      Barrett is second (of three), and it is also sourced to "other U.S. officials," which sounds like Congress. Indeed, GOP has been at least as interested in this as anyone else.

      How would congress know about FISA warrant? Even if they did, at some point, that information would've had to have been illegally leaked by someone at DOJ.

      You're kidding right? The answer to that has been made public over and over and over.

      WELLLLLL Starting in March 2017, Congress was briefed on the CI investigation into Trump's people, including Page. Including details like that.

      Got it. Do we know if they were actually briefed about Carter Page though?

      Duly noted. Never thought the leaks could've come from congress.

      In general it's a safe assumption to begin by suspecting Congress bc they almost never will be prosecuted for leaking. And while leaks have certainly come from Dems, here the leak aligns w/GOP plans.

      I'm not convinced. But it's a persuasive argument.

      I don't know. Chuck is right that Bartlett's byline suggests he called DOJ for comment. But every story everyone is linking abt him it's always that role--call for comment.

          Yes. I'd love to see a debate between you and Chuck. You're polar opposites on all this, but you both have an encyclopedic understanding of it.
