CIA employee pleads guilty to leaking classified intel on Israel’s plans to strike Iran
|

Throw the book at him. The little pipsqueak dared arrogate to himself decisions about America’s foreign policy and Israel’s survival!
Update: I’m told he got 6.5 years, which is absurd if true. This seems exactly the thing the new Trump guy should take an interest in. [IsraelTimes] Asif William Rahman admits he illegally downloaded, printed and distributed classified information on several occasions; sentencing is scheduled for May
A CIA employee accused of leaking classified documents about Israel’s plans to strike Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
pleaded guilty on Friday to criminal charges that he willfully retained and transmitted national defense information, the US Department of Justice said.
In pleading guilty, Asif William Rahman, who worked at the US intelligence agency since 2016, acknowledged that he illegally downloaded, printed and distributed classified information on multiple occasions, including several in 2024.
In the spring of 2024, he printed five documents that were labeled as secret and top secret from his work computer and took them home, court records in the case said. He then reproduced and altered them and shared them with people who were not legally entitled to receive them. To hide his conduct, Rahman deleted his activity from his electronic devices, brought the records back to work and had them shredded.
A second time, in the autumn of 2024, the court filings said he printed another 10 documents with a top-secret classification, took them home, and shared them with others.
Then on Oct. 17, 2024, he printed two more documents related to plans by a US ally to strike a foreign adversary, the court records said.
Those documents, which entailed plans by Israel to strike Iran, later appeared online after a pro-Iranian Telegram account called "Middle East Spectator" published them. The strikes on Iranian military sites came in response to the Islamic Theocratic Republic ’s ballistic missile barrage on Israel on October 1.
The documents, attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, noted that Israel was moving military assets in place to conduct its military strike, based on satellite imagery from October 15-16.
They were shareable within the "Five Eyes," an intelligence alliance comprised of the US, Great Britannia, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
The case was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Rahman, 34, is from Vienna, Virginia, and was arrested in Cambodia, according to court records. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 15.
| Update the second from X at 9:40 a.m. ET: |
…with two counts of sharing sensitive national security information, Rahman faces up to 20 years in prison.
Despite the maximum sentence, both sides have reportedly agreed to a plea deal of 6.5 years, which could be reduced further due to his admission of guilt. Prosecutors allege Rahman acted out of ideological motives and warned of the risk that he could leak additional classified documents.
