“Is Ali Watkins still employed?”

I believe that the NY Times transfered her from DC to NYC. Could be a promotion.

The leaking charge may yet come. They are charging him with a lesser offense of lying to investigators. They are keeping the leaking charge in their back pocket for leverage.

For anyone who doesn’t remember, this guy works on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and on the day they got the unredacted FISA application, he leaked it while it was in his custody before it was redacted.

How do we know? He texted her 82 times on that day, and the document is 82 pages long, unredacted. The Redacted document had only 40 or so pages IIRC that were not TOTALLY redacted. He wouldn’t have texted her pictures of black pages.

Using her assets. Selling her sexual favors for information, just another way to get herself to the top.

Check it out...just came out tonight...the worst weasels in the Senate want to let Wolfe the Leaker & liar off:
[my guess is because he was probably leaking this swill on their request as part of their coup effort to sabotage the President but they don’t want that to come out]

While federal prosecutors on Tuesday recommended a two-year prison sentence for James Wolfe, a former director of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee who pleaded guilty in October to a charge he lied to the FBI about his contacts with journalists, his former bosses urged the judge to show mercy.

A letter to the judge from current committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and top Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia, and former chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., urged no prison time for Wolfe, who was director of security for nearly three decades.....

The same Mark Warner that wants mercy for this liar who was sleeping around with the presstitutes…

wants no mercy for Manafort.

Key Senate Democrat warns Trump not to attempt to pardon Manafort, Reuters ^ | August 21, 2018 | by Reuters Staff
U.S. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned President Donald Trump on Tuesday over a possible pardon for his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. “Any attempt by the President to pardon Mr. Manafort or interfere in the investigation into his campaign would be a gross abuse of power and require immediate action by Congress,” Warner said in a statement.

Isn’t Senators writing letters to try to influence the Judge in the case of their home boy leaker Wolfe an “abuse of power ?”

The New Yorker reports the unidentified senator contacted Daniel Jones, a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer, around March 2017 to review data regarding a possible link between the computer servers of the Trump Organization and a Russian* bank called Alfa Bank.

Jones, who worked under California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein when she chaired the intelligence panel, had just formed a non-profit group called the Democracy Integrity Project. The organization worked closely with Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele, the tag-team duo that produced the Democrat-funded dossier accusing the Trump campaign of colluding with the Kremlin.

Jones's operation was also funded by a small group of billionaires, including left-wing philanthropist George Soros. Jones told the FBI in March 2017 that between 7 and 10 billionaires had put up $50 million to continue an investigation into Russian meddling in elections.

...Allegations about Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization first surfaced in an Oct. 31, 2016, article published by Slate's Franklin Foer. The article alleged that servers for the two companies were secretly communicating with each other, possibly as part of a back-channel communications system related to the election.

The article received heavy criticism from cybersecurity experts and tech reporters who said the server communications appeared to have an innocent explanation, such as spam or mass marketing email traffic.

According to The New Yorker, a handful of Democrats pursued the Alfa Bank theory. One was Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence panel. A second Democratic senator was also exploring the angle, and approached Jones.

* I might add, if I am not mistaken, that Alfa bank's not just a "Russian" bank but more important in the Senators' eyes it's run by Joos… so mainly the reason the Senators got their panties in a wad over this bank was one of the dual nationalities [Russian/Israeli] of the bank execs. Funny thing is all the related articles try really hard to keep Warner's coconspirator Senator secret. Feinstein seems the most obvious possibility, but why so hush hush?

Yes, of course. We all know that he didn’t pass any classified material along. All we know is that the unredacted Pfizer warrant was 80 pages long, and he sent 80 separate text messages to her on the date in question.

No, nothing to see here.

Actually, I don’t believe that is the correct conclusion to come to… This is just a legal wrangling, trading this charge for that charge, etc.
