The first name that popped in my head when I read the email was James Wolfe. Very likely candidate.

I still believe the most likely source of the leak was ONA Director James H. Baker. It seems ONA was the epicenter of the spying campaign against Flynn, and it's hard to ignore Baker's connection with Ignatius. The Jan 23rd story (day before the infamous WH FBI meeting w/ Flynn) by Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller that presumably cleared Flynn of any wrongdoing was obviously meant to get him “relaxed and unguarded” in the interview and demonstrates the WaPo reporters were all coordinating amongst themselves as well as the FBI.

This is where they crossed the line between partisan hack journalism and into a criminal conspiracy (overt acts in advance of a criminal conspiracy - 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the US Criminal Code).

I take your point as to the peculiar timing of the WAPO article and the Flynn/Strzok interview ambush. That has always bothered me. It seemed orchestrated. The general should know.

WaPo controls the political narrative inside the Beltway. Ignatius kicked off a firestorm of controversy around Flynn for almost two weeks with his article. Then on the 23rd Nakashima and Miller drop an article saying it's all good, nothing to see here just at the time the FBI is brainstorming how to get Flynn “relaxed and unguarded” the next day. An article they all but retcon as soon as the meeting is over and go right back to touting the Logan Act nonsense. And that's all a coincidence?

B.S. It was coordinated

The only aspect I note that is not mentioned here (nice work as usual, BTW) is that it is believed that the transcript of the call did not come from U.S. intelligence sources. If memory serves, I believe that conclusion was made when the whole of the transcript was released without redactions given that since it was not a product of the U.S. Government intelligence apparatus, then it was not subject to review before declassification and contained none of the standard marks indicative of a declassified U.S. Government file. This would rule out a Democrat SSCI leak.

Now that we know from its use on 3 Nov (with its Scorecard application) that the HAMR (Hammer) brute force intrusion computer is not a "myth" or "conspiracy theory", this adds significant credibility to testimony by whistleblower Dennis Montgomery that HAMR was used by Obama/Brennan/Clapper for their own criminal DOMESTIC spying and extortion of political enemies purposes throughout Hussein's entire 2 terms. I have long suspected that is how the call was intercepted and recorded. Kislyak was told when to call Flynn and with even a small amount of time to prepare, compromising the non-encrypted cellular network (and likely even an encrypted one) would be like beating a child's game for HAMR. Hussein, or more likely one of his proxy lackeys, was waiting for the call to get dirt to entrap Flynn. This would also explain why Operation Echo was closed without prosecution since "technically" it was not USG classified intelligence that was leaked, but that from an outside source.

Just some food for thought. Keep up the great work!

I'm right there with you about Wolfe's likely involvement. He has interesting links to Dan Jones (Penn Quarter Group/Steele) and worked closely with Sen. Feinstein as well.

Dan Bongino discussed Wolfe's involvement in this episode:

If the President personally ordered the Flynn/Kislyak leak, no laws would have been broken in Durham’s eyes... I bet.

I think you're right. Why would Stzrok and VP be talking independently about the same idiot non-crime, 24hrs apart???
