James Wolfe, Director of Security for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has been indicted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with “repeated contacts” ... “with three reporters”, including some using encrypted messaging applications. Wolfe is a 29-year employee of the Senate.
What is a real crime here is that the reporters were not indicted along with him. This is a conspiracy of at least four people, who sought to hide their game by using encrypted apps which could not be detected easily. All of them knew what they were doing, and all of them should go to jail together. This is not what we have a press for. They were actively participating in the distribution of classified information to people they knew should not have it. We cannot wring our hands and say how bad it is that government employees violate the trust we place in them, without remembering that we have no faith in the press because of this kind of thing.
