Exposing sources makes it that much harder for every part of the intelligence community to gather intelligence on those who wish to do us harm, Warner wrote. Hmmm. I wonder which "us" it is that Warner's referring to, eh? Let's play pronoun bingo...
Exposing sources makes it that much harder for every part of the intelligence community to gather intelligence on those who wish to do Democrats harm, Warner wrote.
Eh?

"It would be at best irresponsible, and at worst potentially illegal, for members of Congress to use their positions to learn the identity of an FBI source for the purpose of undermining the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in our election."Actually, Warner is correct... but as an attorney, he should also know that the reason for bringing a certain evidentiary fact is crucial. Since the purpose of looking into the source is NOT "undermining the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in our election, but rather to find out whether the investigation itself was illegal, it magically changes from "irresponsible and potentially illegal" to fully justified and proper.
(eg: it is improper to bring up prior illegal acts as proof that a defendant committed the crime being charged, but it is usually allowed as proof of character, when that aspect of character is raised)
Rule 404: "This evidence may be admissible for another purpose, such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident."

Crossing the line describes the sitting party using the immense powers of government to undermine the opposing party’s election campaign.
THAT was crossing the line.

If it gets leaked there is no crime, right Schmuckey?
That’s how your side does it!

Heard Hannity say he knows the name as well as most media. If the guy did something illegal/unethical he deserves to be named IMO.

Because this source knows names and schemes. Would sing like a bird to stay out of trouble. All fingers will point towards the Obama administration and its corrupt cabal.
The DC Deep Swamp is leaking like a sieve and Warner and Schumer think that exposing this FBI mole's name is illegal and deserves a "severe warning" to the Republicans?
Cue three guys laughing their asses off:

Let's face it. There's a certain set of Deep State folks that take care of the Clintons. Too many convenient deaths over several decades. That's why Hillary laughed. But then, I wear a tinfoil hat sometimes. Who is that guy on the right? Has to be a Clinton buddy.

Where is Stefan Halper? Shouldn't he be brought in for interrogation?
The State Department can find out the last place his passport was scanned. I imagine if we waterboarded John "CPUSA" Brennan that we'd get some answers.

The unredacted memo with the source identified is now in the hands of the Federal judge presiding over Paul Manafort's criminal trial. What's driving these Democrats nuts is that they know the guy might be called as a witness for the defense.

I heard from guy that may know a acquaintance of Samantha Powers that it's Stefan Halper. but a Senator says it's top secret, so you can't tell anyone!
