An FBI special agent told Congress earlier in August that the bureau has used leaked news stories as justifications to obtain surveillance warrants against American citizens, a source familiar with the testimony tells The Daily Caller News Foundation.
During a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees on Friday, Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told congressional investigators that the FBI and Justice Department have leaked stories to the press and then used them to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
He more or less admitted that the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press and then used stories from the press as justifications for FISA warrants, a source who took part in Moffas interview told TheDCNF.

Just like the old Soviet Union. Tell us again that we won that conflict. It sounds as though the DOJ and FBI simply adopted the tactics that the Communist Party used against its dissenters.
It’s good to have this story out there but it shouldn’t be news.
The Obama administration, under their own impulse and driven by Hillary’s evil heart, were already freely and illegally spying on everyone.
At some level there must have been felt some pushback that caused higher ups to say “we need a cover story for this”.
Probably Blumenthal sketched the outline of the dossier plotline and they, Sid Vicious and Hillary, went to Brennan to get it planted as predicate evidence for FISA.
FISC didn’t buy it first time so they planted a maleable judge on FISC and with more press ‘stories’ to pad out the application got the new FISC judge to rubber stamp the FISA warrant.
Meanwhile, Brennan and Mueller are running any number of intel ops at Trump’s people, hoping to catch them at something - anything - that can be used to keep investigating.
Definitely the FBI needs to disappear in it’s entirety. If the FBI is so full of highly respected professionals all doing their jobs, where are all the whistle blowers like we had come forward from the intelligence agencies during GWB Presidency? I am tired of hearing about Hannity’s love of the FBI and only the top echelon on is to blame for this corruption - hog wash. These FBI/DOJ folk have never heard of qui tam law and associated attorneys? I ain’t buying it and the FBI should be shut down this afternoon and started all over.
The DOJ and FBI are corrupt.
5.56mm
There should be a separation between state and media
I wonder how Democrats would feel if the FBI use a Sean Hannity newscast as evidence for a FISA warrant against Hillary Clinton?
They’d raise hell and it would be stopped.
Can’t wait until Trump leaks stories about Obama and Frankie Boy; Bill and Hill and their activities in regards to the Lollita Express! Maybe leak some more about Emails from EU Govts who funneled money into the Clinton Foundations. Leak about the Obama Foundations and foreign monies. Then have his select teams raid all known residences and properties at 2 am and take them into “Manford” confinement!!!
Every American needs to respond in the following way.
1) Do not talk to the FBI. If you do they’ll just twist your words and come after you for a process crime anyway.
2) If seated on a jury and ANY of the evidence was in FBI custody, you must vote to acquit.
Do that over and over on a large scale, and the FBI will wither and die.
The rank and file agents had to know this. Why have they kept quiet?

Yeah why dont the Dims want to abolish fbi rather than ICE?
/S
Leaked news stories is a false description.
The FIB planted ‘news’ items.
Fake news
Didnt the fired fibber remark about planting news items? Comey did too.
We’ve known for over a year that they used this tactic.
Isn’t that what Mark Felt did with Watergate?
In exchange for ‘leaks’ the press gives biased reporting rights... in the old days newspapers weren’t dependent on corrupt assh*kes in the FBI and Democrat Party for leaks...NOW THEY ARE DEPENDENT....
That’s wrong.
Laws must be changed... leakers from the FBI need to be fired. Period. Same with the rest of the corrupt intelligence thugs... If anyone’s going to ‘sell’ intelligence it’ll be the American people who get the profit from now on... not common thieves trading WHAT TAXPAYERS PAY TO COLLECT for favor and power for themselves. ARREST THE CRIMINALS... THE ‘LEGAL’ THIEVES...
We’re sick of this crap and we want the people we elect TO PROTECT US - TO PROTECT US - NOT TO PROTECT CORRUPT LIBERAL ELTIES AND THEIR GOONS IN ‘INTELLIGENCE’...
By the way, piss OFF the LEFTIST Censors. They are all FREE, so download all 10 or so!

FBI originally was to aid in interstate pursuit of fleeing felons. All criminal law should be state, except treason.
The danger for this sort of tactics was clear and present when J. Edgar Hoover founded the FBI. Chickens have come home to roost.
Because unlike the F_I, ICE does want to do its job!
