Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLouise Mensch has made a formal report to the FBI about a leaker who went public.
Naveed Jamali indirectly revealed he was a source for Mensch's FISA story and she has confirmed it. Also, she acknowledges that her November 2016 report had the effect of warning "bad actors" that they were under investigation, and says she has made a "formal report to the FBI" about what Jamali told her about his sources.
(Jamali misunderstood Mensch's tweet. She was saying MCMULLIN had never been her source. Jamili thought she was saying Jamali had never been her source -- and took that to be a "claim against" him.)

This story was a world exclusive. It was also given to me just before the election and published when it could make no real difference to the outcome.
What it could do, however, was warn bad actors involved with the two banks that they were now under investigation by the FBI. At the time of reporting, I did not even myself understand exactly what a FISA warrant meant, nor its extreme secrecy.

The FISA court operates in secrecy. After a Presidential election, there is a transition team with access to its information. Before the election, there are fewer people with access. Mr. Jamali is (I think) still a reservist in Naval intelligence. He was highly unlikely to have had access to the detailed information that I published on November 7th. He told me, for this story, who his own sources were. I have described whom Jamali alleged told him his information in a formal report to the FBI. (I believe that allegation to be sensitive and will not publish it. ) I could not, and would not, have been able to make this report, without his actual public admission on Twitter, which released me from my obligation of confidentiality towards him.

Mike Flynn Turns on Trump, Talks To FBI
Multiple sources with links to the intelligence and law enforcement communities say that Lt. Gen Mike Flynn has turned on Donald Trump, and has already had at least one lengthy interview with the FBI.
General Flynn has not been offered a deal as of yet, these sources say. They indicate that as of this writing Flynn has not been arrested. He would likely be offered a chance to surrender himself, sources report, when that time comes. .................
