Boner Boy leaked classified information, government officials say.


From Raw Story:

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) disclosed what government officials say was classified information when trying to defend President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program Tuesday on Fox News Channel.

"There's been a ruling, over the last four or five months, that prohibits the ability of our intelligence services and our counterintelligence people from listening in to two terrorists in other parts of the world where the communication could come through the United States," Boehner remarked.

After leaking a secret foreign intelligence surveillance court ruling, Boehner went on to describe what he thought the ruling meant.

"This means that our intelligence agencies are missing a wide swath of potential information that could help protect the American people," he said. "The Democrats have known about this for months. We have had private conversations, we have had public conversations that this needs to be fixed. And Republicans are not going to leave this week until this problem is addressed."

The leak comes as a favorable one for President Bush. Two officials "privy to the details confirmed that his remarks concerned classified information," according to an article in Friday's Washington Post.

A federal intelligence court (FISA) judge secretly ruled earlier this year that the administration's wiretapping of communications between two countries overseas that are passed between the United States were illegal, according to the Post. After Boehner's leak, two other government officials confirmed the story to the paper.

And the knucklehead leaked classified info on Faux Noose of all places... And where is the investigation into Boner boy?

SPB Boner is only it this for the money. He got Hammer's job and now his pockets are being lined with money. As for the leak if that's what it takes to keep the corrupt money coming to Boner so be it. Boner has no other way to keep that tan, nails polished and hair doe. Now if he has to lie/cheat/steal/cry or anything else because for Boner it's all about the money. As you notice we have troops dying every day yet the GOP isn't interested in that only the money they get for following orders of the White House Mafia.
