Congressional Probe into Possible News Leaks by FBI Agents

THE FBI, DOJ, NSA & IRS ALL NEED TO BE PURGED …

As reported by John Soloman at The Hill, Republican-led House and Senate committees are investigating whether the individuals involved in the Russia counterintelligence investigation had contacts with the news media that resulted in improper leaks. That would be illegal leaks. Did FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page leak information to the media? UNREAL. The very people who are supposed to enforce the laws of the United States are the ones breaking them. But when its “Get Trump,” all things are allowed. These people and several others in the FBI, DOJ and throw in the IRS need to be tried and sent to prison. When America loses faith in these so-called apolitical entities, its over. As stated at Red State, “All signs point to FBI Text Messages Suggest Senior Agents Were Sources of Trump Dossier Leaks.”

Republican-led House and Senate committees are investigating whether leaders of the Russia counterintelligence investigation had contacts with the news media that resulted in improper leaks, prompted in part by text messages amongst senior FBI officials mentioning specific reporters, news organizations and articles.

In one exchange, FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page engaged in a series of texts shortly before Election Day 2016 suggesting they knew in advance about an article in The Wall Street Journal and would need to feign stumbling onto the story so it could be shared with colleagues.

“Article is out, but hidden behind paywall so can’t read it,” Page texted Strzok on Oct. 24, 2016.

“Wsj? Boy that was fast,” Strzok texted back, using the initials of the famed financial newspaper. “Should I ‘find’ it and tell the team?”

The text messages, which were reviewed by The Hill, show the two FBI agents discussed how they might make it appear they innocently discovered the article, such as through Google News alerts.

“I can get it like I do every other article that hits any Google News alerts, seriously,” Strzok wrote, adding he didn’t want his team hearing about the article “from someone else.”
