If you want to know how significant this story was/is, you just have to watch how the left used it against Trump. Here's Rachel Maddow. I know, I know. But for context, its worth a watch.

1. The leak of FISA information is a very, very unusual leak. Its something that NEVER leaks.
2. Maddow goes back to 2013 to set up Page as a Russian operative
This is false. Trump was handed a list, read off 4 names then stopped.
(This is the money shot and explains why Strzok and Page leaked- to advance the Trump-Russia story)
(What Lisa Page did is actually far worse. "Stunning")
WaPo gets Trump to name foreign policy team
Steele Dossier includes some of those names
Dossier is leaked to press & DOJ
DOJ uses Dossier to get FISA warrants on Team Trump
DOJ leaks the FISA information to WaPo
Media "advances" the story
Denials are talking points
