NEW YORK — In testimony, former FBI Director James Comey contradicted the claim made during previous testimony by former CIA Director John Brennan that the anti-Trump dossier was “not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community’s assessment” that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. The dossier, authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, was produced by the controversial Fusion GPS firm. Fusion was paid for the dossier work by Trump’s main political opponents, namely Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.
A January 6 U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) report released by Comey’s FBI, Brennan’s CIA and the NSA under Mike Rogers assessed that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. It also claimed that Russia worked to aid Trump’s electoral victory.
In testimony before the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees last week, Comey stated that material from the Steele dossier was indeed utilized in the IC report. Internally, the FBI referred to the dossier as “crown material.”
“So do you recall whether any quote, crown material or dossier material was included in the IC assessment?” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) asked Comey.
“Yes,” Comey replied. “I’m going to be careful here because I’m talking about a document that’s still classified. The unclassified thing we talked about earlier today, the first paragraph you can see of exhibit A, is reflective of the fact that at least some of the material that Steele had collected was in the big thing called the intelligence community assessment in an annex called annex A.”
Annex A in the report was titled, “Russia—Kremlin’s TV Seeks To Influence Politics, Fuel Discontent in US.”

Your choice.
Exactly so. If they disagree, then (according to the Left/media) one of them is lying and should go to prison. It’s just that simple.
At least one of em lying. Better toss em both in Gitmo just to be safe.
All of them. Eventually. Maybe. They should already be in prison.
JMHo
Comey and Brennan are liberal 'elite' thugs - our corrupt legal system lets those two (and thugs like them) lie their heads off. The crime of 'perjury' only applies to everyday citizens, traditional Americans and conservatives.
Our legal system is a lie.
Two bit corrupt thugs run it... run intelligence and run the DOJ - - just like the old KGB did in the USSR.
Both of them are lying!
Somehow, they’re probably both lying. They’re definitely both dirtbags of the worst sort.
How can something that is totally fake be classified??
