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.

To your points:
#1 Trump has hinted at, but continues to delay releasing the unredacted FISA docs. They could have easily been “sanitized” and readied for release by now. This delay is depriving investigators vital information necessary to make linkages between people and establish timelines, not to mention new investigative leads. The FISA docs are critical and must be released as quickly as possible. Countless Trump supporters have pleaded with him to do this.
#2 is not going to happen. Sessions is either part of the cabal or is enabling it. Either way, he’s not getting engaged.
He can’t help hisself.............
Strzok will not be prosecuted because he was just doing what his bosses wanted him to do, and because it would not be fair to prosecute him, and not prosecute Hillary.
President Trump declassifying documents will also help bring down this evil cabal.

Yes it unquestionably would. So the question is: why haven’t they been released?
There is no reason to delay the release of this information. It could have been done long ago. I realize there is some very sensitive information contained within these docs, but most of the redactions by the DOJ and FBI were made for political reasons, not because of concerns over national security.
It is apparent to me that some conflicted people in the administration are acting to prevent the release of the unredacted documents. Trump needs to override them and get on with exposing the cabal.
What’s love got to do with it?
My standard thought on every single revelation that comes out on this is.....so???? What’s anyone going to do about it?!?! Then I yawn.
Mueller dons ear plugs and blinders so much for enforcing the law.
Why are they not in jail. Or at least indicted?
Is perjury a crime? I think it is. I know it is.
And there is now no doubt, zero doubt, that Strzok perjured himself with his Congressional testimony. He stated that he could have destroyed the Trump campaign if had leaked info on the Trump-Russia investigation. He stated that, being an honest and fair man, he didn’t.
He lied.
The fact that he had Page do the actual leaking is not exoneration, it is conspiracy tacked on to perjury.
Well, I guess this explains why the left regards these two as “heroes.”
Seems to me the best time declassify would be closer to the election.
Let the Demonrats keep marching closer and closer toward an “assured” victory on Capitol Hill, and then have NO time to regroup after Trump launches a REAL bombshell!
Yep as bad as they were it looks like Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr are coming clean and can help us put the bad guys in prison...If we/Trump administration can find people in the DOJ who will prosecute and not eff up the case intentionally.
This implicates Obama and many in his administration.
btt
Start arresting the “media” figures who received the false reports from these two and ran with it.
I understand that, and there’s some merit to that argument. My concern is that doing this gives the Dems and their allies in the media more time to fabricate stories and keep pounding him. I like the idea of keeping your enemy on defense.
Another thing to consider is that this isn’t just about political games. Its about sedition. This is extremely serious stuff and something that needs to be fully exposed and punished without day. The cabal is busy right this moment preparing their defenses and devising ways to continue undermining Trump. He needs to get them before they get him.
Is this the same Strzok that the IG Report said was unbiased? How is that possible? I thought there was no bias in any of his actions?
Listened to Andrew McCarthy last night on Ingram.
His opinion was to not get too far ahead on this aspect of the story. Said that often LEOs will selectively leak info to media to see the reaction of targets. Called it “tickling the wires”.
Not defending the slimy lovers and their cohorts, just waiting to see exactly what this is.
That may be true, and possibly legit for some reasons, but this was squarely aimed at denigrating the Trump Campaign and then the Presidency. Leapfrogging the intel via false info in FISA warrant applications that was backed up by PLANTED false info in the media that THEY PUT OUT!.................
