Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said one-time FBI Agent Peter Strzok\u2019s email citing a \u201cleak strategy”\u00a0was not meant as a way to curb agency leaks.<\/p>\n
“It’s much more plausible that he was talking about a strategy designed to leak things selectively to the media to achieve the goal (Donald Trump’s election loss) he set up for himself,” Dershowitz told\u00a0Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight”\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>on Tuesday.<\/p>\n He said any claim to the contrary \u201cjust doesn’t pass the giggle test.”<\/p>\n Strzok\u2019s use of the term was revealed in texts exchanged between him and ex-FBI attorney Lisa Page.<\/p>\n Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., in a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, pointed out two texts in particular where Strzok and Pagediscuss the agency\u2019s \u201cleak strategy.”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Dershowitz maintained ex-FBI Director James Comey \u201claundered\u201d privileged information through a professor at Columbia University in order to leak it to the press.<\/p>\n And President Donald Trump echoed Dershowitz\u2019s comments on the leaking in a pair of tweets Tuesday night.\u201cYou know who\u2019s at fault for this more than anyone else, Comey, because he leaked information and laundered it through a professor at Columbia Law School. Shame on that professor, and shame on Comey. He snuck the information to a law professor who collaborated with him in……..<\/p>\n \u201c….giving the information, and causing the appointment of a Special C without having the courage of his own convictions…..\u2019Alan Dershowitz @TuckerCarlson In other words, the whole thing was illegally and very unfairly set up?\u201d<\/p>\n
