Top Senate staffer arrested in leak probe, after NY Times reporter's records are seizedNBC News, Jun 8, 2018WASHINGTON — A longtime staffer for the Senate Intelligence Committee has been arrested on charges of lying to investigators probing the potential leaking of classified information, the Justice Department announced Thursday night.A federal grand jury indicted the staffer, James A. Wolfe, 58, on three counts of making false statements in December about contacts with reporters, including providing sensitive information related to the work of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which he served as security director for 29 years. He was arrested Thursday and is expected to appear in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on Friday.His arrest comes just one day after the full Senate, with little advance notice, quietly authorized the committee to cooperate with the Justice Department regarding what was described only as an “investigation arising out of allegations of the unauthorized disclosure of information.†The 15 members of the committee were briefed on the circumstances of the investigation Monday night.The Times said F.B.I. agents approached Watkins about a previous three-year romantic relationship she had with Wolfe, asserting that Wolfe had helped her with articles while they were dating. But Watkins told the Times that Wolfe was not a source of classified information for her.During his tenure, Wolfe escorted every witness who testified before the committee in connection with the Russia probe.Contacted by NBC News on Wednesday night about the unusual Senate vote, Wolfe denied that it involved any potential wrongdoing by him and that he had been contacted by federal law enforcement officials. Reached again Thursday night, Wolfe declined to comment.At least one case in which Wolfe is alleged to have improperly shared classified information involved the Russia probe. According to the indictment, a classified document was provided to the Senate committee in March 2017 that involved an individual identified as “Male 1.†Wolfe “received, maintained and managed†the document on behalf of the committee.That night, Wolfe is alleged to have exchanged 82 text messages with a reporter and also spoken to her by phone. On or about April 3, an article was published under that reporter’s byline revealing the identity of Male 1.Watkins was a reporter for BuzzFeed at that time. An April 3 article with her byline revealed that former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page “met with and passed documents to a Russian intelligence operative†in 2013.More: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/top-senate-staffer-arrested-leak-probe-after-ny-times-reporter-n881186

Well we already knew that the leftist media was "in bed with" the leftist deep state creeps..... but these two cases put a whole new spin on that phrase. A literal one...lol.Here's a pic of the bimbo. Looks about typical (Strzok/Page) to me.
Daddy issues, little in the way of ethics and lots of ambition.
If you have a sensitive job, and an attractive woman who is a journalist and is at least 20 years younger than you expresses a romantic interest in you, assume ulterior motives.
Is that what they call that now? We used to call them whores.
What if it is a dumpy unattractive woman like this reporter?
No way Jose. That face screams UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
She’s not that bad; certainly for a 58 year old government schmuck.
