It's called intelligence laundering and it's all too common place.

What's worse, is that you can use the media reports in court citing judicial notice.

LOL, the FBI needs to be brought up on charges. (searchvoat.co)

Nancy Pelosi was boasting about this practice. She called it the 'wrap up' smear.

This is absolutely true, and it’s fucking disgusting.

steele dossier.....Russian collusion

This has been the FBI's MO since it was founded by that cock sucking, cross dressing faggot Gay Edgar Hoover. The FBI was created as a blackmail/smear operation for the Jews to control right wing goy political and business leaders. Hoover protected (((Communist))) infiltration and subversion activities, like that degenerate Martin Luther Kang. He protected Jewish Organized Crime and only went after the lower level Italian Mafia that was competing with Jewish interests or had become a PR problem.
Hoover was obsessed with good PR. Going after bank robbers like Dillinger, who was regarded as a folk hero by the public during the (((Great Depression))), were basically PR stunts. The image of the straight laced, incorruptible, crew cut G-Man was carefully cultivated propaganda created by Hoover and (((Hollywood))). They needed that image to distract from what the FBI was really doing behind the scenes, like helping engineer and cover up pollical assassinations -James Forrestal, the Kennedy Brothers, Vince Foster being just a few - and the horrible political repression of the pro-segregationist Right wing.
The Jews have so much control now that their agenda can be implemented out the open and the FBI can drop the whole good guy act.

And Sean "99% of FBI agents are Constitution loving super-patriots" Hannity can go fuck himself.
