The FBI uses media "leaks" or "feeds" the media information for their own purposes all the time. It is often used to generate information, or to "smoke out " a suspect, or to make a known suspect feel "safe" so he comes out in the open. Etc., etc. You can be pretty sure that ANY TIME an agent of the FBI makes a public appearance and speaks publicly about an ongoing investigation, it is for THEIR benefit...NOT yours. Whatever you are told is intended to produce a result for THEM. Even discussing ongoing investigations or confirming investigations exist is not allowed without higher permission and only then when it benefits the FBI. Basic "spycraft" So...they are VERY GOOD AT IT. And, used properly, it can be an affective crime fighting tool.
In this case, again, we see that agents of the FBI used their "tools"...very powerful tools...for political purposes and THAT is wrong. It would also seem to indicate that Strzoks testimony in Congress, that he did not allow his political bias to affect his work, is a LIE.
