A trove of leaked Pentagon documents were circulating online for months without being discovered by the U.S. government — raising questions about how the administration missed them.
Images of the classified documents that circulated on social media in recent days were posted to a popular messaging website as far back as January. But they appear to have only caught the government’s attention around the time they were first reported in the media in early April. “No one in the U.S. government knew they were out there,” one U.S. official said. As to why they didn’t: “We cannot answer that just yet,”

The US government was preoccupied with monitoring right of center memes
Meanwhile, a post midnight article drop from the NY Times: "New Leaked Documents Show Broad Infighting Among Russian Officials." They’re still finding serious documents.

They knew the documents were there, it's just they were looking for a way to blame President Trump.

Why didn’t the U.S. notice leaked documents? Nobody looked. All DC people cared about was hiding the crazy carp Biden was spewing between Delaware and Washington. Besides, there was no money in the documents for the Big Guy.

They didn't notice because the words "red pilled, Chad and Based" were not included in any of the documents nor was there any reference to the traditional Latin Mass.

Joey Baby's administration is incompetent, period, no joke. It's the administration that can't shoot straight. Guided by an individual who has no clue what he is doing. Led by a Justice Department that is deaf, dumb and blind as a bat. IOWs we are totally f*(*ed, period, no joke.

If they can destroy the military, they can destroy any and everything. Where are the stand-up military members? Are they cowering in a corner afraid for their careers? What careers? Are they all crooked? Where are the whistleblowers? I guess I can cut them some slack on that one; we have a Congress that does nothing but hold hearings, aka talk-talk with no teeth.

The Supreme Court identified the leaker of the abortion ruling and everybody knows it. But Chief Justice Roberts did not disclose who did it because the leaker worked for a leftist Justice. I expect the same outcome in this “investigation.”

"Why the U.S. didn’t notice leaked documents circulating on social media"...answer: Because they were too busy spying on Catholic churches looking for "terrorists".

No doubt the agencies will call for sweeping new powers to monitor online content.

There appears more to blame than just the leaker. Seems like the government was asleep at the wheel for months. Does anyone within the Biden administration know how to do their job or do they care?

China, don't bother to attack. Just wait a bit longer and then you can simply take what you want.
We won't be in any position to stop you.
