They Said It! Democrat Senator: Obama White House Behind National Security Leaks

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): Obama White House Behind National Security Leaks

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): “I Think The White House Has To Understand That Some Of This Is Coming From Its Ranks. I Don’t Know Specifically Where, But I Think They Have To Begin To Understand That And Do Something About It.” SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN: “I am aware of that, I think that’s a correct analysis. I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. I don’t know specifically where, but I think they have to begin to understand that and do something about it. I mean, there’s one book they can read and they’ll see it very clearly. And I think that should be the case. I think you know what the president actually knows about this is difficult because with respect to intelligence he is in a bubble. He has his daily brief, called the PDB, the President’s Daily Brief, early every morning. And so he gets briefing from intelligence I don’t believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it, I don’t believe the briefers go out and talk about it, but who knows who else. And I think that the importance of this has to be really set by the president himself. And hopefully he will do it, and I think he’ll most likely read the book and see it himself.” (World Affairs Council, Washington, DC, 7/23/12)
