Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 7, p. 214. Written by Dustin J. Carmack.

Fire suspected leakers and strip their pensions

The document says “shouldWho acts: DNI, CIAHow: internal managementp. 214 in the PDF
What the document says

“The ODNI and CIA should fire or refer for prosecution any employee who is suspected of leaking information, and penalties should include the removal of pension benefits”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 214

The penalty applies to those found guilty. The chapter also asks that staff under investigation not be allowed to retire before internal investigations are complete, and that the Justice Department use all its tools to investigate leaks.

What the document actually says

“The ODNI and CIA should fire or refer for prosecution any employee who is suspected of leaking information, and penalties should include the removal of pension benefits”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 214
That sentence, in plain words

Anyone thought to be leaking should be fired or charged. Those found guilty should lose their pension.

What this is about

A leak is when a worker gives secrets to the press. The book says anyone suspected should be fired. Those proved guilty would lose their pension too.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
