A top FBI special agent admitted to House committees last week that bureau officials were known to leak information to the press and then use the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants.

Special Agent Jonathan Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, testified last Friday behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee.

A source with knowledge of his testimony confirmed to Fox News that Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants.


The source told Fox News that Moffa acknowledged this “had been a practice in the past.”

What’s amazing is that this was discussed in the Mega Q thread 1000 pages ago but now it’s all the sudden “news.”


Glad its finally getting attention though.

And an honest, American loving Patriot who wants to see it fixed, so our Nation can move forward toward un-equaled prosperity.

I suspect there will be a wave of 'whistleblowers' at some point. That will be the end of the Progressive Deep State, as well as a lot of RINOs who enabled it by standing down.

Proggies applaud these actions as long as the right team's rights are being violated.

This is absolutely scary.

So this means several media outlets are complicit and they know it. That also explains all their outrage. If anyone on the right has balls, they are going down too.

Maybe now people will understand why so many support Trump. Any other R would sit back and let it happen.

I want names named and photos posted online to know what these pieces of trash look like. They should be afraid to walk the street.

Well, that is criminal activity.

Everyone connected to that FISA, and its renewals, should go to prison.

Half the population believes it was justified, given the danger of Trump at the Wheel. They've abandoned Equal Justice/Rule of Law...so...all that remains to be seen if whether Trump is willing to bring the 'heat', and risk highly likely blood in the streets.

Will be interesting to see how the consummate 'deal maker' finesses this. My bet, He'll let em' walk - all but the worst, Obama and Hillary exempted of course, for obvious reasons - if They'll (what's left) let Him clean out the Bureaucracy. Already flipping the Courts...and with a booming economy...is virtual anarchy worth it? No...IMHO. Too costly. Learn, forgive, and move forward.

That was obvious. They used the articles based on their leaks as independent 3rd party sources to help justify their FISA warrants. It's a lie bolstered by the same lie.
