Weeks after FBI opened its investigation & narrowed to Wolfe as a suspect, Carter was emailing taunts to @WaPo & @nytimes reporters with James Wolfe *blind copied* as a recipient.
This email from @carterwpage would as a tracer for the FISA leak recipient, directly identifying @nakashimae for prosecutors when she was the only reporter of 5 to “respond” to the “invisible” copied target, James Wolfe.
Take a moment to reflect on the irony: @carterwpage, all times under 100% FISA surveillance for being an alleged “agent of a hostile foreign power”, is sending emails that identify leak-networks for federal prosecutors AND are used as multiple pieces of “State’s evidence”…🤔
QUESTION: How does Page know James Wolfe is involved? Page was approached by Ali Watkins & Brian Ross, also Wapo & NYT reporters, but how would Page know about logistics of his FISA or which “government operatives” were to blame?
How’d he find out in 2 weeks? While under FISA?
This amazing display of trade-craft, specifically using emails to *indirectly transmit* key investigative leads to federal authorities by way of *intercepted* communications via FISA, is notable..
It establishes a *pattern* of such behavior for @carterwpage.
See his email to the international body @OSCE to *indirectly* inform FBI/Comey that he knew about Christopher Steele.
Carter was the first in the world to “report” about that, FWIW.
.@carterwpage‘s email to @OSCE in Oct 2016 was basis of @DevinNunes memo, uncovering @FBI reliance on Steele via @HillaryClinton… pic.twitter.com/4D0CHNsk1s

Carter Page also sent another email, the day before his letter to reporters, to the House Intel Committee.
In this email Carter names reporters at @ABCnews & @Buzzfeednews (@brianross & @aliwatkins) as responsible for Felony #1, the leaking of his protected identity within the Buryakov case.
Carter names reporters at @Wapo as responsible for Felony #2. Note that Carter does not mention @nytimes reporters in the formal complaint to HPSCI even though he would mention them the next day in the informal ‘trap’ email to the reporters. 🤔
Note that everyone that Carter has “named”, has suffered consequences:
James Wolfe, named in the blind cc email, was of course prosecuted, convicted, and defamed.
The reporters Carter named responsible for Felony #1 were both demoted from their careers on the NatSec beat *within 24 hours of each other* in July 2018.
They claimed “bad reporting” for Ross and “ethics review” for Watkins. Both were poor cover stories.
The reporter responsible for Felony #2 was masked as Reporter #1 in the Wolfe indictment but slyly revealed by @carterwpage as @nakashimae when he leveraged a female identifier dropped by prosecutor Jessie K. Liu to eliminate 4 other male contenders.
Notable: @nakashimae escaped having her career destroyed like Ross, Watkins & Wolfe. Is it due to interface with FBI and 2wk hold before publishing? Ali waited just as long; why did she suffer? How did Ross get his paws on the leak and why is he named nowhere? Always more…
