'Brennan and Clapper claim they told James Comey NOT to use the golden showers dossier to get eavesdropping warrant on Trump campaign aide
2019-05-16
[MAIL] Former top Obama administration officials are at odds over which of them may have pushed the infamous golden showers dossier be included in an assessment of Russian election interference ‐ and existing email records hold the key to who is correct.

A former Republican congressman is touting the available digital evidence, as a new investigatory climate focuses on those involved in decisions to look at the Trump campaign in 2016 amid Russian election interference.

Attorney General William Barr has appointed a top prosecutor to examine the origins of the Russia probe ‐ the latest of several efforts to 'investigate the investigators.'

Once again, former FBI Director James Comey is a central figure to the matter. Fox News reports that in a late-2016 email chain, Comey tells subordinates that the dossier should be included in an intelligence community assessment of Russian interference ‐ and that it was at the direction of former CIA Director John Brennan.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller hunted down the details of the Kremlin-backed interference campaign and included it in his report, and the DOJ issued indictments.

But a former CIA official says it was Comey who wanted the dossier included in an Intelligence Community Assessment ‐ not former CIA director John Brennan or former National Security Agency director James Clapper.

It's an 9 hour drive, but I'd enjoy a seat in the gallery. Pls keep me posted. I love Indiana.

#12  one straw gets shot, another straw gets hung, the last is drawn and quartered. We can figure out the details of which is which when the time comes.

#9  Brennan, Clapper, and Comey are all liars. Toss in Hillary, Bill, and Obean and let the circular firing squad proceed.

#7  It will come down to seeing who gets to keep their pensions. And whether Wray has to fall too.

Yes, everyone is watching the money. Wray, strange grin and eye movements that man has. Perhaps he should set the example by going first.

The ONLY reason the onerous Brennan and Clapper are saying anything. Comey appears to be going down for the team.

It's the first step in disavowing ownership of Operation Hurricane Crossfire, Christopher Steele, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, or anyone else associated with the operation.

#1  Allow me, Rantburg moderators, to rewrite a classic:

Golden showers,
Fill your eyes (and it stings!)
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
