And THAT is how he became a target for a FISA wiretap.
They needed to know what else he knew.
CNN says they have already seen the texts and its a big nothing.
Clearly trying to get ahead of the story…
Recovered text messages between FBI officials capture reactions to Comey firing, Mueller appointment

>The texts between FBI special agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, which were reviewed by CNN, show their dismay at the firing of Comey and discussing the prospect of working for Mueller. The texts are also likely to raise new questions for Republicans and allies of Trump who've pointed to their previous anti-Trump texts as exhibit A for political bias at the nation's top law enforcement agency.
It's not clear whether he was knowingly trying to set up Trump, or realized later that they were asking him to do things that created the breadcrumbs they needed.
He seemed like he was legit upset that he was used for creating the wiretap. Not sure if that is just his CYA excuse now, or if he's really another victim.
I think its pretty clear that someone like Schiff quickly fed them a well selected sample to get the right narrative going in front of the news.
