A high-level dispute over which senior government officials pushed the unverified Steele dossier amid efforts to surveil the Trump campaign has broken out into the open again, after it emerged that Attorney General William Barr appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if the FBI and DOJ's actions were "lawful and appropriate."

Sources familiar with the records told Fox News that a late-2016 email chain indicated then-FBI Director James Comey told bureau subordinates that then-CIA Director John Brennan insisted the dossier be included in the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference, known as the ICA.


quote:

But in a statement to Fox News, a former CIA official put the blame squarely on Comey.

"Former Director Brennan, along with former [Director of National Intelligence] James Clapper, are the ones who opposed James Comey’s recommendation that the Steele Dossier be included in the intelligence report," the official said.

All 3 of these cretins deserve what's coming their way.

I will trust the emails at the time versus some former CIA official trying to take up for his buddy Brennan

But they should both rot

They are rats on a sinking ship. They should all swing.

They are all publicly in panic mode because they know that if they privately talk to each other they may be under FISA warrant.

And how many lost their clearances? Did Comey?

Starting to think Clapper was the least despicable of the 3. Might not be saying much.

I oppose the death penalty, but I think an old fashioned firing squad would be quite appropriate for Brennan. I'd even go for a hanging. Build the gallows right outside his jail cell and let him wait to be marched out and hanged in front of everyone. Traitorous POS

Soooo...why hasn't EITHER said "I TOLD him not to use it!" in the intervening 2 years?


None of the asshats has said "Yep. There WAS a problem with the FISA app and I tried to point that out at the time". Nope...all ASSHATS have said "it was all done properly. Trump is a crazy person for claiming any issues"


frick them all. They ALL own it, now.

Would you believe any top level CIA Official? He is probably connected as well.
He swore to uphold the Constitution of the USA. If he knew, why didn't he, or Brennan, tell. His talking shows he is dirty and trying to protect Brennan and himself.

Barr needs to depose that "former official" and make that nerd repeat that statement under oath.

He's the best smelling turd in the cat litter box. Brennan is the worst. He's just a bad man.

Since when does the CIA give orders to the FBI?

Comey can try this but it will only work in the court of public opinion.

Gosh, I wonder if Anderson Cooper will have Comey back on so he can get to the bottom of this?

Gowdy claims to have seen material indicating both Brennan and Comey have culpability, Brennan moreso.
