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.

So, they MUST begin inquiry into the unmasking ASAP.

**************

THIS is where it really gets interesting and dicey for the cabal. Lots of unmaskings authorized by lots of people high up in the Obama administration. The day of reckoning is fast approaching for them.

McCabe did reportedly say he would “torch the FBI” if he was fired.

If no one did anything wrong what in the world would he “torch” them with?

Kind of like Hillary’s statement “If that f-ing bastard Trump wins, we all hang from nooses.”

Pray tell, Madame Pantsuit, what would you all hang for?

Comey, Clapper and Brennan--all were involved in the criminal attempt to corrupt an election and--when that failed--to overthrow an elected American President.

Looking back half a year ago, we find both Clapper and Brennan getting away with more crimes in the turmoil of the Presidential election (bold added):

"Brennan has flouted U.S. national security laws with impunity for years. It was Brennan who, as CIA director, ordered CIA computer hackers to break into the computer system of the Senate Intelligence Committee while its investigators were preparing a declassified version of the Senate Torture Report Executive Summary. It was also Brennan who maintained President Obama’s “kill list” of people designated for assassination, including American citizens, without the benefit of due process.

"Clapper infamously denied [lied] to Senator Ron Wyden in an open hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee that NSA was spying on American citizens. When he was finally challenged on his lie, he said that saying no was “the least dishonest response” he could think of."

Brennan and Clapper Should Not Escape Prosecution

These high-level bureaucratic felons are developing helluva long rap-sheets for themselves.

Enjoy the show.

Brennan and Clapper are trying to skate.

Until they are convicted, it isn't enjoyable.

Maybe it should be: Who has flipped already?

Often their off the cuff remarks like you posted, are excellent insights to their realities.

THEY ALL KNEW!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Therein lies the rub.

BOTH parties conspired to violate the Constitution.
Obama was never eligible.
It’s going to be nearly impossible to get anyone to prosecute him as almost everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit.

Is that going to be the tactic? Everyone lies, and all the evidence has been scrubbed by Mueller. Then there is reasonable doubt in court.

Flipping would require one to tell the truth. That hasn’t happened yet.
