WASHINGTON – James Wolfe, a former aide on the Senate Intelligence Committee, was sentenced two months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI in an investigation of his contacts with reporters and the leaking of classified information.
Wolfe was the Senate’s longtime director of security for the intelligence committee before retiring in May. He was charged in June with three counts with making false statements to federal investigators, who during the investigation seized emails and phone records belonging to New York Times correspondent Ali Watkins, whom he’d reportedly dated.
Along with his two-month sentence, Wolfe was ordered to pay a $7,000 fine. He faced a maximum of five years in prison for the charge but was recommended anywhere from zero to six months. Prosecutors, however, argued he should spend two years behind bars due to the veracity of his conduct and the senior position he held, according to BuzzFeed news.

Who else came up in that trial, do you suppose?
Got of rather easily. But I know there's a gang of active leak investigations...30 or so.
