FBI OFFICIALS DISCUSSED ‘MEDIA LEAK STRATEGY’ AHEAD OF MAJOR TRUMP-RUSSIA REVELATION

Peter Strzok sent Lisa Page a text message about “media leak strategy” during a key point in the Trump-Russia probe.

Strzok sent the message just before The Washington Post published a bombshell story about the FBI obtaining surveillance warrants against Carter Page.

North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows says the messages raise “grave concerns” about an “apparent systemic culture of leaking” at the FBI and DOJ.

Newly released text messages show disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok asked to speak to former FBI lawyer Lisa Page about a “media leak strategy” during a crucial period of the Trump-Russia investigation in 2017.

The text messages were revealed Monday by North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, a member of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee.

“Our review of these new documents raises grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at the FBI and DOJ related to ongoing investigations,” Meadows wrote to U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in the letter, which was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation and first reported by Sara Carter.

Meadows pointed to text messages Strzok sent to Page on April 10, 2017, and April 12, 2017.

Crimes aren't crimes when FBI agents commit them.

The only thing want to know is when sessions will have them arrested for sedition and treason. That’s it.

"Meadows pointed to text messages Strzok sent to Page on April 10, 2017, and April 12, 2017."

At some point, didn't Lisa Page send a text back to Strzok telling him not to text her any more? Where did I hear that, or did I just make it up?

If she really did tell him that, how does it fit into this timeline? After what and before what?

Just axin'.

They all really believed they had nothing to fear from an already-assured Clinton II presidency.

Groupthink, although the “Definers” only attribute that to Republicans.

Cocksure in their immunity from a charge of sedition. It has to be. No one is stupid enough to put that in writing

Are they?

There is a long history of Agencies....doing this. Get the MSM to throw it out there...and watch the sharks circle..and the public convicts them...before they can go to court.

Same thing happens to "R" politicians...

The FBI could rely on their cohorts at the Compost to set up a smear.

The leftwing media and their government have played the American people and their Representatives like puppets on a string...with impunity, for decades.

How much more “grave concerns” are we going to have before the laws of the nation are enforced?
