FBI leaked stories, then leveraged them to obtain surveillance warrants??

September 2, 2018 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

You can’t make this stuff up…really?

An FBI intelligence analyst admitted to House committees last week that bureau officials were known to leak information to the press and then use the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants.

Jonathan Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, testified last Friday behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee.

Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants.

Republicans have long questioned to what extent leaked information, related to the unverified anti-Trump dossier, was used as a basis for surveillance warrants against former Trump adviser Carter Page in 2016 — when the bureau was led by James Comey and deputy Andrew McCabe.

Moffa acknowledged the FBI had at least engaged in this activity in other cases.

“We know that some people at the Department of Justice and the FBI actually gave information to the media, then the stories were reported. Then they used those reports to justify further investigations…You know, that’s like saying, we’re going to incriminate on one hand, and be the jury on the other. It just doesn’t work that way,”–House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C.
