So, a 30 year veteran of the Senate intelligence committee decided to "share"...and then the media complains when the government says they are getting "leaks". I guess this is one swamp creature who got caught leaving the muck...

    Why do you call a plumber. To stop a leak.
    This Wolfe a 57 year old starts a relationship with a very young woman starting out in her career and uses classified info to further his romantic
    goal.
    Ali Watkins as a senior in College broke a story about intelligence practices that were
    Secret and from past tweets she indicated she would possibly be interested in trading sex for info. In her 20's now her career sky rocketed.With each breaking headline Wolfe provided. http://www.breitbart.com/big-journali...

      Well, the article has facts about her that indicate she was playing the game of TV into reality (like any good millennial) and taking that line, she screwed the power man to get her info, after he started using info as bait to lure the pretty young thing in, and all her handlers scream foul over a minor part of it, after he gave her classified information that congressional staffers we not allowed to carry around. While I believe in open reporting and truth, there is none of that in any part of government or media, so I would say they both need to go to jail for a long time.

        Hi Nickursis,
        Wolfe is in deep trouble. Why should the reporter
        be punished ? I do see the danger of reporters creating false stories but libel laws should pertain.
        Transparency in govt is not helped by restricting journalists. You have to take some bad with the good ?

          I agree that the reporter (however reprehensible her personal conduct) shouldn't be charged with a crime. As a military security officer (extra duty, not my main line of work) the rules were that only the party with the responsibility for protecting classified could be charged, not the receiver, unless the receiver used extortion to purposely extract classified information. The extorting receiver was usually a foreign agent, and could be charged under other statutes. In this case, Wolfe held out the information as bait to seduce the young reporter, so the crime is his. Unlike the foreign agent, the reporter did not know if the information she was receiving was classified or not. She just wanted a scoop.

      I also think we need to define a new term "The Clinton Effect" where people start mirroring her actions, and thinking they are just fine, because she did it. The justification of using someone like her as a "law library" is pretty sad, but thinking about it, Bill got away with all kinds of sordid acts everyone knew about, yet Harvey gets indicted?

        It is of note that Anthony Bourdain's girl friend is a Harvey Weinstien accuser . A report indicates " no foul play in his suicide" .edit. He did tweet negatively about HRC 1 mo. ago . ".and I am in no way an HRC fan. I’ve been on the receiving end of her operatives’ wrath. And it ain’t fun,"

          Oh yes, and there are several YT videos of the lists of people related to Clintons, and over 80% "suicided". One even managed to shot herself in the back of the head, amazing skills.It goes back to the early 90's, and still involves Mena, and Whitewater and all the rest. The Clintons are the poster children for the deep state.

            This is not going to be a good month for them.
            Bring on the IG report.
            Although I have read that RR and co have heavily redacted it. Horowitz is scheduled to testify to the the proper Intel oversight committee.

    Who will leak the leakers?
    When you can no longer trust those who have been trained to guard your secrets the entire fabric of confidentiality falls apart, like a shirt laundered 100 times.This speaks to the morality of those currently in charge of guarding secrets. "Who will guard the guardians themselves?"
    What has happened to trust? I think that there is a vast lack of morality manifesting itself that has been increasing for the last few years to an irresistible degree..I think that it is part of the attitude of it being OK to lose so long as you are compensated for it some way.
