An FBI agent reportedly told members of Congress in a closed-door interview on Friday that the FBI and the Department of Justice leaked stories to the media and then used those stories to justify obtaining a warrant to secretly surveil people close to Donald Trump.
A source who was at Friday’s interview told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Chuck Ross that FBI Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees that “the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press and then used stories from the press as justifications for FISA warrants.”
On Monday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-North Carolina) tweeted that members of Congress had learned that in an effort to get a warrant to clandestinely surveil Trump’s campaign associates, the DOJ and FBI used news stories filled with information they themselves had leaked to these news outlets to obtain a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

If true, someone committed perjury.
This agency is toxic. The DOJ/FBI needs to be trashed.
I will give you odds that there will be NO prosecution of those responsible. Sessions needs to be sent packing.
The Justice department ‘ ‘just Us’, no one else matters
Steven Halper now this.
Fascinating that the US Atty for the Southern District of NY can find a fraud case for a guy who supposedly overstated his building’s value (does anyone know what a building is worth until it’s sold?) but government agents defrauding the most secret court in the US is not even on their radar.
Fascinating.
At this point I think (sarcastically) that Jeff Sessions does not exist. The person using his name is merely a chimera.
You are correct sir. Everyone will walk, unfortunately.
Why, that sounds like a crime, Mabel!
Right?.......................
They will continue searching the backgrounds of anyone associated with President Trump for 10 year old paperwork crimes but ignore this type of devastating abuse of power. And this will be multiplied times 10 if the Democrats take control of the house.
Attention Attorney General Jeff Sessions. If you are reading this, you might look in and see if there has been a crime committed.
Wow.
This is a serious abuse of power, not to mention separation of powers in the Constitution.
THIS IS CRIMINAL
WHO IS GOING TO JAIL?
Jump right in Sessions ,anytime now ,still waiting
And the MSM is in on the collusion here.
This is the beginning of the Pro-Trump DOJ and the preliminary shot to the October Surprise by President Trump. He must of noticed how you all here and elsewhere were growing very impatient with him bringing the Swamp down:-)
“An FBI agent reportedly told members of Congress in a closed-door interview on Friday that the FBI and the Department of Justice leaked stories to the media and then used those stories to justify obtaining a warrant to secretly surveil people close to Donald Trump.”
Since it’s all ok to Jeff Sessions then this kind of information is academic.
However, the headline will be: "Mark Meadows (R-NC) leaked highly confidential, closed-door testimony in an effort to thwart mueller's divinely-inspired investigation of evil."
“At this point I think (sarcastically) that Jeff Sessions does not exist. The person using his name is merely a chimera.”
He recused himself from the entirety of his duies and the place is run by Rosenstein/Mueller with cameo appearances here and there by Wray. It is a Pink Panther farce minus the humor.y
