You are welcome for the report - SIR!
*texokie saluting the guy with the honking big sword!*
That is quite a weapon you have there, Wild Highlander! I’m so very glad you are on OUR side! (Did Swordmaker see that magnificent bit of honed steel yet???)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore
“...Paul Wagner and Christopher Thompson argue that the term “claymore” was applied first to the basket-hilted broadsword, and then to all Scottish swords. They provide quotations that are earlier than those given above in support of its use to refer to a basket-hilted broadsword and targe: “a strong handsome target, with a sharp pointed steel, of above half an ell in length, screw’d into the navel of it, on his left arm, a sturdy claymore by his side” (1715 pamphlet). They also note its use as a battle-cry as early as 1678....
Last month, the left-wing First Amendment Coalition sued Sessions and the DOJ, because Trump's government (federal investigators) had seized Ali Watkins' email and phone records during the on-going probe into probe into classified leaks. The lawsuit was initiated by the media, who are growing increasingly nervous and showing signs of panic.
As a refresher for folks, Ali Watkins is a NY Times reporter who is now 26 years old (as of 2018). She was having sex with James Wolfe (Senate Intelligence Committee senior staffer who has been discovered to have illegally leaked classified information to the media). When she started having sex with Wolfe (in 2014) in exchange for classified and sensitive government information that she published in the NY Times, she was only 22 years old. Wolfe is now 58.

James Wolfe

This point is key: Wolfe was the security director at the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) for three decades from 1987 to 2017 and reportedly managed all classified information.
He is completely dirty. Lord knows what damage this man has done to this nation. Further, Diane Feinstein has been leaking and divulging classified information and testimony for years, and this is before the Kavanaugh mess.

Think about all of this for a minute. We have members of the press (the NY Times, the most "respected" media outlet) literally prostituting themselves for classified information, provided by dirty career Senate employees, that is then published. A panicked media is now suing the Federal government for actually investigating the leaks of classified and sensitive information.
