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.

RAT FIGHT!!!

Special Counsel Robert Mueller hunted down the details of the Kremlin-backed interference campaign and included it in his report, and the DOJ issued indictments.

But a former CIA official says it was Comey who wanted the dossier included in an Intelligence Community Assessment – not former CIA director John Brennan or former National Security Agency director James Clapper.

Personally I think this was Brennan’s operation.

And former Brennan CIA people would lie for him.

Comey’s young. At 58, he’ll still be able to enjoy his golden years after a 10-year stretch at Club Fed.

The bastards are going to turn against each other like hyenas fighting over a piece of meat.

There is no honor among thieves.

Now comes the time for popcorn. The infighting has started as the rats realize that Trump and his minions play for keeps and have better cards than Mueller et al ever had.

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.

Note to self: Get popcorn.

“Comey briefed Trump on the contents of the dossier and its salacious unverified claims about his alleged conduct in Moscow after the election”

Comey was actually blackmailing Trump, and trolling for a reaction. He wasn’t “briefing” him on anything.

Who will flip first?

Maybe it should be: Who has flipped already?

Thieves by definition and their nature have no honor. Their loyalty is only to themselves.
