Comey briefed Trump on the unverified document, compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, last year.

"When you told him the contents of the Steele dossier, did you get the impression it was the first time he'd ever heard those allegations?" NBC's Chuck Todd asked Comey on "Meet the Press."

"Yes," Comey said, "And I didn't give him the briefing on the whole Steele dossier. My assignment was to brief him on a small part of it that was salacious and personal. And my sense was, I didn't get a sense that he knew about those," he continued.

It would be as if Sheila Jackson Lee had had an interview with Carl Sagan before he died and afterwards remarked that she didn’t get a sense that he knew Neil Armstrong had walked on Mars.

Comey.....” my sense was, I didn't get a sense that he knew”...

This guy needs to stop talking and put his ‘senses’ under lock and key!...............or at least drink a bottle of Bourbon or something! At least he'd have an excuse! Way too much hocus-pocus!

My assignment was to brief him on a small part of it that was salacious and personal.


So, Mr. Head of the FBI Comey, who gave you that assignment?

Only Lorretta Lynch and President Obama were above you in the Chain of Command, as I recall.

Or did you make it up on your own?

Under the post-9/11 reorganization of the intelligence community, the head of the FBI’s Intelligence Branch—since 2014, Robert Mueller/James Comey appointee Eric Velez-Villar—also reports to the DNI—at the time of the dossier briefing, James Clapper.

The former head of the FIB gets no sense - and has no sense.
