact but I just know that America is just setting up for the next 911/107 level event. Piss off every “terrorist” country? Check. Put the dumbest, most unqualified goofs to oversee federal agencies? Check. Realigning the media to make sure nobody will challenge the governments narratives? Check. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a World Cup coming up real soon. Wake up people.

Too bad the FBI director is as useless as a piss scented air freshener

Weaponizing the doj. Again.

The fact that Iran WASN’T going to attack us was classified

Trump administration is acting like a dictator. Criticize or leave Trump and he will get you arrested.

Yeah! Why not? Let's investigate anyone who clearly says this is NOT our war!

More blatant intimidation tactics by this administration

They have to make an example out of him, otherwise the whole rotten house of cards will collapse.

“Leaked classified info” uh, like Kegsbreath did and nothing happened? Right……

Yeah, c'mon, man, the only person who gets to leak classified info is donnie himself.

Here we go... I just said the other day to expect some kind of retribution for quitting his job and disagreeing with the premise for the Iran War. Now he's "under investigation". It's a message to anyone else in the administration as well if they dare to question the Supreme Leader.

This was clearly Biden’s fault.

Honestly, who is surprised? Straight of the Trump retaliation manual.

You admitted Israel is controlling Trump! That’s Classified!

America's government is failing.

They are desperate to find scapegoats.

But they won't investigate the f****** epstein files.

Lol, do not feel bad for that dude at all. This regime is f****** disgusting.

This is insane, we have so many examples of him doing this, wtf

This kind of behavior- targeting those you don't agree with usually happen in autocratic third world countries.

Like he put classified files in his hotel bathroom in Florida while foreign dignitaries were purchasing access? Cause that would be considered treason. Right? Right?!

Of course they are. I did think Donald was way too nice after he left. His handlers must have corrected him.

This is a costly dog & pony show. This should already be done & dusted. When people who have handled sensitive or classified materials leave or even switches areas/ specialties, on the regular an audit is done. Seriously, there are literal librarians keeping an eye on sensitive & classed materials movement across the nation & the globe. Keep in mind there are always people overseeing the release of any intel in a myriad of ways. That why any congressional member is going to SCIF(s) to view the Trump-Epstein files. That’s how the government knew that the orange idiot had stuff tucked away & where to raid in the first place. That’s how they knew he leaned on Ukraine for nonexistent Intel. That’s why it’s known that sensitive, classed info on assets were released to Russia (well that & the sudden mysterious loss of longtime, key assets across the globe) likely by the same fool. This is all known & the audits (aka investigation) are already done for the coward in question. They knew before he even left for his last day if he leaked or not. Audits & oversight are constant even in this fucked up admin. They’d love to rid themselves of audits but then they couldn’t weaponize them at will. The problem is this admin always has to bring a dog & bullhorn to what should be a simple audit review (yes, an audit of the audit.) If they had even a smidge of proof they’d send in the dogs & he’d be snatched up. Instead the dogs are nosing around in already covered territory while the bullhorn is screaming about investigation to the masses. It’s beyond ridiculous & make the US look inept.

The cult is at it again. You get jumped in, you get jumped out. Oh I meant gang. The cult is a violent street gang.

Doesnt it seem funny anyone who doesnt agree with the current admin mist be crooked in some way. People , companies, news outlets, tv hosts.

"The president is being manipulated by those around him to start a war for their own profit!" "Ummmm. That was classified, hello??"

Are they saying that saying Iran wasn’t a threat was classified info

Everyone in the admin has leaked/stolen/erased classified info.

Sure, he speaks out against the administration and this is the result.

Another case of the FBI doing everything possible to investigate and prosecute anyone who disagrees with Trump. While rich and famous people through the Epstein files who committed horrific crimes against children are still walking around. How about we start with investigating those that r*** girls and torture them possibly murder them too according to what I have seen.

This is why you would have to be a lunatic to work for trump

Eating their own. This is exactly why Congress is paralyzed.

Who would have guessed that they'd try to burn him and immediately discredit him.

FBI should be investigating the pedophile rapist instead of this guy...

I'm sure Big Brother will be gentle. Ministry of Love and all that.

The FBI is completely compromised and has been for a while now, even before Trump. It's being used as an extension of the Executive Branch which is bad for all of us.

Who cares, we’re not holding officials accountable for anything these days anyway. F*** it!

Bro's about to get the John Kiriakou treatment for simply opening his mouth.

"He made us look stupid so now we have to find a way to prosecute him and make HIM look like the traitor"

“FBI Investigating” now means “Patel searching for whatever Trump wants to hear.”

They are so dumb. This guy is a total a****** but he's an angry total a****** and he can say literally anything in a deposition.

I mean the guys a piece of shit and he worked for Trump no one at all should feel like this dude quitting was an act of heroism dudes scum they all are anyone who works for Trump if they have their lives turned upside down through Petty retaliation you won't see me shed a tear. But get ready to see this bumbling f*** turn around going on CNN and Fox News and saying Trump's a danger and all the bad things he's doing behind the scenes putting himself in a position to look like a whistleblowing hero and the cherry on top is he'll write a big old book take the bag and run off into the sunset like all these little roaches do.

If the FBI is investigating, then the target must have upset a Republican. That agency has proven itself time and again to be corrupt beyond redemption, along with the Department of "Justice." Now, they serve as the Republicans' primary defense of the perpetrators of the Trump-Epstein child sex trafficking network, while working to oppress political opposition with threats, and likely more that we may never learn about. Conservatives truly are evil.

In other words....Anyone that tells the "truth" is consider a "leak" from their lies

Investigating and eventually arresting critics of state leadership is right out of Putin's playbook.

If you're not fire and leave on your own volition we will destroy you.

case dismissed: everyone already knew that the president is a moron, no actual leak occurred

Nofux. All these nut jobs deserve each other and everything they got comin.

Right, because *nobody knew the war with Iran is illegal.*

A threat to all other administration officials, if you think about resigning this will happen to you

FBI to investigate the potential that a Trump official actually told the truth.

The truth is classified. You must lie at all times in this administration.

Lol!! Right. This administration is gonna investigate against itself hahahahahahahhahaaha. Funniest thing I heard. Wait till the presidency is over. If that.

Patel only ever has to do any work when they need to frame somebody lol

So he is gonna get the John Kirkarou treatment.

Classified info as in a attempted false flag event ?

Do not believe any information coming from the current administration.

Ohh, he spoke badly of our leader, now we need to make trumped up charges for him.

He spoke out and now they want his blood.

"Leaked classified info". That's rich...

It’s just terrible to leave and tell the truth. Trump hates the truth because he is a pathological liar

Hysterical they need to investigate their own now that he’s quit.

They should be investigating current officials for classified leaks and treason

AP needs to stop carrying water for corrupt ideologues spreading false accusations against honorable public employees

Now they care about this? Not when their War Master sends info directly to a journalist by accident on Signal? Nothing was ever done about that btw.

The AP is compromised.

MAGA eats its own in a heartbeat. Trump takes his one way loyalty seriously🤣.

Wonder if he still feels the same now.

Gotta keep those other rats in line. You think you can leave this regime without consequences? Think again.

Man, you can only push a man so far before you break them, dont be surprised if you get cut after you break them

They know damn well he didn’t! He hurt the little orange man’s feelings so he must be investigated smh.

Of course they are. Truly incredible that this pedophile pile of shit has been able to collect so many corrupt incompetent spineless moron idiots to carry out his dirty work for him .

Didn’t a Signal chat leak?

At least he didn’t stack the files in his bathroom
