Documents filed in the indictment of Mr. Wolfe suggested that prosecutors were especially interested in a scoop by Ms. Watkins published in BuzzFeed in April last year. The article revealed that Russian spies had tried to recruit Carter Page, a former Trump adviser, in 2013
He added that he was “baffled” by the Justice Department’s aggressive action against Ms. Watkins, given that Mr. Page had confirmed the information in the article.

Obtaining a journalist’s data without permission is considered by First Amendment advocates to be a highly aggressive form of government intrusion. “This should be a grave concern to anyone who cares about an informed citizenry.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists called the move “a fundamental threat to press freedom.” The Times, in its own statement, called the seizure “an outrageous overreach” and raised concerns about a chilling effect on journalists’ ability to report on the government.

She knew in February and has been b*tching about it ever since. So, there's that.
 
it says it was "UPDATED 8:02 et June 8, 2018"
they updated the story to include her name AFTER the times story with her name in it.
do you think usa today would have the name of a ny times reporter BEFORE the ny times.
good thinking. besides the night before would hardly be "a while".

Dtard the information that is bolded in your copy pasta has been know for a while. That is not new information.
 
Dherd, they went and got this info because the little slutbag was banging the former senate Intel communications director in exchange for him leaking confidential info to her. They need the information in their case against him, it has nothing to do with a story on Carter Page.

Try to stay informed. You can simply type Wolfe Watkins affair in Google to see how she rose through the journalism ranks in NY.
