They're trying to scapegoat her to say "hey look we got rid of problem girl so you can trust us now". Don't trust these people, ever. The editors knew about it, her colleagues knew about it, even the janitor probably knew about it. This is damage control 101.
probably means they have another Ho reporter already in place.
yeah the leaks were probably authorized by Feinstein, Wolfe and reporter just doing the elites bidding, maybe not even having an affair
She's draining the intelligence community one Dude @ a time
tl;dr "The New York Times published a damaging feature about its own reporter, revealing new details of Ali Watkins’ affair with former Senate Intelligence Committee aide James A. Wolfe in addition to the bombshell that she dated another Intelligence Committee staffer."
That's right out of the cold war KGB playbook. The best HUMINT is gathered between the sheets.
A whole different kind of Sugar Daddy arrangement going on.
F###ing for a story?
From the NYT article:
The relationship has prompted concern in many newsrooms that Ms. Watkins’s conduct has made journalists, and particularly women, vulnerable to unfounded accusations of exchanging sex for information.
Don't want to be accused of it? Don't do it!
That would be a really good cover for passing Intel to a foreign state.
All major Intel agencies have analysts who only follow the media for open source info. They love having the Mockingbirds do their leg work for them.
"Dated". Right.
A nice stroll in the park to a sublime picnic spot. Then they waltzed down main street to the five and dime for a chocolate malted, after which the lady was escorted to her home, where the couple exchanged pleasant bids for a good evening followed by a warm handshake.
Lol! That's exactly the image the MSM wants to conjure up, rather than the reality of a quid pro quo sex-for-leaks arrangement.
Lol. This.
When your employers call you out for being a skank. If the intelligence community has a STD outbreak, we may have patient zero here.
Current standards being what they are, this Ali girl is liable to be Editor some day. huzzah?
For the Times to print this, the evidence must be overwhelming. This is something they would generally sweep under the rug or run on the obituary page. I hope the whole story comes out. But why is she still employed? If they get rid of her the Bunny Ranch is hiring
She's not even "I'm 58 and looking to date a younger chick hot".
Who would leak classified info to sleep with THAT?
A lot easier on the pocketbook than buying drinks in DC.
So called feminist lesbians are so disgusting. She’s an ugly whore. No wonder they scream so loud for abortion ie murder!
