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.

Certain people are getting nervous.
I just love it when my enemies get in a knife fight with each other. If they run out of knives I will be happy to supply them with ample blades with keen cutting edges. “I just love it when a plan comes together,”quote from the A team. “John Hannibal Smith.”
Page, perhaps Strotz and definitely Rosenstein. Once the others know they have flipped many others will flip to save their asses. Three or five years at federal club med is far superior to twenty at Leavenworth.
Bastards
24 months ago it was “we know Trump’s a Russian spy!”
12 months ago it was “there was never any spying on him”
6 months ago it was “it was just routine surveillance of Russian activities”
3 months ago it was “it wasn’t spying”
Now it is “we told Comey not to use the dossier to spy on trump!”
Brennan needs to be publicly executed.
They are lying their asses off. The circular firing squad has formed and the biggest liar thinks he can pin the blame on the others. This was inevitable and predictable.
Next step is for them to point UPWARDS, to the Obama White House.
“Maybe it should be: Who has flipped already?” I’ve got $10 on Lisa Page. But I’ll lay a side bet on Ohr.
+++++
Very good bets. IMHO.
And Clinton. She absolutely was in on this.
And there is plenty of other knowledge that can be proferred in a deal. About that too sloppily built server and money in the Clinton Foundation.
“Somebody is lying.........”
Hah! I bet Comey has a conversation on tape with they telling him to USE the dossier.
Personally I think this was Brennan’s operation.
************
Prolly right, with Comey and Clapper the high level enablers. But regardless, all three were knowing participants and for that they are all equally guilty.
The principles at Perkins Coie might already be somewhere abroad. Maybe even in pieces.
It does appear that the long knives are out for Comey and are targeting him to take the hit for the team.
“Flipped, like with a burger?”
Time to start offering some of the little fish deals in order to turn on the bigger fish. Time to start extensively interviewing everybody involved and then seeing what technicalities some can be charged with as leverage to sing. IOW the exact same hardball tactics the coup plotters used.
Well McCabe did say, no dossier, no warrant. Guess he got that from the mind of Comey. So, right now it is Brennan one round won. Comey none and taking a standing 8 count.
Comey took it upon himself to declare Hitlery innocent of charges. So, it looks like the ref just hit Comey with a rabbit punch. Comey takes another 8 count.
Comey released info illegally to a buddy to instigate a special counsel be appointed. Third eight count and he is OUT. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. This string may begin and end with Comey and others in the FBI.
So, they MUST begin inquiry into the unmasking ASAP. Clapper, DNI,should know about it IMO. If they went went around him directly from the NSC to NSA all the better because it would put the white house center stage.
We need this two pronged approach, or pincer movement, to nail these clowns with the ultimate prize the muzzie in charge.
Clapper was never DIRNSA - Director NSA !
He was DNI then!
Admiral Mike Rogers was DIRNSA at the time.
Not saying nor am I thinking it could happen but ... if it happens ... what a day that will be !!! May orange be the color for their masses .....
Oh ok your off the hook, NOT!
Ah, Mr. Comey. Let us acquaint you with the term “cutout”. That isn’t where the blame stops, it’s where the evidence does. Now let’s discuss why we give cyanide capsules to spies.
Soon there will be a line of flippers.
Whomever comes first gets the best deal!
McCabe might be a good guess.
Astute comments and I agree that Rosenstein probably flipped. He was an insider and probably saw the handwriting on the wall that this whole plot was going to be unraveled and exposed. So he was proactive in offering up info to minimize his vulnerability to prosecution.
