Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein acknowledged in a court filing Friday that he authorized the release of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to media outlets .
Rosenstein said in a declaration filed in response to a lawsuit Strzok has pending against the Justice Department and FBI that he authorized releasing the text messages to media outlets Dec. 12 , 2017 , the eve of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee .
“ The disclosure obviously would adversely affect public confidence in the FBI , but providing the most egregious messages in one package @ @ @ @ @ @ @ selective disclosures and minimize the appearance of the Department concealing information that was embarrassing to the FBI , ” said Rosenstein , who left the Justice Department in May 2019 .
Strzok , the former deputy chief of the FBI ’ s counterintelligence division , sued the Justice Department and FBI on Aug. 6 , 2019 , for unlawful termination , infringement of due process , and violations of the Privacy Act .

In an Oct. 20 , 2016 , message , Strzok called Trump a “ f*cking idiot.
” On Aug. 6 , 2016 , Strzok wrote “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asserted that Strzok and Page ’ s privacy interests were not violated by releasing the messages because they “ were sent on government phones with the knowledge that they were subject to review by FBI ” and because they “ were so inappropriate and intertwined with their FBI work that they raised concerns about political bias influencing official duties.

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein acknowledged in a court filing Friday that he authorized the release of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to media outlets.
Rosenstein said in a declaration filed in response to a lawsuit Strzok has pending against the Justice Department and FBI that he authorized releasing the text messages to media outlets Dec. 12, 2017, the eve of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
“The disclosure obviously would adversely affect public confidence in the FBI, but providing the most egregious messages in one package would avoid the additional harm of prolonged selective disclosures and minimize the appearance of the Department concealing information that was embarrassing to the FBI,” said Rosenstein, who left the Justice Department in May 2019.
Strzok, the former deputy chief of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, sued the Justice Department and FBI on Aug. 6, 2019, for unlawful termination, infringement of due process, and violations of the Privacy Act. (RELATED: Strzok Sues FBI And DOJ)
Strzok was fired Aug. 8, 2018, over anti-Trump text messages that he exchanged with Page, who served as legal counsel to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
The existence of damning text messages between Strzok and Page was first reported Dec. 2, 2017, in stories at The New York Times and Washington Post.
The Justice Department scrambled to review and produce the texts to congressional committees who requested the communications. Rosenstein said a review of some of the messages was unexpectedly finished the day before his testimony.
He said he consulted with the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Affairs, which determined that there was no legal basis preventing the release of the messages, and the authorized the Justice Department’s Office of Public Affairs to provide 375 messages to a group of media outlets.
In one exchange, dated Aug. 15, 2016, Strzok referred to an “insurance policy” that was discussed that day in McCabe’s office during a conversation about the Trump investigation.
In an Oct. 20, 2016, message, Strzok called Trump a “f*cking idiot.” On Aug. 6, 2016, Strzok wrote “F Trump” to Page.
Rosenstein asserted that Strzok and Page’s privacy interests were not violated by releasing the messages because they “were sent on government phones with the knowledge that they were subject to review by FBI” and because they “were so inappropriate and intertwined with their FBI work that they raised concerns about political bias influencing official duties.”
He said that since he was scheduled to testify before the House, “it would be in appropriate to withhold the messages” until after his testimony.
Page, who resigned from the bureau May 4, 2018, sued the FBI and DOJ on Dec. 10, 2019, alleging violations of the Privacy Act.
She responded Saturday to Rosenstein’s court filing.
“All I can say is this: I very much look forward to Rod’s deposition,” she wrote on Twitter.

“Building an effective border wall system has been a bipartisan issue for — going back 20 years. It’s only under this administration, this president, that Congress has freaked out and said ‘It doesn’t work,'” Wolf told the DCNF. “A number of our opponents have been on record saying that it does work.”
“Where an effective border wall system goes up, illegal apprehensions go down,” Wolf continued, pointing behind him where new 30-foot high border wall was recently constructed. “We are putting the border wall system in priority locations — locations that are very difficult for Border Patrol to patrol.”
Beside him also stood older vehicular barriers, which stood about waist-high, and did virtually nothing to prevent pedestrian crossings. Much of the border wall construction since the onset of the Trump administration has been the replacement of vehicular and old, dilapidated barriers — establishing brand new wall that is essentially impassable.
Wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border is a top priority for the Trump administration, which hopes to build about 450 miles by the end of this year. The White House is focusing on areas that are hard for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to cover, leaving easier terrain for them to patrol on their own.
“So what we’re trying to do is put the border wall up to push illegal apprehensions to areas that they can patrol, they can apprehend and interdict folks, and the like. That’s our goal, that’s our strategy and it’s working,” Wolf said.
New border wall, along with numerous programs launched by the administration, appear to be controlling the flow of illegal aliens reaching the U.S.-Mexico border. At the height of the immigration crisis in May of last year, CBP reported well over 144,000 enforcement actions. In December, that number plummeted to just over 40,000. (RELATED: CBP Chief Confident That 450 Miles Of Border Wall Will Be Built By End Of 2020)
“One hundred miles of this has gone in,” Wolf said, pointing back at the long row of bollard wall separating Arizona from Mexico. “We built more miles in the first three years of this administration than the previous eight years all combined.”
