Strzok-Page texts on 'media leakage strategy' fuel Trump fierceness at DOJ: 'ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is being done'



Newly released text messages revealing anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok as well as Lisa Page going over a "media leak strategy" amidst the Russia probe rekindled rough objection from President Trump of Justice Department and FBI management-- also as Strzok's attorney asserted the message simply referred to efforts to stop leaks.

" So awful as well as NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI - however the globe is enjoying, and also they get it entirely," Trump tweeted Tuesday, in reference to a Fox News report regarding the texts.


In a brand-new letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., Raised "serious worries" concerning an "noticeable systemic culture of media dripping" among top-level FBI and also Justice Department authorities to release information damaging to Trump. He mentioned two text exchanges in April 2017 in between now-fired FBI agent Strzok and also former FBI attorney Page, where both review the bureau's "media leak approach."

" I had actually literally just mosted likely to find this phone to tell you I wish to talk with you regarding media leakage technique with DOJ before you go," Strzok texted Page on April 10, 2017, inning accordance with Meadows, that pointed out newly generated records from the Justice Department.

In reaction to the most up to date letter as well as Trump tweet, though Strzok attorney Aitan Goelman claimed the line in question described an effort to quit leakages as well as charged the president of deceptive individuals.

" The term 'media leak technique' in Mr. Strzok's text describes a Department-wide effort to detect and also stop leakages to the media. The President and his enablers are again peddling unproven conspiracy theory theories to misguide the American People," he stated in a statement.

On April 22, though, Strzok wrote, "short article is out! Well done, Page," as well as on April 12 he told her that 2 adverse write-ups about Page's "namesake" would certainly quickly come out, according to Meadows. That was an apparent referral to Carter Page, the former Trump advisor which the FBI surveilled for months after getting a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court. Meadows' initial letter to Rosenstein stated the "Well done, Page" text was sent out on April 12, but in an upgraded letter Tuesday, he stated that it in fact happened later in the month.

On April 11, 2017, the Washington Post published a story labelled, "FBI acquired FISA warrant to check previous Trump consultant Carter Page. The write-up, mentioning "law enforcement and also other U.S. officials," reported that the DOJ and FBI had persuaded a FISA judge there was "likely cause to believe Page was serving as a representative of a foreign power, in this situation Russia."

The text-message exchanges "need to lead a reasonable individual to examine whether there was an honest need to check out misdeed or to position bad info in the media to justify a continued probe," Meadows, that offers on the House Oversight Committee, created.

Meadows' letter to Rosenstein likewise requested messages in between numerous FBI as well as DOJ officials, as well as numbers like Strzok, Page and also top Russia probe private investigator Andrew Weissmann.

Trump's most recent jab at the DOJ, over these texts, comes as he consistently fumes at Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his choice to recuse himself from the Russia probe - last month, Trump prompted the AG to examine Strzok and also Page as well as others tied to the beginning of that examination.

Procedure has held firm, putting out a remarkable declaration last month after Trump called on him to take control of the DOJ saying: "While I am Attorney General, the activities of the Department of Justice will not be improperly affected by political factors to consider."

Carter Page has actually not been charged with any misdeed. Heavily redacted files have because revealed that a dossier created by ex-British spy Christopher Steele as well as funded by the Democratic National Committee and also Hillary Clinton campaign played a crucial function in acquiring the FISA warrant to surveil him beginning in October 2016.

The FBI as well as DOJ decreased to talk about the most recent letter.

It follows Meadows last month touched off a firestorm by declaring on Twitter that his workplace had information recommending the FBI leaked information to journalism as well as utilized the resulting short articles in order to help acquire monitoring warrants.

An FBI official pushed back at the time, but Meadows mainly waited his cases, saying, "We have emails and messages simply showing the FBI leaks to the media."

At The Same Time, Carter Page blew up the supposed "leakage" practice after the release of the most recent messages.

" It's not concerning me," he told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "They're simply trying to reach the Trump administration and the Trump project."
