FULL TITLE: IG Report: James Comey Passed Private Conversation with Trump to FBI Team Investigating Russia Collusion
A report released on Thursday by the Justice Department’s inspector general provides new context to disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s infamous classified briefing to then President-elect Donald Trump about “salacious” material inside the anti-Trump dossier. The IG report relates that prior to the briefing, FBI members on Comey’s team discussed the need to memorialize the exchanges between Comey and Trump during the private January 6, 2017 briefing in Trump Tower just in case Trump made statements relevant to the agency’s Russia probe. In other words, they plotted to stealthily use statements Trump said to Comey in a private briefing to inform their Russia collusion investigation.
The IG further relates that Comey went on to do just that. He had a laptop waiting for him in the car, where he immediately began memorializing the private talk. He also immediately provided a “quick download” of the Trump briefing to members of the FBI’s Russia collusion team via a secured video conference.
Until now, Comey and other former Obama administration officials presented the unusual briefing as a courtesy to Trump to warn him about the news media possibly publically releasing embarrassing claims about the newly elected president. Questions have been raised on the need to include the dossier’s wild and unsubstantiated charges in the classified briefings. It is not the usual job of the intelligence community to warn politicians about possible pending negative publicity.
The IG report, based on interviews with Comey and other FBI “witnesses”, documents that prior to Comey’s briefing the FBI discussed utilizing Comey’s classified private talk with Trump to inform the controversial Russia collusion probe.

From Wiki:
"Harris Llewellyn (Throckmorton) Wofford was born in 1926 in Manhattan, New York City, the son of Estelle Allison (née Gardner) and Harris Llewellyn Wofford. He was born to a wealthy and prominent Southern family."
"At age 11 he accompanied his widowed grandmother on a six-month world tour. They spent Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, visited Shanghai shortly after the Imperial Japanese Army captured it, spent time in India where Wofford became "fascinated" by Mahatma Gandhi and visited Rome, where they saw Benito Mussolini announce Italy's withdrawal from the League of Nations and a subsequent fascist parade."
"While attending Scarsdale High School, he was inspired by Clarence Streit's plea for a world government to found the Student Federalists. By the time he was 18, the organization had grown so large that Newsweek predicted he would become President." (Belated barf alert)

Last night's thumping of the Phillies is more like it. Now .... play a great September and you can pull off something beautiful over there in Flushing.
Good luck, good sir.
It is still run by liars.
It's like committing a genocide and getting busted for shoplifting.
It's time the people viewed the law as not up to the task of fixing what the government has broken.
How do we get the deep rot out? Putting Comey, Boente, Rosenstein, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Lynch in jail, and that's going to fix it? Seriously?
The resistance works because the government is too powerful and the people are too passive about the state of government.
Lying to the public is legal. Otherwise everybody in Congress would be in jail.
The limts of free speech are defmation, incitment to riot, and disclosing military secrets, cryptography, and covert operator ID.
The cure for the lying press is to expose the myth that it is objective or honest. Let it speak, it has the same right to do so that the lunatic in the public square has, and deserves about the same amount of credibility.
Thanks a little elbow grease.
The FBI sucks.
You're right Mariner.
Hi.
What if George W. Bush had his CIA, DOJ and FBI investigate 0bama and his campaign, transition and presidency?
The corporate media, academia, and Hollywood would have birthed a cow.
F’em.
