The problem is we have no way of knowing if the leakers are just deep state scumbags trying to undermine Trump or legitimate good guys who are realists and sick of the politicization of intel and gaslighting about this conflict.

“ We have yet to establish that they were a threat to the United States”.(quote PMan).

$10/gallon gas would definitely affect the US via world economic collapse which will happen if the Strait is closed and run by the Jihadist. For starters the Dems would take over Congress and that alone means that the Mullahs take down this Nation from within. Dems would open the border to another ten million Muslims.

Trump will be forced to take out the IRGC. Soon. Whatever it takes.

If you're going to post some gotcha article from her March 18th testimony, no. Because she in no way said Iran was not an imminent threat. No matter how much you (or the msm) spin it.

I watched the entire testimony myself. I don't need a media "assessment" made to fit a particular narrative. She was very clear in what she said.

Or, as usual, columnists who make up bullshite and claim they have connections in the administration when they simply sat down and hammered out another gossip column.

We pretty much do, based on who they leaked to. Anyone who actual cares isn't going to leak to the Washington Post. Now if you have a political narrative to push, WaPo is your one stop shop.

I don't know about WaPo, but whenever you see something from Natasha Bertrand of CNN or Ken Dilanian of MSNOW, they are pushing an intel agency agenda.

Hmmm, where have I heard this before??

I wonder if they were a part of the Intelligence officials who said that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation?

In March, she was also very clear in what she DID NOT say…. She would not go on record saying there was an imminent threat.

She did go on record and say the Iranian regime had made no efforts to try to rebuild their enrichment capability since Operation Midnight Hammer.

That testimony contradicts Trump’s claim that if we didn’t hit them within two weeks they would have had a nuclear weapon.

What do you have that says otherwise?

Actually is not relevant to (the stated reasons for) the current war.

This does not equal to Iran not being a threat.

So when iran tells negotiators they have 460 Kilograms of uranium enriched 60% it's to be ignored?

Ignored? No. Believed? A different story.
