What does Leah think of the US-Israel military technology merger in the NDAA?

Leah calls the provision, nicknamed the merging of the militaries, a technology merger with about six components that links US and Israeli systems in a way that cannot be undone. She says it creates an office with its own director and budget, so money to Israel could move through classified channels out of public view. She says the House passed it by four votes, and she calls it one of the scariest things that could happen.

• Leah says the final NDAA text, about 1,700 pages, is settled by a closed-door House and Senate committee.
• Shawn Ryan says the DIA has called Israel an espionage threat to US officials.
