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.

Brennan knew and pushed it:
Citing a “high-level source,” Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul charged in a bombshell Twitter post late Wednesday that anti-Trump ex-CIA Director John Brennan “insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier” be included in a classified intelligence community report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections — a decision that ultimately lent credibility to the dossier and may have played a key role in fomenting unfounded fears of Russia collusion for two years.

Paul called on Brennan to testify under oath immediately, as Republicans continue to aggressively seek out the origins of the collusion narrative. Fox News had not independently verified Paul’s source, and Brennan has not replied to Fox News’ requests for comment.

Good, now we get to see all of the Deep State attempting to pin the whole thing on a “Gone Rogue” James Comey in an effort to protect Obama.

Too late for that, after the Stroke/Page+ (yes, I know, spelling) texts indicated that Zero wanted to be ‘in the know’\informed on progress.

Just like him having his own address on Cankles e-mail server pretty much puts to bed the “I knew about from the news” bull-squeeze...

Zero WAS part of the whole conspiracy (more than Nixon was vs. Watergate). “Buck stops here”, Capt. of the ship, etc., no?

Everybody is lying.

Yep. Of interest now is the new standard recent Democratic actions have deemed to imply. The coup plotters will have to “exonerate” themselves. Good luck with that.

Bet they miss the Constitution now. Lmao

He was announced as though nothing else mattered. Much of my trust went south when his re-election was announced and no national media cared enough to tell Americans the truth about eligibility
All lies (imho) were nothing else mattered

IF Hillary had won, none of this would ever have seen the light of day.

Which implies the obvious question: How much of this has been done in the past, that we are unaware of?

Lots of questionable items, which have all be derogated as "conspiracy theories".
