A former security director for the Senate Intelligence Committee — who was in charge of maintaining all classified information from the Executive Office to the panel — was indicted for allegedly giving false statements to FBI agents looking into possible leaks to reporters, the Justice Department announced Thursday night.
James A. Wolfe, 58, served as the panel’s security director for 29 years, according to the feds.
Wolfe lied to the FBI in December 2017 about contacts he had with three reporters, the indictment read. He also allegedly lied about giving two reporters non-public information about committee matters.
Earlier Thursday, the New York Times revealed that federal investigators had seized years’ worth of email and phone records relating to one of its reporters, Ali Watkins. She previously had a three-year romantic relationship with Wolfe,…
@TheLastRefuge2 – Choosing this particular intelligence leaker, Jim Wolfe, to indict first was also very smart strategy. Wolfe indictment captures 4 Reporters, 4 outlets: CNN, NYT, NBC and ABC. Thereby most major media journalists are immediately on notice.

Soooo,
In charge of security 29 years, revels Classified information to the media and they dump it on the world stage.
Now he lies to the FBI? Will he be charged with high crimes and treason? Will he make a plea deal to stay out of prison?
I figure a plea deal. Turn in those other liberal bastards before they turn and burn you.
Keep moving those slimy rocks, and the Federal prisons will have to hire more guards.
I knew it would be fun to watch,
But this is like going to a Show and a Meal.
I thought these guys were warned of “HoneyTrap operations.
Way to ruin a guy’s Fathers Day weekend, Trump and Republicans are so heartless!!
/sarc
Oh, that is good. What about hard hearted, or is that too dated? Where did I put that new speak decoder ring…
Double plus alt-riech!
Jeez, you mean to tell me a guy with seniority is a liar?
A female NYT reporter involved? Hard to believe. Hilarious from the comments, “A result off truly back breaking work I’m sure….Ms Watkins is obviously very talented”.
This indictment appears to be just the tip of the iceberg. Now we know one source from where all the lefty MSM got their inside information. Hopefully lots more heads roll into the tumbril.
Just a word about that reporter. She’s in her mid-to-late 20s, and dating an intelligence staffer who is 59?
Yeah, I’m jumping to conclusions on the nature of that relationship, but how does that factor in female empowerment?
I will tell you; sex no longer has any meaning or value, everyone beds everyone else in every TV show and movie I have seen for the last 30 years. Nothing except cold hard cash has any value to anyone, so that is where society is. The love of money is the root of something… Seems like something I should have been taught in school… If school wasn’t straight up Maoist indoctrination…
Well, you can’t replace the dominant religion of a society, without getting rid of the original one first, right? So, Christians bad.. Jesus was a socialist… you should be too… no more religion in schools (at least, not YOUR religion; Marx’s is totes OK)…
Anyone out there who believes any of those Stalinist talking points like “takes a village”, well, you are too far gone and there is no road back to rational thought for you.
“The love of money is the root of something… Seems like something I should have been taught in school… If school wasn’t straight up Maoist indoctrination…” Well, yes, but as you said, Kevin, Christians/Christianity are out. And the assertion that “the love of money is the root of all evil” (as I’m sure you know) comes from the Bible: 1 Timothy 6:10. We can’t have kids being taught stuff that the Bible agrees with/said first, now, can we. Especially stuff written by that dastardly homophobe the Apostle Paul.
If a mid twenties woman started doing the nasty with me – she would own me. I would be her slave.
Seriously? Who needs to, or even wants, to go where every man has been before? Assign it the proper value, based on the current condition of society. Sex with women on the penis carousel is worth what? Don’t even pay for meals, in my opinion.
Basically, a woman who does not guard her own virtue has no value. If a person will not guard their own virtue, what promise from them could you possibly believe?
Despite it’s devalued currency (I quite agree with you) … sex still sells, and is still used as a tradable commodity. Look at that fat, fugly, tub of goo … Weinstein … and the BEAUTIFUL young women who were willing to degrade themselves for a movie role. So long as young, attractive women are willing to degrade themselves in exchange for career advancement … esp. at the NYT … old men holding hard parts, secrets, and a limp dikk will get all the personal attention they crave.
BTW .. where the HELL are our internal affairs departments in government? WHY are Top Secret Information holders allowed to caper unmolested … selling out our country to some average-looking (5) NYT reporter with a short skirt?

this shows that Trump was right when he said in a private conversation that a lot of women ( not all but most ), when you are rich and famous, they will let you grab their pussy
Women love money. fame and social status more than anything else in this world ( most women, not all, most )
and when you expose them for what they are, they play the offended virgins and cry rape ( most not all )
That’s what prostitutes are for: freedom.
ditto here, the ones I date are only about 25 years my junior. :-)))
She got her first big scoop while a student in Temple University, back when she’s already having this relationship. You can guess where the scoop came from.
All she needs to do now is ‘date’ a few members of the Pulitzer committee and her legacy is assured!
Her best reporting skill is … shorthand? … getting small-endowed men off QUICKLY
” She previously had a three-year romantic relationship with Wolfe,…
Robin Williams all-over this one, too: “Man has a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to use one at a time…”
So basically she’s a spy/whore and he fired his career and freedom away through the tip of his John Thomas.
Time for the swampers to join the lineup:
First one to sing, gets the best plea deal……….
I recommend the “cough medicine defense.”
I wonder if he used this line with her:

I think it’s strange that her Twitter account hasn’t been locked down, though investigators already have all the info they’ll be needing.

I wonder what Relationship James A. Wolfe had with John Brennan… Strange that the Trump Spy (Brit Prof) was a CIA resource….Yes! they can deny he was a FBI spy because he wasn’t………………
the wheels of justice move very slowly.
because they weigh 500,000 tonnes each.
watch out you oBOMBa leftovers.
