A whole file of classified documents leaked out of the Pentagon. The sound of brass has the five pointed hallways jingling like sleigh bells. It’s from all the medals flapping around, as generals jump up and down in anger. As Washington post writes, “the materials outline a wealth of information about the Ukrainian and Russian militaries, and include highly sensitive analyses about China and other nations.”
Ukraine file leaked
A file full of Ukrainian combat capabilities leaked out of the Pentagon and someone needs to go to jail, for a really long time, over it. This is a whole lot worse than when Reality Winner stuffed a single page down her pantyhose.
Merrick Garland and the Just Us Department are being trusted to “investigate the leak of classified Pentagon documents.” As soon as they get done with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
What we know so far is that the leaked file appears to “detail Ukraine’s combat capabilities, its potential vulnerabilities and NATO’s broad efforts to help repel Russia’s invasion.” The DOJ broke the bad news on Good Friday, April 7.
NEW: Leaked documents show Ukrainians have suffered far more fatalities than reported & Russians have suffered far less. And allegedly reveal the 🇺🇸 military plans to put boots on the ground in 🇺🇦.

Instantly, Joe Biden’s handlers went into overdrive racing “to determine how the material surfaced online and what value it may hold for the Kremlin.”
The carefully worded statement notes that the DOJ is “in communication with the Pentagon and had begun an investigation, but that it had no further comment.” They’re too stunned to say anything.
As the Post points out, “confirmation of the investigation came as senior U.S. officials realized the scope of leaked material was much more expansive than initially thought.” It seems that the Russians, Chinese, Iranians or all of the above got a good look at the whole supposedly secret file.
Dozens of documents
Even before the DOJ issued a formal statement, the Washington Post already had their hands on “dozens of what appeared to be photographs showing classified documents, dating to late February and early March, that range from worldwide intelligence briefings to tactical-level battlefield updates and assessments of Ukraine’s defense capabilities.”
Volodymyr Zelensky is hopping up and down like the Easter Bunny too. That file could cost him his war. Xi Jinping is grinning from ear to ear. Joe Biden is hoping it wasn’t Hunter who leaked the documents and that they didn’t come from his controversial secret stash.
The file totally outlines “information about the Ukrainian and Russian militaries.” Not only that, they also “include highly sensitive U.S. analyses about China and other nations.”
The NYT reports that the Pentagon is Investigating the Leak of classified NATO Materials

Even worse, “The materials also reference highly classified sources and methods that the United States uses to collect such information, alarming U.S. national security officials who have seen them.” It’s not good when the spooks are spooked.
Pentagon spokesunit Sabrina Singh issued a “brief statement” noting the matter “is under review.” In government speak that simply means “we lost the file.” When they say it’s “under active review,” that means they’re looking for it.
Ms. Singh “declined to address when officials first became aware of the leak, and how damaging the Biden administration considers the disclosure to be.” The only thing she could tell reporters grilling her about it was “the Pentagon has referred the matter to the Justice Department.” They might get around to it after they get done railroading President Donald Trump.
