Senior Justice Department officials announced late Thursday criminal charges against Senate Intelligence Committee’s long-time director of security James Wolfe.
The indictment charges Wolfe with making false statements to the FBI and details how Wolfe passed classified information, including presumably information related to one-time Trump campaign aide Carter Page, to a series of media outlets, confirming long-standing suspicions of the career intelligence community’s complicity in leaks. The three-count indictment charges Wolfe with separate instances of making false statements to the FBI, not directly charging him for leaking classified information, but appearing to detail how he did allegedly leaked classified information to reporters and then allegedly lied about it to the FBI.

Sessions has been AG for fourteen mos and the result, per the Deep State, is a single mid-level arrest. The smear that anyone who is underwhelmed needs instant gratification is vapid, foundationless and irrational.
Yep. Sessions deep state masters don’t want their man to lose his role.
Keeping up appearances, that’s all this is. Like, a cuckold attending a social event with the wife who beds another man
“Maybe he was instructed to leak by one or two committee members.
If so, that would be bigger fish. Big delicious fish.”
I’m hopeful! I just read a freeper comment that Wolfe was at one time a democrat Senate staffer before taking the ‘non-partisan’ position. So yes, it’s likely that committee members - possibly along with other senators who knew his propensity - used him.
Correction: Sessions has been AG for 15 mos.
That’s the MO. Every time the pressure builds to the boiling point Jeff is allowed to execute a relatively minor act. The last time it was firing McCabe. This time it was pressing the least serious charges possible against a mid-level security person.
They will have to find evidence of espionage to get him to roll on that. Right now, they only charged him with a couple of counts of lying and that does not carry much time. I suspect there is much more to the story, but given that they grabbed the reporters electronic devices they are still looking for documents. If they find those he is in much bigger trouble.
NBC is Comcast. ABC is Disney — two major media corps that despise Trump and conservatives.
Yup. False hope.
The beginning of the end.
Didn’t Hannity once say there are thirty or so ongoing leak investigations?
Obama DID win. Twice. Did you mean Hillary Clinton?
Was the Hussein gambit an attempted coup?
And please don't tell me a coup has to be overt, kinetic activity. The founders, as highly educated Englishmen, were surely well versed on Macbeth, Richard III, Julius Caesar, et al. Richard, as regent to the two princes, simply had them disappeared in order to assume the throne. So, like the 1A doesn't mean just the printing press, and the 2A isn't restricted to muskets, a coup can involve subtleties such as espionage, subterfuge and legal maneuvering.
Once you accept the Hussein treachery was an attempt to overthrow the duly elected and legally constituted government of the USA, then you agree that it was a highly leverage revolutionary act of war. That means treason for all parties involved, not only those directly levying, but others providing subsequent aid and comfort.
Which, for those paying attention, would include Sessions if he is truly trying to oppose Trump's attempts at fully prosecuting the war effort against the deep state enemy.
I agree they need evidence.
But what we know for sure is, a person who held a position where he was responsible for receiving and handling confidential info, is guilty of passing that info along to the media for who knows how long. And he made sure to use encryption, feeling safe.
Maybe he’s the main ‘according to a confidential source[s]’ we keep hearing about.
Rapid moves to "drain the Swamp" without carefully building the foundations and without letting the Mueller/Clinton crowd get themselves bogged down in their contradictions and vapor cases would have got that impeachment. People forget that enough Republicans in Congress wanted Trump gone by any means to be sufficient to impeach.
The idea of Trump riding in on his white horse and shooting all the bad guys is appealing to lots of our impatient Freepers but it would have been counterproductive and a last hurrah by conservatives.
I would guess this guy was one of the bigger leakers, but there are many more out there!
I wonder if Ali Watkins can be arrested for prostitution, she made money off the stories that she traded sex for.
Indicting Clapper for brazen, shameless perjury before the statute of limitations ran out would not constitute a “group of indictments.” If Sessions was too weak to make that case, he should have resigned ages ago.
