"That if the Trump folks found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff dealing with Russians, they would try and compromise those sources and methods, meaning, we would no longer have access to that intelligence. I became very worried because not enough was coming out in the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. Then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew they were also trying to help get information to the Hill. That’s why you have the leaking. People are worried."

There is one problem: Leaking is a felony. There is no legal basis for leaking to damage your political opponent, for any reason. It is simply beyond their pay grade.

This appears to be a rationalization for criminal activity.

As I just saying, this proves criminal intent. She indicates a duty to protect sources and methods, but she leaked anyway, which is enough, but it is clear that it was done for political gain.

Yes it is. She comes across like, "It's okay if we do it. . We were doing it because of the awful Russians. . and BTW, we just happened to get "Trump staff dealing with the Russians" as a sidebar. Oh really.

Well Dr. Farkas, how did you get the information on "Trump staff dealing with the Russians?" Can you please explain that to us, under oath? And do you know any of the leakers? Were you one of the leakers? Could you kindly tell us who else was trying to get information to the Hill?

Would love to see Trey Gowdy question her. .
