      emptywheel Retweeted Chuck Ross

      In which Chuck takes evidence that DOJ launched an investigation into Carter Page leaks specifically as evidence that his keys were right there under the street light all the time.https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1005116881068544001 …

      The actual, *sound* conclusion from the Wolfe indictment is that DOJ (appropriately) took the Carter Page leaks particularly seriously and in the process IDed someone who'd been leaking all along. But if Chuck wrote that up it'd sort of kill the whole Deep State narrative.

          My post on Wolfe does focus on the seriousness of leaks abt Page, and what that might say abt FBI's ability to viably investigate him. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/08/on-the-james-wolfe-indictment-dont-forget-carter-page/ …

          He's weaving his story while trying to maintain an air of objectivity. The comments to his posts alone give you a pretty good sense of the intention: raise skepticism about our institutions...

          So his stories are so dumb because he's dumb? I don't think that's right, tbh.

          He's just writing with an agenda, is my opinion. Every paragraph he writes has a hint of "gotcha" in it. I don't see that in most writers at other outlets; their writing remains more neutral. He doesn't strike me as objective, no matter how hard he tries to maintain appearances

          To some extent all journos (myself included) are a reflection of their sources. But yeah, he's definitely not able to test his own preconceptions very well.

          Replying to @emptywheel

          Yeah, until yesterday's indictment, I think Chuck was absolutely certain FBI officials were behind the Page leaks, and that could still be true. The congressional leaks issue might also be why rosenstein & wray aren't thrilled with nunes' constant requests.

          Burr has gone overboard preventing leaks from SSCI. It's the HPSCI side that's a sieve, on both sides, and SJC less so.

          I believe the took these particular leaks seriously because it revealed his involvement in the 2013 Russian case. Early reporting on case make clear Page is the FBI undercover employee - only to be spun as a potential “recruit” by the NYT after Ali broke the story.pic.twitter.com/rtgEAQHCkf

          Wow. That was completely uncalled for. I base my theory on the DOJ press release, early reporting of the case and the court docs. It’s not a ridiculous conclusion. What makes you believe he was the Russian recruit?

          Uhm, the sound conclusion from the indictment is that Carter Page's IDENTITY is classified at TOP SECRET level bc he was a bonefide INFORMANT for FBI prosecution of 3 SVR agents. Are you for real?https://twitter.com/MonsieurAmerica/status/1006610465873543168 …
