Seem the New York Times and Ali Watkins has invented another method of pay to play. Ali Watkins was having a “romantic relationship” with James A. Wolfe. He is the Senate Intelligence Committee’s former director of security. Wolfe leaked classified information to the media, including Ali Watkins. Classified information is probably not the only thing Wolfe leaked on Ali Watkins. Bill Clinton can be seen in the background nodding his head in approval. Ali Watkins of course is another New York Times left wing progressive propagandists. Now, she may be in more serious trouble.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized phone and email records of New York Times’ journalist Ali Watkins as part of the agency’s investigation into a leak of classified information.
The records encompass Ms Watkins’ time before she joined the newspaper, while she was reporting for BuzzFeed News and then Politico, on national security matters. It is the first known seizure of journalists’ data by the administration of President Donald Trump and the DOJ led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The records are part of the DOJ’s investigation into whether James Wolfe, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s former director of security, had given controlled information to the media. FBI agents had previously questioned Ms Watkins about a three-year romantic relationship Ms Watkins had with Mr Wolfe, which she had disclosed to all her editors. Mr Wolfe has been arrested on suspicion of lying to the FBI about his contact with reporters.
Ms Watkins, who now covers federal law enforcement, was informed of the records seizure in February 2018 and the New York Times’ said it “suggested that prosecutors under the Trump administration will continue the aggressive tactics employed under President Barack Obama”.
