I have been defendng Jeff Sessions since day one, however if he doesn't come up with a "bag of tricks" for his alleged 17 months of investigations of the old and new FBI, DOJ & NSA with John Huber, then I would have to assume that the CIA has had a serious chat with him and explained how the Shadow Gov & Deep States actually works...So if Sessions and Huber fail to produce anything less than Earth-shaking, then he needs to be shown the exit door....PERIOD
Session's has had a counter intel investigation going on for the past year, looking at where the leaks are coming from.
This was from Nov. of last year, he warned them they were investigating, yet, they ignored the warnings..this is why CNN, Bloomberg, and others had to retract their 'f**e' news stories back in Dec. they were feeding these folks f**e information to see what made it to the media. Well, planned and well executed.
Jeff Sessions: We're investigating 27 leaks of classified information

"Furthering this goal, today, we are here to announce some of the steps being taken and underway by the National Insider Threat Task Force to ensure that this government’s first priority—to protect this country and her citizens—is not undermined by the very people who have been entrusted to protect it.
While the Department of Justice does not discuss ongoing investigations or confirm specific matters, it is important for the American people—and for those who might be thinking about leaking sensitive or classified information—to know that criminals who would illegally use their access to our most sensitive information to endanger our national security are, in fact, being investigated and prosecuted. Since January, the Department has more than tripled the number of active leak investigations compared to the number pending at the end of the last Administration. And we have already charged four people with unlawfully disclosing classified material or with concealing contacts with foreign intelligence officers."
For the past several months, we have already made changes and are seriously ramping up our efforts.
First, I directed my Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein—whose district in Maryland encompassed the NSA headquarters and who has personally led these kinds of investigations— and FBI Director Christopher Wray to oversee all classified leak investigations and actively monitor the progress of each and every case.
Second, I directed the National Security Division and U.S. Attorneys to prioritize cases involving unauthorized disclosures. The Department will not hesitate to bring lawful and appropriate criminal charges against those who abuse the nation’s trust.
Third, as I said, we tripled the number of active leak investigations. In response, the FBI has increased resources dev**ed to leak cases and created a new counterintelligence unit to manage these cases. Simultaneously, the Department is reviewing policies that impact leak investigations."
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1005417242216095744.htmlSessions & Rod Rosenstein warned everybody to stop the leaks of classified information at the press conference where they both announced the formation of a new FBI leak hunting unit.
But nobody takes those guys seriously.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/06/08/the-bigger-story-behind-the-james-wolfe-indictment/ According to the indictment Wolfe was notified by the FBI of a classified intelligence leak investigation on/around October 30th, 2017. From the indictment we see that Wolfe was interviewed and confronted by FBI investigators on December 15th, 2017. After admitting he lied to those FBI investigators Wolfe resigned from his position.
On December 15th, 2017 Wolfe was busted; the FBI had him dead-to-rights. However, the grand jury proceedings didn’t start until May 3rd, 2018; and the indictment was sealed until June 7th, 2018. That means six months of investigative work was taking place between busting Wolfe on Dec. 15th, and indicting Wolfe on June 7th.
On December 15th, according to the indictment, the FBI investigators were aware of four specific journalists, “reporters”, who participated in the leak material. The FBI likely had more to choose from, but selected those four reporters -with specific intents and purposes- during the interview with Mr. Wolfe. The four reporters are not named, but their activity is outlined enough to make it possible to determine who is who.
From the indictment [Note Male-1 is Carter Page]:
Reporter #1 is likely Manu Raju of CNN.
Reporter #2 is definitely Ali Watkins of New York Times.
Reporter #3 is likely Marianna Sotomayor of NBC
Reporter #4 is likely Brian Ross of ABC
