It looks like Ali Watkins might have been the "honey pot".
Credit where it’s due.
Now more, and faster. Much, much more and much, much faster.

Good rootin’ shootin’ partner! I told them mean-old FReepers you’d come thru!! (Words of Granny)
Woah, he did this one thing. Hey, remember Bill Paxton’s quote from Aliens when told that Weaver/Ripley has been brought in because “she saw an alien once”?:

I like how the feds noted that he used ‘secure’ applications to leak the info...and then lied to the FBI about being a leaker (he should have had enough brains to know that the FBI wasn’t ‘fishing’ at that point).
Now what becomes of all the other Trump Haters, and their ‘secure’ messages they’ve been sending to try to undercut Trump. Maybe WhatsAp isn’t quite as secure from government snoops as advertised. Tisk tisk.
I know one thing, if I were one of them, I’d sing FOR SURE. It would probably mean the difference between spending a few years in jail and then having to start a new career, versus DECADES in jail and a totally ruined life.
My 1% just went up to 2%. (That Sessions is playing 4D chess)
It wasn't the first story and there was no urgency.
This story is being downplayed if not buried.

Ali Watkins, who covers intelligence and national security for Politico, will cover national security, starting Dec. 18. Read more in this note from Elisabeth Bumiller, Amy Fiscus and Mark Mazzetti.
We’re thrilled to announce that Ali Watkins of Politico is joining the Washington Bureau as a national security reporter.
Ali, who covers intelligence and national security for Politico, has had a series of important scoops. She broke news that Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser, met with a Russian spy in 2013. She also had exclusive new details on China’s harassment of American spies. Last month, she was the first to reveal the name of the Russian woman, Olga Vinogradova, who met with the former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos during the 2016 campaign.
Ali arrived in Washington in 2013 as an intern covering national security for McClatchy, where she was part of a Pulitzer-finalist team that uncovered the C.I.A.’s spying on Senate Intelligence Committee computers.
After McClatchy, Ali covered national security for The Huffington Post and then Buzzfeed before going to Politico.
Ali got her journalism degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, where she covered crime for The Temple News, the campus newspaper, and The Philadelphia Daily News.
She grew up in Pennsylvania and lives in Washington with her dog, Kellan. In her free time, she boxes and rides motorcycles.
She starts Dec. 18. Please welcome her.
Lol. One small fish. Thus alerting the other players and allowing them to get their ducks in a row. 4D chess my @$$.
The reporter was his mistress/girlfriend.
Good news, but he’s a small fish.
“Finally”
It would have been counter-productive to expose traitors in the legislature, before the primaries. The Dems would just replace them with another closet commie.
Diane Feinstein just won her primary two days ago - worth waiting for.
Where does it say anything about Sessions being involved at all?
A Wolfe in sheepeoples clothing.
Charge him, try him, jail him.
He hasn’t delivered until the leaker is prosecuted and imprisoned. Anything else is just more of Session’s “Get Trump” crap.
So... apparently Wolfe’s wife worked for the FBI for 20 years... until some time in 2016.
What are the odds?
He was not a lone wolf leaker.
But the MSM is already saying this was just a “staffer”.
I thought Carter Page met with the Russian spy as part of his work as an “asset” for the FBI.
One point for your position. A few dozen more of these, and some serious defense against Meuller’s witchhunt, and I will be convinced to take up your argument.
Fair is fair.
