[theconservativetreehouse] Connecting the Wolfe indictment to the recently released Carter Page FISA application it becomes obvious in March 2017 Senate Staffer James Wolfe sent reporter Ali Watkins a copy of the 82-page FISA Title-1 origination application. Here’s how we know:
On/around March 16th, 2017, the Senate Intelligence Committee requested a copy of the FISA application used against Carter Page. How do we know this? Because a part of the indictment against James Wolfe tells us what took place.
Page #5 of the Wolfe indictment (unsealed in June 2018) describes Reporter #2 Ali Watkins.

Wolfe did the same thing that Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and others have done; leaked and lied about it. Wolfe got some loving with a lefty journalist honeytrap in the process.
[DailyMail] As China’s wealth has grown, so has its sophistication at currying favor in Washington and among the American elite.
Both the Chinese government and Chinese companies, often with close state ties, have retained lobbying and public-relations firms in the Beltway, in some cases hiring former U.S. officials as personal lobbyists.
Beijing has also learned how to harness its economic might by alternately opening its doors to companies who play by China’s rules, and slamming the door on companies that go against its red lines. In some cases, this grants Beijing powerful sway over foreign companies with business interests in China. This has raised concerns that current U.S. government officials may have an eye on their future prospects in China even before leaving office.

Some are even helping China with lawfare against the US military to cut into their ability to do their job. Maybe that's why they buy "green" av fuel at $100 a gallon?

Another report supporting the 'revolving door tax' pushed by the Instapundit. Work in the government, leave and lobby within 5 years, your income tax bracket just hit 50%.

[Powerline] The post immediately below addresses the fact that voters don’t care much about the Democrats’ Helsinki hysteria. Most voters, I think, are smart enough to understand that Donald Trump, unlike his predecessor, is unabashedly pro-America. Thus, the Left’s insane claim that he committed "treason" by not denouncing Vladimir Putin in a public forum convinces no one, especially since the news outlets promoting that attack cheered Barack Obama’s give-away-the-store approach enthusiastically. The average American may not be brilliant, but he isn’t that stupid.
That said, what do voters care about? Illegal immigration, for one thing. Here again, the Democrats have mostly misfired. Their "separated children" campaign‐which was exquisitely coordinated with virtually every newspaper and television network in America, I give them credit for that‐fell rather flat. Most people are much more concerned about the many adverse impacts of illegal immigration on our country.
Crimes by illegal immigrants are just one issue among several; lower wages for unskilled and semi-skilled Americans is another. But crime grabs headlines, so this Judicial Watch survey is highly relevant: "Busy Month for Illegal Immigrants Committing Heinous Crimes."

[Breitbart] Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation," Democratic nominee for New York State’s 14th congressional district November election Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Congress being "80 percent male" created "blind spots in our legislation." I guess little Alexandria been advised to zip it on the subject of economics. But feminism still works.
[Chicago Sun Times] Willie Wilson Perennial Chi-Town Politician/Huckster
said he handed out a whole lot of money Sunday at a South Side church - a couple hundred grand, in fact.
But he insists that's nothing new. And he said Sunday's event, attended by Gov. Bruce Rauner, had absolutely nothing to do with his run for mayor. However, it's already raised more than a few eyebrows on the campaign trail.
"I think people try to make political hay out of it because they don't got nothing else on me," Wilson said. Great bit of double-negative 'in-the-hood' wordplay there Willie, Freudian slip perhaps?
Republican state Rep. David McSweeney asked on Twitter, "How can Willie Wilson, a candidate for Mayor of Chicago, literally hand out CASH at a public event? This is so wrong!"
But when asked about allegations of vote buying, Mr. Didnadonuffin
Wilson said, "There's no truth to that at all." Ah yes, This is Chicago

Did he try to buy the Jewish vote, or are they already in the bag?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
