You took that the wrong way. I didn't mean Strzok and Page were leaking themselves, which isn't really clear either, I meant the leaks that led to their wrongdoings coming to light. When Mueller allows people like this to work on his team until someone else finds out what they've done and then allows the system to take care of it, you can't help but wonder when someone like Manafort would accuse Muellers team of leaking and wants to have witnesses testify, only to have Muellers team deny it and try to push it back at the very least, if not make it go away entirely, if there's something else going on whether Mueller knows it or not.

You say there aren't even rumors that his team leaked any information yet Manafort has made an allegation about just that, which is in one of my links. You can say the judge pointed out that Manafort's claim of improper conduct wasn't enough to move forward for a hearing, yet Ford has recently accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault after 30 years, with practically no evidence at all and is having a hearing set up for her asap. Being sure that Kavanaugh is innocent makes sense, but so would making sure Muellers team is operating as intended, considering the teams recent past, and that they are investigating the Russia case which seems to be aimed at the President. Neither should be given a pass.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "leaks that led to their wrongdoing coming to light"?  I will freely admit I don't know all the details, but despite spending a few minutes searching I was unable to produce evidence of their texts being leaked before the DOJ released a bunch of them in December 2017.  If you could tell me what you are basing that statement on I would be grateful.  [edit:  Further searching suggests that it might be possible that the DOJ released the texts to get in front of leaks by Republicans in Congress.  If that's true, then although the texts first became known as a result of official information it was only released because they were afraid of leaks.  Is this what you meant?] 

In any case, it's wrong to imply that Mueller only removed them from the team when the texts became widely known, because of course they were pulled off the team before anyone knew anything about why they would have been removed.  They weren't fired from the FBI entirely until afterward but I think it's fair to say that's not Mueller's job anymore—do you disagree?
