FBI leaked info, used stories to get FISA warrants


So..Agent A goes to a reporter and anonymously reports that Subject X is breaking the law, despite not having any evidence, or worse yet, obtained evidence illegally.

Reporter runs the story

Agent A says 'the news reported on it, we have reason to believe it's true and we need to investigate it', and *poof* gets a warrant.


...and I thought Hoover was bad

...says a "Republican congressman"...because "his office had information suggesting the FBI leaked information to the press and used the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants."
Strangely, the FBI says nuh-uh...

Sometimes I post stuff on WaGuns, then tell people it must be true because it's on the internet.

Well, it is only true if it is on Wa Guns.

Everyone knows the rest of the internet is Russian or Chinese hacker fake news.
