Peter Strzok has been fired from his job at the FBI, but the hits from his text messages to his former mistress, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, just keep on coming.
In the latest development, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., has written a letter to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, disclosing that the latest documents provided to his committee by the Justice Department contained Strzok-Page texts that revealed "An apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at the FBI and DOJ related to ongoing investigations."
Meadows, who chairs the subcommittee on government operations of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, was referring to a text on April 10, 2017, in which Strzok tells Page that he wants to talk to her "About [a] media leak strategy with DOJ.".
On April 12, the day after the story broke, Strzok sent Lisa Page another text message that, according to Meadows, congratulated her for a job "Well done," while referring to two derogatory articles about Carter Page.
One of his findings was that FBI agents "Widely ignored" the FBI's policy against disclosure of confidential information about law enforcement investigations.
During our interviews with Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, FBI attorneys consistently suggested witnesses could not answer questions due to the U.S. Attorneys' Manual's policy for ongoing investigations.
Did they happen, and, if so, why? Who authorized them? What was the purpose? What confidential information was revealed? Did those communications reveal any bias by Weissmann that might affect the integrity of the ongoing investigation? Were any media stories used in any FISA applications to justify electronic surveillance?
