Leading Republicans reveal allegations on why Biden envoy to Iran was suspended
BLUF:
[Washington Examiner] "Specifically, we understand that Mr. Malley’s security clearance was suspended because he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone," the letter, signed by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX) and Senate Foreign Affairs ranking member Jim Risch (R-ID), read. "It is unclear to whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information."
But, but, but Hillary ?
Robert Malley began his career during the Clinton administration and earned his name as the architect of former President Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal. He attempted to revive the deal in 2021 under Biden to no avail. He was suspended in April 2023.

Emphasis added.

David Barnea smiles, as a sensitive US project is suddenly terminated.

#3  He will spend no time in jail. His actions were likely sanctioned and discovered by (hostile cyber actor) Mossad. Better we terminate the project than read about it in Haaretz or the Times of Israel.

Just a guess.

#4 ^^^^
? I get Burn Bags but won't the real culprit evidence will be the air-gaped laptops and the encrypted thumb-drives that couriers move in and out of the residence! I wonder if there is a high capacity electro-magnet "car-wash" in a Faraday cage somewhere close-by, because that would be telling.
