Obama’s nominee for Pentagon post implicated in alleged theft of CIA documents
FOX News ^ | December 24, 2014 | Jake Gibson, James Rosen

Posted on 12/24/2014 7:01:50 AM PST by maggief

The Obama administration's nominee for a senior legal position at the Pentagon is one of the congressional staffers accused by Republicans and intelligence officials of stealing classified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency, Fox News has learned -- and the controversy could imperil her shot at a major career promotion.

Sources on Capitol Hill and in the intelligence community say Alissa Starzak, a majority staffer on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) who has been nominated for the position of general counsel to the U.S. Army, is one of two SSCI employees accused by the panel's Republicans, and by career intelligence officers, of having "stolen" the so-called Panetta Review: a classified study of the agency's treatment of detainees prepared by former CIA Director Leon Panetta.

Document theft was a career enhancer for Sandy Burglar when he worked for Clinton. Soon there won’t be a market for stolen documents if Obummer just gives them to our enemies.

Bauer? Interesting...

“An official review board chaired by former Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., has also concluded CIA employees did not improperly monitor the work of the SSCI staffers. A memorandum, signed by Bayh and obtained by Fox News, stated that “no disciplinary action is warranted” against any agency employees in connection with the case. Robert Bauer, a former White House counsel under President Obama, also served on the review board, whose findings are soon to be transmitted to top CIA officials.”

President Barack Obama has announced his intention to nominate Alissa M. Starzak as general counsel of the Army, Department of Defense. Starzak is currently deputy general counsel (legislation) at the Department of Defense, a position she has held since 2011. Previously, she served as counsel and a professional staff member on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and as assistant general counsel at the Central Intelligence Agency.

A graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, Starzak was an associate at O’Melveny & Myers and a law clerk for The Honorable Judge E. Grady Jolly on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit earlier in her career.

This would be in line with the Marxist's philosophy of infiltrating American institutions.
These people are enemy spies, not absent minded public servants.
