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.
During a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees on Friday, Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told congressional investigators that the FBI and Justice Department have leaked stories to the press and then used them to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
“He more or less admitted that the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press and then used stories from the press as justifications for FISA warrants,” a source who took part in Moffa’s interview told TheDCNF.

All these stories will come to an end if the dimoKKKRATS take over the House. They do not want their dirty deeds exposed.
The rot is much deeper than I expected. Guess I was naive.
Lets start building the gallows on the commons just in case.
That would be a planted story, not a leaked story.
The FBI seems like a bunch of crooks - its like crime but organized
Perhaps we should start a new sport to see how fast opposing teams can build a gallows - competitions could be held on the Mall.
Stasi bastards.
Aren’t they making a new FBI television series? Maybe they should highlight actual FBI procedures like this.
WHAAAAAAAAAA????
You mean Caroline Orr of David Brock’s Shareblue Media is full of sh!t???
Alrighty, then.
These judges must be feeling like utter fools if they have a scintilla of honor.
How can any decent person vote for a Demon?
Let the Knives come out.
In other words, Michael Isikoff and other “reporters” who participated in this knowing they were fronting for an FBI operation were actually committing acts of espionage, acts against the American people and our interests.
In other words, “enemies of the people”.
Literal. Actual. Not figuratively at all.
Get the rope.
Without A President willing to fight for his very Presidency, this is all just for naught. And so far, all I see is Twitter frenzy, backed up with hot air.
And it would not surprise me if it was perfectly legal except that they obviously did not disclose it to the fisa court.
Exactly. Enemies of the people, not shining the light on corruption and tyranny but egging it on, glorifying it. Good post.

Like what was it, the Steele Dossier leaked to Michael Isikoff of Yahoo “News”?
And then using that as justification for FISA warrants?
And then James Comey leaking info to the press via a friend?
These people need hard, serious, long-term prison time. And the inmates should know they manufacture evidence against people trying to frame them. They will not have a good time, especially once word is spread around.
