Obamas 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.

BREAKING: Main Justice Dept sources say #Spygate prosecutor John Durham is also targeting the CIA and its role in the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation, and that John Brennan's machinations during the 2016 campaign will come into sharper focus
I can’t believe CNN gave POS Comey a townhall to grandstand and pontificate. Wait, it’s CNN sure I can.
This is funny to watch these clowns now try to blame one another. It becomes clear that it was not on the up and up. I do not know how it all will end, but it sure is fun to watch.
I’m really REALLY good with the popcorn supply
BUT I might need to stock up on more Milk Duds
Finger pointing is starting.
Self-preservation.
It is going to be fun to see who gets thrown under the bus.
When the subpoenas are starting to be issued, the grand scattering will likely happen. Look for private jets to be leaving US airspace and heading to destinations that have no extradition treaties with the US.
Popcorn futures are rising on anticipated demand.
Nellie Ohr ‘created’ it. Gave it to Steele. He didn’t even bother to read it.
Had he bothered, he would have seen a glaring inaccuracy stating him in the face:
The doc referred to a Russian Consulate in Miami.
There is no Russian Consulate in Miami.
All he was concerned with was getting his hands on his ‘share’ of the $12 Million the Hillary Campaign was paying Fusion GPS via Perkins-Coie Law Firm...............
“Whatever became of honor among thieves?”
They are all trying to stay out of prison now.
According to the Chans, Greg Craig is singing, as well.
Great point. President Trump should not laud “the many great people” in our intel agencies. How many showed their high principles by resigning because their superiors were breaking the law? There were NONE that we know of. Everyone has one goal: a cushy government retirement.
Oh boy, here we go. I have been saying Comey was to be the designated fall guy from the very beginning and now it starts.
This is going to be fun.
Thank you!
Strongly suspect that each of them has kept tapes and e mail transcripts as their get out of jail free card. Comey will use his first. Hell talk first because he knows that there are people in the know at the FBI who absolutely loathe what he did and are just waiting to drop the dime on him at the right moment. Better for him to talk first and cut a deal.

I agree with all of that.
Comey will be the one to go to Barr and talk. He has no friends. As I said on another thread, the Dems hate him for the reopening of the email thing after Weiner’s laptop. He will not go quietly. And he cannot hope Trump is not reelected or removed. Comey will bring this all down.
I wonder if there is a real picture of two big sewer rats on their hind legs fighting each other that would be awesome. Somebody should make a meme out of that.
I figured they would be the first to throw someone under the bus.

Total BS. They all knew what was going on.
Maybe it should be: Who has flipped already?
Ive got $10 on Lisa Page. But Ill lay a side bet on Ohr.

Andy McCabe? Where has he been lately? Hmmm
