New OIG finding on a former FBI Deputy Assistant Director for unauthorized & illegal leaking.
It certainly appears to be Peter Strzok as it is out of the OIG MYE report & includes sealed info.
DOJ declined prosecution, but that may be due to cooperation.

OIG found last summer that Strzok was sending information from a sealed warrant to his personal email. This leak investigation was information from a sealed document.
Note the different evidentiary standards used by OIG & criminal trials.

A criminal prosecution requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime was committed. An OIG finding of Misconduct only requires evidence that more than 50% of the evidence showed that a crime was committed.

Strzok was also referred to the court for leaking this sealed information, I believe that was in NYC. The court might also sanction him for this information as now that the internal investigation is over, it could be provided to the court.

Strzok was also accused in the OIG report of sending Grand Jury information from DC or EDVA to his private email so that might be a separate finding to be released later. IIRC it was DC area GJ info that was in the sealed affidavit that he sent to his personal email...

Sent the wrong link in the first tweet. Here is the new report. The other link is to the findings in 2018 related to Strzok that the finding points to on page 430. oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/f…
