An FBI email states that the “trigger” for CNN to first break the story revealing salacious and unsubstantiated claims made inside the infamous anti-Trump dossier was the leaking of ex-FBI Director James Comey’s official briefing on the dossier claims to President Donald Trump.

CNN on January 10, 2017 was first to report leaked information that the contents of the dossier were presented during classified briefings one week earlier to Trump and then-President Barack Obama.

Prior to CNN’s report leaking the briefings, which was picked up by news agencies worldwide, the contents of the dossier had been circulating among news media outlets, but the sensational claims were largely considered too risky to publish.

This is two years old. The first news articles about the dossier were about how Trump was briefed on its existence.

It’s amazing how y’all recycle the same stories over and over.

You reading skills stuck as bad as Obama.


This is not about Trump being briefed dipshit. It's about the briefing being a trigger.

This place is going to hell in a handbasket when we can't get a simple "BREAKING" in the subject line

A fine kettle of fish, I say

The briefing was the subject of the articles from almost two years ago.

And it was just false opposition research that he knew wasn’t vetted and paid for by Hillary, but Comey had to use the meeting as a leak, to get it out there,

You’re seeing the word triggered and getting triggered

The original articles about the dossier were about the FBI briefing Trump. Hell, people on CNN and in the Times explicitly said they ran the story because they thought that the briefing itself was newsworthy. You are almost two years behind.

No way of knowing, sir. We're all busy people. Can't just be clicking on every thread all la di da thinking we can stay abreast of the latest and greatest developments. We all have a responsibility to elevate certain topics as needed, and OP shirked said responsibility.

I'm calling Papa Elf on him. Santa WILL hear about this transgression. Blee dat

You are willfully obtuse. It's more circular reporting.

The details were not printable because everyone knew they were false. Under guise of briefing him before it got out to the public, they briefed DJT. The briefing actually became the trigger for the release to the public.

It's a classic set-up from the word go. Those involved need to held accountable.


Similarly, Rossenstein pens a memo recommending the firing of Comey. Then uses the firing of Comey to attack DJT. They are all scum, no question about it.

Which comey said he initiated because he knew it was going to press

This is tomfrickery even if you’re too dishonest to call it out
