Dianne Feinstein vents ire over 'avalanche of leaks'

In a televised interview Wednesday, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein repeatedly vented her ire over leaks of classified information and she signaled that she favors a more aggressive crackdown on those who are passing national security secrets to the press.

"What we're seeing...is an Anschluss, an avalanche of leaks. And it's very, very disturbing. You know, it's dismayed our allies. It puts American lives in jeopardy. It puts our nation's security in jeopardy," Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on CNN's "Situation Room" program. She said the Senate Intelligence Committee plans to meet Thursday morning with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to discuss the issue.

"Anschluss" does not mean "an avalanche of ideas"--it has a very specific meaning, ie uniting or the annexation of Austria to Germany in 1938. One of Hitler's first acts.

Leaks=”If we (0bama and cabal) can’t govern America, no one will”

Sounds like Germany, 1945.

Truly an odd choice of words. Feinstein is a smart lady; she doesn’t say things without thinking first.

She’s also one of the few Democrats who seems genuinely interested in defending the USA.

I usually get eyerolls when I say this, but for years I have actually admired Di Fi when it comes to her expertise on National Security. She does genuinely seem to care about keeping America secure. In every other way I practically despise her.
I know it makes no sense, so flame away.

What an odd word choice. You would think she’d know better.

No kind words for this lib that wants to take our guns.

She’s a snake in the grass, beware. The Dems are setting up to dump 0bama and recruit the Hildebeast.

Sounds like she’s ‘code word’ warning that Obama intends to seize power.

Her husband is a defense contractor, to whom she has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts.

If anyone cares about America’s National Security; they’re not going to be a Democrat.

She does know better.

Anschluss has a specific meaning and I believe Dianne is sending someone a message.

I agree - - I think that is why His Slickness is speaking out against his boy Obama. Big time RATS realize this guy is a loser. I believe more and more will jump ship in the coming weeks.

Her party is running the adminstration that is leaking and the Senate. She should quit whining and posturing since she could actually do something about it.

Perhaps the quote or transcript is wrong and she used the word ‘schuss’ instead.

I would like to believe that, however my suspicion is that she's likely feigning a bit of pro-American rhetoric, behaving as though this is an election year (and it is, for her.)

Then she must think Zero is about to annex Mexico or Canada.

Most likely Mexico, allowing the vast majority of illegal immigrants and former Mexicans of voting age to suddenly become US citizens and vote in November.

What a nightmare.

A “schuss of leaks” sounds plausible. An “Anschluss” is a horse of a different color.

I'm sure that she said exactly what she meant. Her use of that specific term couldn't have occurred as a slip-of-the-tongue.

I’m thinking she might have used some Yiddish expression not understood by the Journo-Lister from Politico.
