New Strzok-Page texts reveal others were ‘leaking like mad’ in lead up to Trump-Russia probe
FOX News ^ | By Brooke Singman

New text messages between ex-FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal others were "leaking like mad" in the run-up to the Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to new communications between the former lovers obtained exclusively by Fox News.

A lengthy exchange dated Dec. 15, 2016 appears to reveal a potential leak operation for “political” purposes.

“Oh, remind me to tell you tomorrow about the times doing a story about the rnc hacks,” Page texted Strzok.

“And more than they already did? I told you Quinn told me they pulling out all the stops on some story…” Strzok replied.

A source told Fox News “Quinn” could be referring to Richard Quinn, who served as the chief of the Media and Investigative Publicity Section in the Office of Public Affairs. Quinn could not be reached for comment.

Strzok again replied: “Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried, and political, they’re kicking into overdrive.”

In one passage, Strzok apparently misreads a reference to "rnc" as "mc," and then, realizing his error, blames "old man eyes."

It is unclear at this point to whom Strzok was referring when he used the term “sisters.”

'Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried, and political, they’re kicking into overdrive.' - Peter Strzok to Lisa Page

Retired FBI special agent and former FBI national spokesman John Iannarelli told Fox News it could be a reference to another government agency.

“Sisters is an odd phrase to use,” Iannarelli told Fox News Wednesday. “It could be any intelligence agency or any other federal law enforcement agency. The FBI works with all of them because, post 9/11, it’s all about cooperation and sharing.”

Yup, the FBI was all about cooperation and sharing. Mostly with journalists but sometimes with intel agencies too, when they needed someone to support one of their leaks.

Proof again that journalists are too lazy to actually do reporting, they just cut and paste the latest journo-list pap and punch it up a bit.

“Oh, remind me to tell you tomorrow about the times doing a story about the rnc hacks,” Page texted Strzok..and yet Strzok thinks the public is so stupid that it will believe his story that the "leak strategy" was all about preventing leaks - and dupes like Judge Napoliano (or whatever) on Fox actually agree with him - the arrogance, the ignorance are astounding.....

Does anyone have info about specific stories tied to the leaks? If so those authors need the Manafort treatment.

So if a ditsy stupid little girl with a name like “Reality” goes to jail for walking out with a document that she gives to the press, how come all these 40-something bureaucrats pulling this s**t walk?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

One text said (paraphrase) ‘two stories are out! Way to go, Page!’.......does that sound, TO ANYONE, that they were trying to prevent leaks?? Strzok really thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and we are all dufuses.

The sisters reference could be to the Graeae, sisters that shared one eye and one tooth.

It sounds like "sister" intelligence agencies that share the eye, i.e., "Five Eyes" in this case, but one common and shared, spying purpose.

Perhaps Brits, under Robert Hannigan’s control and/or Steele’s influence.

That's right! Also we are NOT paying FBI/CIA/NSA to LEAK, info to fake "news media", or to anybody else. Nobody likes a leaker.

I heard the Judge just this morning saying that we didn’t know enough to say that Strzok and Page were up to no good - okay, he didn’t flatly support the two, but he apparently hadn’t heard the story sequence of Strozok talking about the “leak strategy”, the appearance the very next day of a “leaked” story about Papodopoulis, and the next day’s text of Strzok telling Page “well done” - and that was before the latest text revelations talking about specific leaks certainly not in a condemnatory manner - According to the crawl on NewsMax a few minutes ago, Dershowitz apparently came out today saying he thinks Strzok was deliberately trying to hurt Trump - I think his judgment is closer to the truth than Napoliano’s.....

For decades intelligence agents have known that ‘sisters’ relates to the FBI and CIA. Not the DIA, not the NSC, nor any other acronym.

They are not journalists and they are not lazy. They are co-conspirators to take down the President of the United States. Wikileaks published documents from the DNC Server and Podesta's computer that demonstrated conclusively the close working relationship and coordination between the Dems and the MSM, which is just as much a part of the attempted coup as Obama, Hillary, and Deep State.
