Chuck Ross: FBI Agent Told Congress That the Bureau Leaked Stories to the Press, and Would Then Use Press Write-Ups as "Independent" Sources to Justify FISA WarrantsI think I read that somewhere. An FBI special agent told Congress earlier in August that the bureau has used leaked news stories as justifications to obtain surveillance warrants against American citizens, a source familiar with the testimony tells The Daily Caller News Foundation. More or less admitted. Keep that in mind, because there's a correction/clarification to the original reporting that pushes heavily on that "more or less" admitted claim. ... Since the first publication of this article, the FBI has bothered to respond, and vigorously denies the report. Chuck Ross updates his article to include the FBI's denials and to print a clarification of what his sources told him. But an FBI official disputed the claims about Moffa's testimony, and TheDCNF's source is acknowledging that he did not explicitly say that the FBI has leaked information to the press that is later used to obtain FISAs. So, if I understand this: The source now says he didn't mean to say the FBI explicitly admitted using media stories, which they actually planted with their own leaks, to justify warrants. He is saying, rather, that the FBI admits they use media reports to buttress their own claims/reports, and we know from all the disclosures this year that they do leak to the media to have their claims published. And I guess he's saying we can therefore infer that they sometimes leak and then use the products of those leaks (media reports) to buttress their claims. And you can also look at the Steele leak to Yahoo knews, and the FBI's subsequent inclusion of that leak as "independent" sourcing of Steele's dossier to justify a FISA warrant, to infer that this was in fact done, deliberately, in the Trump/Page FISA warrant case. It's not "admitted" as Chuck Ross' source first claimed, but there's a very strong implication of it. By the way: On Bret Baier, he remarked of Bruce Ohr's testimony today that it was marked by pronounced memory gaps. | Recent Comments
