Special Agent Jonathan Moffa testified last Friday behind closed doors and before the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee. Moffa said that FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants.
Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, did not come forward to the media, but according to a report by Fox News, a source familiar with his testimony has spoken about it.
The source told Fox News that Moffa acknowledged this “had been a practice in the past.”
Republicans have long questioned to what extent leaked information, related to the unverified anti-Trump dossier, was used as a basis for surveillance warrants against former Trump adviser Carter Page in 2016 — when the bureau was led by James Comey and deputy Andrew McCabe. –Fox News
When pressed by the committees on whether this was common practice at the FBI, Moffa acknowledged the FBI had at least engaged in this activity in other cases. However, the source also told Fox News that Moffa did not specifically confirm that the practice of using leaked information to bolster warrant applications was employed with regard to the dossier.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, told Fox News on Tuesday that the committee had evidence of the FBI’s practice that would be “hard to refute,” and the FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News‘ request for comment. “We know that some people at the Department of Justice and the FBI actually gave information to the media, then the stories were reported. Then they used those reports to justify further investigations,” Meadows said on “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday. “You know, that’s like saying, we’re going to incriminate on one hand, and be the jury on the other. It just doesn’t work that way.”
Meadows also took to Twitter to announce this new information
We've learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA's
Unreal. Tomorrow's Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this?

The Daily Caller was the first to report on the specifics of Moffa’s claims.
Leaked or Fabricated?
OK, who we gonna believe this time?
The two pieces of evidence used to get the FISA warrant that started this entire Trump Russia bullshit was this:
1) the fake pisser Russia dossier
2) a news paper article
I thought Probable Cause for a warrant had to be based on fact, but I guess not.
Oh hell no. That was thrown out decades ago.
JS, the FBI is a state-sanctioned terrorist organization similar to KGB, Gestapo, etc. They’ve always been above the law and always will be. Nothing they do is legitimate.
Until they start prosecuting this and putting all these SOBs in prison, its just a dog and pony show. I want to see that old hag Hillary behind bars for treason. We have a phony justice system. Justice needs to be fast and swift otherwise it just keeps happening. Put hillary in jail now. Time served can be adjusted later before her firing squad. Round em all up now, then sort out the details.
The Chicoms read ALL of her e-mails. Obama sent her at least 100 e-mails on that server.
So much for national security.
The options for them should be;
a. Lethal injection
b. Firing squad
c. Gas chamber
d. 24 hour solitary confinement in a cell with copperheads and floor mattresses.
After a few hours of option d, they would beg for options a, b, and c.
Yep, lock her up now! Until the Klintons are charged for their crimes, there is no law and justice.
Prison is too good for these kinds of goons. Your wasting everybody’s time. Waste them. A trial and justice it too complex an idea for these thugs. God, this sh*t has to stop. When does it stop?

Especially the narco trafficking. You think the ghetto folks would wise up by now.
Can’t discriminate here. The white trash, too.
John: It just shows how ‘Xucked’ this country really is anymore folks!! WE Must have a true and thorough PURGE!!!

THIS ARTICLE HAS ME LITERALLY SHAKING WITH RAGE
BABY BOOMERS ARE SO SICK, TWISTED, VILE, AND EVIL THAT IT DEFIES COMPREHENSION
I remember when Vlad Putin said the US Government was nothing more than a criminal enterprise. This was under the Abomination.
I thought that his sentiment summed it up nicely, plus he would know.
He does know because he had to pay off Hillary for the Uranium.
Justice, Putin was right about the US govt. He should know, having served in the Soviet regime as a member of the KGB secret police, an organization with blood on its hands and always terrorizing the Russian people in order to preserve the communist system. FBI reminds me of the KGB, Gestapo, etc. No saints anywhere these days it seems.
If you read about the efficacy of fingerprints. Or the individual spread of genetic material , and the main stream media full spectrum dominance . Doesn’t seem it would be hard to make any viable desenter disappear? You just got to spot them before they get too popular. If they won’t take an offer they can’t refuse.
I just hope Putin is one of those guys , like hopefully we got guys ,just waiting for their chance to exterminate the traitors .?
Guys: Gov’t is a 4-letter word and God knows it is NO damn Good at all period.
“Obamanation?” LOL.

Putin for President. F*ck this sh*t.
Wonder if there will be any real consequences, not just some petty stuff, for anyone over this?

JESUS H CHRIST YOU BOOMERS ARE SICK FREAKS
WHAT IS WRONG WITH BOOMERS??????
WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. BABY. BOOMERS.
Complete circular reasoning.
They leak the info to the press.
Then the press publishes it on the news media, paper, TV internet,
And then, the FBI takes the news articles which they helped “invent” to the FISA judge to use to get a warrant against someone?
If that isn’t illegal it sure as heck needs to be.
Its so clearly an example of the US Government’s “In your Face Tyrannical Lawlessness.”
Tree of liberty in dire need of watering folks.
Keep your powder dry.
Someone other than Santa Claus needs to be making a list and checking it twice.
this is the same cabal that wants us to give up our guns and put the government in control of the health system
no thanks
I have watched Mark Meadows make good
decisions….he is a good honest man. He seems
to know more about what goes on in DC than
we are privileged to know. I trust him.
The FBI (FIB) not so much…..

Moffa More like Mo-Fo.
The FBI in the past back in the 80’s ands 90’s were a good bunch.
But when the Clintons got in it went to HELL, and hasn’t gotten any better. What a shame.
Sgt.
Clintons are a genuine cancer, a plague actually, that needs to be surgically removed and completely destroyed once and for all. Enough is enough people.
People need to be put in jail, only then does this crap slow down or cease. No punishment means you can do what you want.
I think we should turn GITMO loose on these thugs. Torture. The works. And then send their heads back to their bosses.

We are long overdue for some serious re-organization.
Lindsay Ellis. Remember her face.
Lindsay Ellis white genocide. Her first.
The Conservative Treehouse site has had this info for a long time. The Deep State actors started a rumor, then leaked it to the press, and then used that as evidence to get a FISA warrant. This is total BS. Felony charges need to be brought. A long time ago.
Man, this crap is like high school, except the adults are doing it.
This is 1000 times worse than Watergate.
Try “light years” worse.
This is how you attempt a coup de’tat (takeover or change of govt. Who is policing the watchers?
Jesus Christmas. Why the h*ll isn’t somebody in authority burning these Deep State Goons to the ground?
I would have like to believe that 30-years ago this type of crap would have resulted in a lot of thugs being summarily wiped out, with extreme prejudice.
Maybe that figure is closer to 50-years ago. Maybe 80-years. H*ll the figure is probably closer to NEVER. A big fat ZERO. This country has always been this corrupt and just plain, flat out evil.
For crying out loud. When does the BS stop?
When Americans, (and I use that term loosely) take responsibility for their own crap and come together and drag the scum into the streets and hang their evil asses. This BS stops, when people get their collective asses off the couch, from in front of the tele-vision pro-graming and the stupid I-phones, that’s when.
I realize this is chess, not checkers but there needs to be some movement from our newest fearless leader to show some legitimacy regarding the ol’ drain the swamp rhetoric.
I know we’re hearing nothing regarding what is actually happening in the WH, DOJ, FBI, CIA or any other letter combination you can think of thanks to the marxist journalists and their editors who focus everyone away from the more important things but C’MON!! Move some pieces around the board! All we see is questionable liaisons, interesting tweets and posturing.
Until big names like Hillary and some senior FBI staffers are prosecuted or Soros is labeled a traitor and has his assets seized and citizenship revoked, I feel it de-legitimizes all these minor good being done. Sort of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, if you catch my drift.
I know they say the economy is picking up but I don’t feel it. The middle class has been wiped out so it doens’t matter how many new McDonald’s jobs are created. We’ve allowed those in office to make this a third-world country in one generation.
Now the communists that comprise the ‘swamp’ are working overtime to flood the country with illegals from anywhere but most importantly, any country hostile to the US. These embedded migrants will drain our resources faster than any uptick in the economy can cover. Coupled with the fact we can no longer walk the streets of our own cities and towns or take a casual jog without being murdered or raped by one of these ‘dreamers’ speaks to where we stand as a nation. And don’t even consider defending yourself….
I hope this doens’t turn into a “Trump could’ve…” presidency. I truly do. If they put Obama back up against him, the communists and marxists will move heaven and earth to put him back in office. Then this conversation and all other conversations are over.
FBI= CPUSA version of the NKVD
