Obama’s intelligence chiefs Brennan and Clapper claim they told James Comey NOT to use the golden showers dossier to get eavesdropping warrant on Trump campaign aide

High-level former aides are squaring off on who pushed to include the unverified dossier in a surveillance warrant application

Emails refer to the dossier as 'crown material'

Former CIA official says former CIA Director John Brennan and former NSA chief James Clapper argued against

Official said former FBI Director James Comey pushed for it

Comey briefed Trump on the contents of the dossier and its salacious unverified claims about his alleged conduct in Moscow after the election

The spat comes as Attorney General Bill Barr appointed an official to probe how the Russia investigation got started

Trump said he was honored by Barr's move 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.

The CIA invented the term to cover their genuine conspiracies.

Thanks for getting back with me. I guess my main question was whether this hanging is a historical event, or something from a movie that has been made to look historical? To me, it looks like the real deal but who knows? At one time I had a PC or laptop with a program that would allow me to go to the page where a particular image was displayed/stored... I’m currently borrowing a relic (2007) while my newest laptop undergoes repairs, so I am out in the cold on this image.

Anybody?

The US newsmedia has shifted its allegiance from TRUTH—TRUTH for its own sake—to some fictional “higher truth.” This “higher truth” is nothing more than untruth, but those of mediocre intelligence and integrity, those who depend upon groupthink for their moral compass, cannot understand this.

"That’s an excellent point."

And it explains why the power and reach of government must be limited.

Those of mediocre intelligence and integrity, those who depend upon groupthink for a moral compass, cannot understand this.

The best part is the last minute Susan Rice memo to self on how “everything was done by the book”. Classic CYA that everyone over looked.

You make another excellent point. And those people with the “group think” mentality are willing and easily led and molded. They are being used and don’t realize it. They are basically Useful Idiots.
