So Barbara Ledeen, able to access classified at her job, is super friend of Ginni Thomas...
...and Michael Flynn....and the deep potential for impropriety continues.

A little background on the Ledeens.
Barbara Ledeen is a conservative political operative with, according to The Forward, “ties to right-wing pro-Israel circles” (10/27/06). In the 1980’s and 1990’s she worked as a Defense department assistant and then a Senate aide, and started to conduct agitprop. She was a vocal critic of Anita Hill and, in the wake of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, a co-founder of the anti-feminist, Scaife-funded “Independent Women’s Forum.” She was a defender of Paula Jones and chair of “The Coalition to Free Elian.” She split with the IWF group and worked for The Israel Project, and at the same time was an advisor the Santorum campaign.
Her husband Michael Ledeen is a failed academic who was an early adopter of the style of lunatic anti-Muslim conspiracy theories that were later to become all the rage. His history Ph.D and partisan zealotry made him invaluable to the to the Reagan and Cheney administrations, where he was involved with both the Iran-Contra affair and the Niger uranium forgeries. Today he is a vocal hawk whose only remaining passion in life appears to be the desire to invade Iran.
And did I mention they are close friends with Michael Flynn? That Michael Ledeen co-authored The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies with Michael Flynn? That the Ledeens introduced Flynn to Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who is also implicated in covering up Russian interference and who began the ‘un-masking’ charade?
