David Ignatius is a reporter for the Washington Post. His call sign is 'Deep State Mouthpiece'.[1]
In early January 2017 former NSA official John Schindler tweeted, "When @IgnatiusPost speaks, Langley's 7th floor lips are moving."[2] "Langley's 7th floor" is a reference to CIA headquarters.
In 2012 Ambassador Christopher Stevens was put in charge of a covert operation to locate and buy back unaccounted MANPADS at the time of the Benghazi massacre. That was his mission there. While efforts by US-backed rebels to oust US War on Terror ally,[3] Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, more than 20,000 Soviet-era MANPADS fell into the hands of radical Islamic terrorist groups and remain unaccounted for, according to Ignatius.[4]
In early February 2017 Ignatius came under FBI investigation in relation to leaks of classified information that led to the resignation of Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's first appointment as National Security Advisor.[5] Steven Schrage suggests Stefan Halper may be the source of the leak to Ignatius of the Michael Flynn/Sergei Kislyak phone call.[6]
At the start of Ukraine's failed counteroffensive Ignatius wrote on June 6, 2023, “This assault could turn the tide of the battle for Ukraine, just as the Allied assault on the Normandy beaches altered the trajectory of World War II”.[7] The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost over 70,000 troops and gained absolutely no territory back. NATO equipment and tactics proved faulty and disastrous, being soundly defeated in the field.[8]
In July 2023 Ignatius wrote, "these 18 months of war have been a strategic windfall, at relatively low cost (other than for the Ukrainians). The West’s most reckless antagonist has been rocked. NATO has grown much stronger with the additions of Sweden and Finland. Germany has weaned itself from dependence on Russian energy and, in many ways, rediscovered its sense of values. NATO squabbles make headlines, but overall, this has been a triumphal summer for the alliance.”[9]
On September 12, 2023 Ignatius opined in an Washington Post op-ed that President Biden Should Not Run Again In 2024.[10]
