"The other matter that probably no one knows about, or very few people, is that Oleg Deripaska's attorney, the gentleman I named earlier, was in direct communication with Senator Mark Warner. In 2017, and we have the text messages, Oleg Deripaska's attorney was in contact with one of the highest representatives of the Unites States Senate and the highest Democrat on the Intel Committee at the time because he wanted to talk to, he... Warner wanted to talk to and have conversations about Christopher Steele, the guy Oleg Deripaska was paying, to help perpetuate the Russiagate scandal. If that weren't enough, in March of 2017 Oleg Deripaska was texting his pal, and that's not my verbiage, you can see him in his text messages how they are banding about, they're such good friends and what not. They are talking very specifically about Warner setting up a meeting with Oleg Deripaska himself. And the rest of the message chain talks about the material Christopher Steele can bring to the table, how its going to be bad for the Democratic Party. And these are text messages, just kind of explosive in my opinion that they, the Senate Intel Committee put out a statement saying, you know, Senator Warner disclosed this to us, these text messages, we basically find no there there, to borrow some verbiage that's in the parlance right now."

Here is an excerpt from and article with the spin Kash refers to...

"A new report indicates that Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner was in contact with a lobbyist for Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, in order to get in contact with Christopher Steele, author of the infamous dossier that was used to surveil Carter Page."

16 March 2017

Adam Waldman, a lobbyist for Deripaska, texted Warner “Chris Steele asked me to call you” on March 16, 2017.

Warner wrote back, “Will call tomorrow be careful.”

20 March 2017

Warner also said on March 20, 2017, “Can you talk tomorrow want to get with ur English friend”

“I spoke to him yesterday,” Waldman replied.

30 March 2017

On March 30th, 2017, Warner expressed a desire to not leave evidence of a meeting with Steele, which he wanted to be with only him.

“We want to do this right private in London don’t want to send letter yet cuz if we can’t get agreement wud rather not have paper trail,” he wrote to Waldman.

Remember the dates in bold type above.

Now, do you remember this little vignette?

James A. Wolfe was the Security Director of the U.S. Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSCI) for 29 years.

Wolfe was sentenced to two month's prison and a $7,500 fine for lying to the FBI during the latter's investigation of his intelligence leaks to Ali Watkins,[7][8] a New York Times national security journalist,[9] with whom he was involved in a romantic relationship from December 2013 to December 2017.[10][11] Following imprisonment, Wolfe had to serve four months of supervised release, doing 20 hours of monthly community service.

Former Senate Intelligence Committee security director James Wolfe was sentenced on Thursday to two months in prison for lying to the FBI about his interactions with journalists.

The FBI was talking to Wolfe as part of a broader attempt to find out who was leaking details about surveillance targets in the government’s investigation of potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Prior to sentencing...

12/11/18 / Politico

"Three current or former leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee are urging that one of the panel’s former aides escape prison time for lying amid an investigation into leaks related to the ongoing probe of the Trump campaign and possible collusion with Russia."

"Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) and former Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) are encouraging a federal judge not to put the committee’s former security director, James Wolfe, behind bars for a series of false statements he admitted giving to the FBI during the leak investigation."

“Jim has already lost much through these events, to include his career and reputation, and we do not believe there is any public utility in depriving him of his freedom,” Burr, Warner and Feinstein wrote in a letter Wolfe’s defense attorneys submitted Tuesday to U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Edit: my boldface above...
Re: Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson... Do you see how the system works?

Burr

Burr was one of only three senators to oppose the STOCK Act of 2012, which prohibits members of Congress and congressional staff from using nonpublic information in securities trading.

Feinstein

On July 27, 2018, reports surfaced that a Chinese staff member who worked as Feinstein's personal driver, gofer and liaison to the Asian-American community for 20 years, was caught reporting to China's Ministry of State Security.[121][122] According to the reports, the FBI contacted Feinstein five years earlier warning her about the employee. The employee was later interviewed by authorities and forced to retire by Feinstein.[123] No criminal charges were filed against them.

The letter...

30 November 2018

SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE
WASHINGTON, DC 2051 0-6475

The Honorable Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson United States District Court for the District of Columbia 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20001

Dear Judge Jackson:

We are writing to seek leniency in the sentencing of Mr. James Wolfe, former Director of Security for the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. We do not seek to diminish the seriousness of the allegations against Jim, nor diminish the significance of misleading federal agents - something he has freely admitted to the Court - but we ask that the totality of his service and career be taken into consideration.

We have all known Jim for many years, both as rank and file members of the Committee as well during our tenures as Committee leadership. We respectfully ask that you consider as part of sentencing his long service both in uniform as a U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst and as a civilian employee of the Senate and this Committee. Like many others, We were surprised and disappointed when we learned of the allegations against Jim as they were totally out of character for someone who we considered a friend and had provided thoughtful support to the Committee's membership and staff for so long. Jim has no prior criminal record and he received multiple positively adjudicated background investigations over the course of his 35-years of government employment. While Jim pled guilty to one count of making a false statement to special agents of the FBI, there are no indications that he disclosed classification information, he was not charged with disclosing classified information, and his plea includes no reference to classified information. To the extent there was a disclosure of "non-public information", it was of information considered Committee Sensitive, and the most severe punishment for such action has already, effectively, been imposed.

Jim has already lost much through these events, to include his career and reputation, and we do not believe there is any public utility in depriving him of his freedom. As the Court considers an appropriate sentence if necessary, we encourage you to examine other options available and respectfully suggest that if additional punishment is required, justice may still be served through the imposition of probation or community service.

We appreciate your consideration of our request and thank you for your service.

Sincerely,

RICHARD BURR, NORTH CAROLINA, CHAIRMAN 2015-Present MARK R. WARNER, VIRGINIA, VICE CHAIRMAN 2017-Present
DIANNE FEINSTEIN CHAIRMAN 2009-2015 VICE CHAIRMAN 2015-2016

Want to know who gave Wolfe the greenlight to leak...

Watch this incredible interview featuring Senator Mark Warner (D) Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Vice Chair Marco Rubio (R).

27 January 2023 - Friday - segment taped
29 January 2023 - Sunday - segment aired

Full interview: Sens. Mark Warner and Marco Rubio on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" (taped 27 Jan 2023 - aired on 29 January 2023)

https://youtu.be/99mUO5KyoWk (37 minutes)

As you watch the interview, imagine Senator Rubio is holding Senator Warner's balls in the jaws of a big pair of pliers because of what happened between 16 March and 20 March 2017.

17 March 2017

"The FISA application (original and first renewal) was delivered to Senate Security Director James Wolfe. Senator Mark Warner entered the basement SCIF shortly after 4:00pm on March 17, 2017, the day it was delivered (texts between Warner and Waldman)."

"Before, during or after Senator Warner’s review of the FISA application, SSCI Security Director James Wolfe leaked the FISA application content to his allied media cohort, a journalist at Buzzfeed, Ali Watkins."

Read both of this articles from the https://theconservativetreehouse.com/ archive and pay close attention to the parts concerning Warner and Wolfe.

Now... go back and listen to Kash during the segment transcribed. Kash is discussing Warner's emails to Deripaska's attorney to set up up a meeting with Steele on the 16th of March 2017.

Kash talks about the March 2017 emails between Warner and Waldman, but does not mention the 17 March 2017 visit by Warner to the SCIF on the same day and approximately the same time Wolfe took the photos of the FISA documents and sent them to the reporter.

"On Feb. 13, 2018, the Department of Justice notified New York Times journalist Ali Watkins that it had seized years of her phone and email records. Since Watkins was only informed after the fact, she had no way to challenge the seizure."

"Watkins is a national security reporter at the Times, who previously worked at BuzzFeed, Politico, and McClatchy. In February, she received a letter from the Justice Department, informing her that it had obtained her customer records and subscriber information from Verizon and Google."

"Those records, known as “metadata,” include details of each and every call, text message, and email that she sent between 2014 or so, when she was still an undergraduate intern, and December 2017. The metadata does not include the actual content of her calls and emails, but does include the recipient of each call and email, the duration of each call, and the timestamp of each message."
