Why Did Senate Select Intel Staffer Aggressively Target Carter Page?

Senate Select Intel Staffer James Wolfe, the former director of security for the SSIC panel seems to have targeted Carter Page with his leaks. Mr. Wolfe appeared in federal court on Friday on charges of lying to the FBI. A spokesman for prosecutors said Wolfe did not enter a plea at a court hearing in Baltimore. He was released on bail. He is to appear in court again on Tuesday in Washington. He is also charged with lying about having a relationship with reporter Ali Watkins, as well as giving her information about Carter Page.

While you’re defending Ali Watkins, also consider that a Senate Intel staffer led a targeted leak campaign against Carter Page even though he’s not been accused of a crime. https://t.co/jGgjvxffe5 @dailycaller

In one case, Wolfe denied knowing a reporter with whom he had been in a romantic relationship for four years. He is also charged with lying about giving that reporter, Ali Watkins, information about Page……
