Strzok, Page conspired to leak anti-Trump stories to mainstream media

WaTimes: FBI agent Peter Strzok conspired with his in-house lover to leak anti-Trump stories to the media in spring 2017 when he headed the Russia probe into the Trump campaign, a congressman said on Monday.

Rep. Mark Meadows, North Carolina Republican, sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein saying a House task force had just received a new shipment of Justice Department documents.

“Our review of these new documents raises grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at FBI and DOJ,” Mr. Meadows said. “Review of these new documents suggest a coordinated effort on the part of the FBI and DOJ to release information in the public domain potentially harmful to President Donald Trump’s administration.”

Mr. Meadows provided an example.

On April 10, 2017, Mr. Strzok text-messaged Lisa Page, his lover and then-FBI counsel, to discuss a “media leak strategy.”

“I had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go,” Mr. Strzok said.

Two days later, Mr. Strzok congratulated Ms. Page on two derogatory stories that appeared about Carter Page, a former Trump volunteer whom the FBI was wiretapping.

The Washington Post broke a story about the wiretap on April 11, Mr. Meadows said, which suggested Trump connections to Russia.  MORE

  1. Soooo … what everybody knows is now apparent to Congress?

    Conspiracy to defraud the American people?
    Conspiracy to derail an election?
    Conspiracy to deceive Congress?

    Proven by their own words?

    Undermining the foundations of the Republic aren’t crimes?
    WTF is wrong with us?
    I don’t mean that we should go out and kill a bunch of innocents, like the French do from time to time – but how about the guilty? Shouldn’t they be held to account? Where is this vaunted “legal” system we hear so much about? Where’s Jeff Sessions? Where’s the Federal Prosecutor for the DC area? Are they trying to push us into some kind of French (sorry, been reading de Maupassant) response?

    I don’t get it – a guy burgles a house and goes to jail (or is shot in the attempt) – but a bunch of maggotty traitorous FBI agents attempt to undermine the Republic and walk free.

    It wobbles the mind.
