He’s 58, she’s twenty-something.

Is there a Pulitzer category for reporter most willing to put out to get a scoop?

Actually this is a good bust - this is the person who received and handled all classified information provided to the committee by the executive branch.

Remember how many leaks Trump was afflicted with during the transition and into his Presidency? I bet a few of them came from this guy.

Former democrat staffer who is married - not to the young reporter either.

before NYT, there was HuffPo too...

8 May 2017: AdWeek: BuzzFeed’s Ali Watkins to Politico, Politico’s Shane Goldmacher to NYT
The revolving door goes in and out of Politico
By Corinne Grinapol
Watkins, who has been a national security correspondent at BuzzFeed, joins Politico in the same role. “Ali is one of Washington’s most talented young journalists on the beat and has delivered consistently impressive coverage of the investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 election,” write editor Carrie Budoff Brown and executive editor Paul Volpe in a note to staff...

Watkins joined HuffPost in 2014 and then BuzzFeed in 2015...

+So - they’re going to throw a few people we’ve never heard of under the bus and then pretend they’ve administered justice - and there’s an end to it?

This one’s MUCH HOTTER. Page was already ‘reelin in the years’ before she hooked up with Stroke.

The FEC records for James A. Wolfe have several individuals. Most likely candidate is

WOLFE, JAMES MR.
STERLING, VA
20165 $250 02/25/2016 P CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT - Republican

No employer listed. Other James Wolfes are far from DC, and list other occupations. Most likely, it’s him.

This guy is a republican and neither he or his wife are anti-Trump, at least they’ve never been openly anti-trump. He is getting indicted for leaking to his side piece... sad!

James Wolfe worked on the Senate Intelligence Torture report that made Ali Watkins a Pulitzer finalist but who led the committee review? Daniel Jones. What’s he doing today? He’s working with Fusion GPS on their Trump/Russia attack. Was he a source too? https://t.co/n8TCGxzWn3

FWIW.
