Probably based on the same method used in this story. You can't make up shit like this, lol.

Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows dropped a bombshell Monday evening.
  Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) revealed Monday evening Congressional  investigators have learned new information suggesting the FBI and DOJ  previously leaked information to the press then used those same press  stories as a separate source to justify seeking FISA warrants on Trump  advisor Carter Page.
Twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr will be interviewed Tuesday in a  closed-door session byCongress. Meadows then asked of Bruce Ohr, “Did  he ever do this?”
  
MEADOWS: We’ve learned NEW information suggesting  our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the  press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to  justify FISA’s. Unreal. Tomorrow’s Bruce Ohr interview is even more  critical. Did he ever do this?
