Trump says arrest of Senate staffer in leak probe 'could be a terrific thing'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 8, 2018

President Trump said Friday that the arrest of a Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who is accused of lying to the FBI about leaking to the media "could be a terrific thing."

Trump, who routinely denounces leaks, said he still is learning details about James Wolfe, the former Senate intelligence Committee security director who was charged with making false statements about his links to four journalists.

"It's very interesting they caught a leaker in a very important — it's a very important leaker. So it's very interesting," Trump said on the South Lawn of the White House. "I'm getting information on it now. It happened last night. It could be a terrific thing."

He must be a democrat or the news articles would have said a Republican leaker.

Notice the media never mentions it when he is a Democrat rat.

This Wolfe hack would not have done this on his own.
Someone on this corrupt committee directed him to leak
or gave permission for these leaks.
Was it Warner? Was it Burr? Was it DiFi?
This goes deeper than Wolfe.

It has been written in a couple of articles that he was a former democratic Senate staffer before he took the “non-partisan” position.

Feinstein might be in trouble. Warner another possibility.

He and the girlfriend are just examples of the incestuous relationship of the media and the swamp.

I recall Sessions supporters going berserk after McCabe was fired. They believed their patience had been rewarded, their faith in Jeff vindicated, the first domino had fallen, and Big Developments were about to follow like a flood.

Here we are mos later. McCabe has been charged with nothing. This security person is the only Deep Stater to be charged. But once again the Sessions cheerleaders are doing the victory dance.

How long till the next shoe drops? Do we have to wait until Trump once again humiliates Jeff during a cabinet meeting? What’s the timeline? A rough projection will suffice.

Of course this is a great thing! It will make some congressional staffers think twice before selling out! Scum bag didn’t have the loyalty to the country let alone his own job! Stupid!

Because we know what Trump and Sessions discuss behind closed doors. It’s like people think unraveling the deep state that has been rolling around for decades can quickly be cleaned up. Rushing things only gets people off on technicalities. All of these criminals are either lawyers, friends with lawyers, married to lawyers, etc. If things are not done by the book these people will get off.

I’d call Warner a rat, but it would be unfair to the four-legged rats who merely mind their own business. THAT sleaze nearly makes my flesh crawl. And LIE?! He’ll tell a lie even when the truth would suit better. I suspect that he and pencilneck Schiff are in a competion for champeen liar.

This reporter (Ali Watkins) apparently started whoring herself out when she was a senior in college to a mid-fifties, no-name Washington DC bureaucrat (James Wolfe).

How is this any different than a “honey pot” spy operation?

Probably a course in J-School these days—”How to Screw your way to the top”.

Not a nice girl!

‘Because we know what Trump and Sessions discuss behind closed doors.’

This is the most irrational statement yet. Please explain how you know anything about Trump’s private conversations.

Flynn’s life has been ruined for telling the truth. Clapper is untouched despite committing brazen perjury on camera. Your arguments are fallacious at best.

Btw, how was destroying Trump’s attorney client privilege “by the book,”? Can you not see how illogical your argument is???
