That is an odd coincidence
something to keep in mind...
...Jan. 8, FBI Deputy Director McCabe emailed Comey and Rybicki with the subject title: “Flood is coming.”
“CNN is close to going forward with the sensitive story,” McCabe wrote. “The trigger for them is they know the material was discussed in the [presidential] brief and presented in an attachment.”
Also included on that email were FBI associate deputy director David Bowdich and FBI assistant director for public affairs Michael Kortan. (Bowdich was recently appointed FBI Deputy Director. Kortan retired in February and had also served as an aide to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who’s investigating alleged Trump-Russia collusion.)
Within an hour of the “Flood is coming” email, McCabe emailed then-Deputy General Sally Yates and her top aide, Principal Deputy Attorney General Matthew Axelrod, with the subject title “News.” (Yates has since been fired and Axelrod resigned.)
“Just an FYI, and as expected, it seems CNN is close to running a story about the sensitive reporting.”
On Jan. 10, CNN published a story headlined, “Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.” The same day, BuzzFeed News published the contents of the “Steele dossier.”

Isn’t giving a heads-up to a news story what you’d want McCabe to do? Entirely different situation if it was McCabe himself who leaked it of course.
All those conservatives rightly concerned that Clinton’s email was a security risk will be similarly vocally worried and disapproving about this of course...
I've kinda been out of the news loop for a few days,
Is the gist of things that
- The NYT reported that UAE, Saudi and Israel all aided Trumps campaign.
- on the back of that Trump thinks the Feds had an agent spying on his campaign
- Trump has asked the DoJ to investigate the FBI?

Great twitter thread about this.
A neat, contained example of the chaos that is our current Administration.
On the plus side the risks of a trade war with China seem to be receding - a trade war threat that Trump himself generated but putting out his own fires could be counted as progress of a sort!
On the down side...

Saudi, UAE and Israel all wanted him to pull the USA out of the Iran nuclear deal so that makes sense.
Classic Trump now he was rumbled with his campaign he is lashing out at the FBI to change the narrative.
So in an effort to determine whether the FBI politicized intelligence collection the GOP are going to start by politicize the review, with no Dems or even any of their own party’s Senators. Ah well, at least we’ll know where the leaks come from.
