Leak of Crossfire Hurricane agent's identity to the NYT suggests more to come...

The leak of Stephen Somma’s identity to the pair of favored New York Times journalists looks like an attempt to preempt, and thereby soften, damaging information soon to come.
Last week, The New York Times outed Crossfire Hurricane Case Agent #1 as Stephen Somma. Crossfire Hurricane is the Obama administration’s secret surveillance of the Trump campaign on the pretext of collusion with Russia that was later disproven by a two-year special counsel probe.
In a story headlined “National Security Wiretap System Was Long Plagued by Risk of Errors,” SpyGate denier Charlie Savage and his co-author, Adam Goldman, portrayed the egregious Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse targeting former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page as typical of the missteps made in other, less politically sensitive FISA court cases.
Still waiting to see these criminals go to jail. If lying to Congress gets you 7-9 years, lying to a federal judge in order to illegally spy on a US citizen (and discredit his bid for the presidency) should be worth a couple of decades, right? Or maybe it’s not a problem is it’s against conservatives.
