YOU KNOW, STORIES LIKE THIS JUST GIVE CREDIBILITY TO CLAIMS THAT THE DEEP STATE IS ENGAGING IN LAWFARE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT: Probe clears pro-Trump Pentagon analyst, report withheld from defense team.

A confidential counterintelligence investigation cleared suspended Pentagon analyst Adam S. Lovinger on allegations of leaking data to the news media, but officials never told his defense team.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) examined Mr. Lovinger’s use of classified computer networks. In a 2018 report, the NCIS said its review “did not reveal any potential CI [counter intelligence] concerns,” according to a copy obtained by The Washington Times.

Mr. Lovinger’s attorney, Sean Bigley, has now filed a complaint with the Defense Department inspector general. He accuses Pentagon officials who targeted his client of a “serious ethics violation” by withholding the exoneration.

The NCIS probe was closed September 2018, and the report signed in November. Mr. Lovinger’s administrative trial began the next month.

Mr. Bigley is trying to convince the Pentagon IG that his client is a victim of whistleblower reprisal. Mr. Lovinger’s employer, the Pentagon Office of Net Assessment, accused him of mishandling “sensitive” material, a charge his lawyer said essentially is made up since there is no such classification.

There should be punishment for this.

BRIAN CATES: “If you’ve followed SpyGate from the beginning – and I have – then you know that it came out months ago via anonymous sources in news reports that all of Hillary Clinton’s St. Dept. emails were being automatically copied & sent to a Chinese-related email account. So what changed today? Documentation was released that verifies these anonymously sourced prior news accounts.”

THE ORIGINAL BULLITT MUSTANG IS HEADED TO AUCTION: “Mustang legend Ken Marti told us ‘I won’t be surprised if the kind of offer Sean [Kiernan, the owner] gets will be the highest ever offer for a Mustang.’ Since our interview with Marti, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake sold for $2.2 million. It’s easy to imagine this one selling for more. After all, it’s arguably the most iconic Mustang of them all, and it was driven by a legend in one of the greatest car-chase scenes in movie history.”
