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.

Just think, for a moment, about what kind of person would be drawn like a magnet to the magnitude of power concentrated in a place like Washington.

They should pick a different location than Fort Marcy Park for Comey’s suicide.

One of the funniest things of all is watching these pompous, self-important clowns exposed for the clowns that they are—and they considered themselves...oh...so...world class!

This should be fun.

Saint Comey has been shooting his mouth off.

Brennan says he was given bad information.

And Clapper.....rhymes with...crapper.

"There are loads of idiots at Yahoo that still believe it. Who said Democrats are stupid? Oh yeah, Hillary Clinton."

Remember the woman from Arkansas who said she didn't believe the reports about Clinton and Monica. The reporter said: "But he's admitted it." The woman replied: "Well I still don't believe it."

We should not forget that traitor McCain’s part in all this.

He was the one that provided “legitimacy” to the fake information.

IF Hillary had won, none of this would ever have seen the light of day.

And Comey is nacisstic enough that he won’t be the fall guy.

Narcissistic, sure, but is he smart enough? Does he have a good handle on basic 'strategery'?

'Hillary’s statement “If that f-ing bastard Trump wins, we all hang from nooses.”'

That's a confession.

Personally I think this was Brennan’s operation.

And former Brennan CIA people would lie for him.

A very wise, highly intelligent, very successful, elderly man told me, when Obama was first elected, that Obama was a figurehead, placed in the Presidency by a cabal, whom he would represent. This sage man said that he didn’t know who was in the cabal, but he knew that it existed.
