Daily Caller ^ | 6/14/2018 | Joe Simonson

The Department of Justice inspector general identified a number of instances where FBI employees regularly spoke with members of the media and received a number of free perks from journalists including meals and tickets to various events.

On page XII in the report, the IG says the department “identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters.”

The IG expressed “profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered our review.”

The contact between FBI agents and the media extended to receiving “improperly receiving benefits from reporters, including tickets to sporting events, golfing outings, drinks and meals, and admittance to nonpublic social events.”

And I’m sure the FBI bought drinks, etc for the media.

It’s called the SWAMP. Rabid lefties hanging out together. Is this a surprise to anyone?

Early leaks set the tone for it to a nothing burger. Now when these people get indicted people will scream and shout.
