[PJ] Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed on Fox News Wednesday that as many as thirteen different FBI officials were leaking to one reporter, according to the Department of Justice inspector general’s report on the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation.
He presented that information to push back against spin from fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s lawyer, who claimed that an April 2017 text message referring to the FBI's "media strategy" was about combating leaks.
"The argument that Mr. Strzok’s making just doesn’t hold water, doesn’t pass the smell test," Jordan said.
Newly revealed text messages show Strzok discussing media leaks with his paramour, former FBI attorney Lisa Page. "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," one of the texts reads. |
