Senate Select Intel Staffer Targeted Trump Campaign Adviser In Aggressive Leak Campaign
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/08/2018 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 06/08/2018 11:33:46 AM PDT by detective

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was the primary target of a Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSIC) staffer indicted for lying about his contacts with reporters, according to an indictment released on Thursday.

James Wolfe, the former director of security for the SSIC panel, was in contact with at least three reporters at around the time they published articles about Page, an energy consultant who is a central player in the investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

Wolfe, 57, is charged with lying to the FBI during a Dec. 15, 2017 interview about whether he knew the journalists and had contact with them on certain dates. In one case, Wolfe denied knowing a reporter with whom he had been in a romantic relationship for four years. He is also charged with lying about giving that reporter, Ali Watkins, information about Page.

Now we know where at least some of the fake news, false narratives and selective leaks about Carter Page and the supposed FBI collusion investigation.

The media and the Senate prove to be totally dishonest and corrupt.

Did they commit crimes?

Sounds like it might be connected to Spygate. This just gets bigger and weirder by the day.

Judge on the indictment:

Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson (born September 1970) is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. In 2016, she was reportedly interviewed as one of Barack Obama's potential nominees for the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia.

One reason this has some legs is that Wolf is hired help.

He can be seen as someone who was making policy decisions in direct conflict with his job.

Judge Jackson will probably toss the case for lack of evidence.

I read somewhere in the indictment that Ali Watkins and James Wolfe had over 10,000 communications between the two of them.

When do these government employees work?

We need to drain the swamp at all levels of government. It is not only the Federal Government that is loaded with corrupt and incompetent employees.

Considering the FACT that these News Agencies were ALL privy to the Steele dossier and it's origin, I would call their actions an "overt act in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government"
