A Justice Department spokesperson, Anthony Coley, confirmed to POLITICO on Thursday night that the legal process to get the records was approved last year, but he did not explain why the records were sought.

The news comes less than two weeks after The Washington Post reportedthat Trump’s Justice Department secretly got three Post reporters’ phone records and tried to get their email logs. The move was in an apparent bid to uncover the sources for a story in 2017 on a federal investigation into alleged links between Russia and the then-president’s campaign.

Secretly obtaining records…tsk tsk.

Let me guess…not technically illegal?

Is it illegal to disclose classified information to news sources? If so, what they’re doing is attempting to find out who is breaking our laws. Yeah man…that’s terrible.

Leaks are only bad if prosecuted by a dem admin or when a gop admin is more leaky than a sieve.
