Remember the 1/6/17 dossier briefing Comey, Brennan, and Clapper gave Trump? Comey has said it was a defensive briefing, simply to give Trump a heads up.
The IG report contradicts this.
It says the FBI wanted to use the meeting to get "information of value" for Russia probe.— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) August 29, 2019
At 1/6/17 Trump Tower meeting, Comey told president-elect, 'We are not investigating you, sir.' At that moment, Comey had Crossfire Hurricane team waiting for secure videoconference on Trump response to Steele dossier allegations. https://t.co/aAio3vK6ze— Byron York (@ByronYork) August 29, 2019
Source points out: In addition to Comey undoubtedly leaking sensitive law enforcement information, he also leaked classified information to his attorneys. But info was classified after the fact & Comey said in his judgment it shouldn't have been; perhaps reason for DOJ decision.— Byron York (@ByronYork) August 29, 2019
Fact is, Comey's leak of sensitive law enforcement material was so egregious and so consequential that IG strongly condemned; a 'dangerous example.' https://t.co/Dav1KA2SNW— Byron York (@ByronYork) August 29, 2019
