New documents provided to Congress raise “grave concerns” about an “apparent systemic culture of media leaking” among high-level FBI and Justice Department officials to release information damaging to President Trump, a top Republican congressman charged in a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Monday.
In the letter, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., points in particular to two text message exchanges in April 2017 between now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page, in which the two discuss the bureau's "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," Strzok texted Page on April 10, 2017, according to Meadows, who cited newly produced documents from the Justice Department.
Two days later, Strzok wrote, "Well done, Page," and told her that two negative articles about Page's "namesake" would soon come out. That was an apparent reference to Carter Page, the former Trump adviser whom the FBI surveilled for months after obtaining a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.

Is it legal? Evidently it must be if he is not charged and convicted.
Worst thing is that we’re the only ones who know about this. Us and a smattering of Twitter users who are mostly blocked from any real news with quality filters. The Heartland has no idea any of this is happening in thinks Trump is spreading conspiracies. If This Were Obama all the news agencies on radio internet cable and newsprint would be beating the drum every day until the public could quote the talking points. Someday our US history books may go through this crime by crime in the unit on 21st century corruption that President Trump cleaned up in his first term. Or we won’t even have elected Presidents by then depending how this goes.
...The arrogance of these slimeballs to commit this to text messages KNOWING that they would be able to “accidentally lose” the backups...
Makes you wonder who else they have been targeting. And why.
Something is seriously, seriously wrong with that man. /Captain Obvious
IMHO, since the common perception of the Watergate narrative is a gross distortion of reality, a comparison of the two is like comparing a dog to a rock…. not even close. I highly recommend "Silent Coup, The Removal of a President" by Len Colodny for probably the best book on what Watergate was all about….. http://www.watergate.com/

This may well be seditious.
the collusion of the FakeNewsMSM in the Spygate affair is the reason they ceaselessly attack the President daily, as a means to avoid having to cover the almost-daily revelations coming out about the biggest political scandal in US history.
who will investigate the FakeNewsMSM?
Then where is the special council to investigate this collusion? Is Sessions really a member of the Team “Sink Trump”?
