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.

All CIA people would lie for him. There have to be dozens if not hundreds of CIA with access to know this is not true.

They have all remained silent, like good nazis.

Strongly suspect that each of them has kept tapes and e mail transcripts as their get out of jail free card. Comey will use his first. He’ll talk first because he knows that there are people in the know at the FBI who absolutely loathe what he did and are just waiting to drop the dime on him at the right moment. Better for him to talk first and cut a deal.

“Somebody is lying.........”

And we already know that Comey self admittedly leaked confidential information. He would be the first domino to fall. Let’s start by Manaforting him.

[Will his pension be taken away?]


Depends on the charges that stick:
http://askthelawyer.federaltimes.com/2014/01/27/q-a-session-crime-conviction-effect-on-retirement-pension/
[Being convicted of a crime almost never jeopardizes a federal pension – the rare exception to this rule for federal civil servants is the list of crimes codified at 5 U.S.C § 8312. Those charges almost all relate to criminal disloyalty to the United States: espionage, treason, sabotage, insurrection against the United States, improper sharing or intentional loss of certain highly classified documents, and so on. There are occasional efforts by some Members of Congress to expand the sorts of convictions which could cause a retiree to lose their federal pension, although none of those proposals have been passed to date.]

Didn’t Comeystain try to blackmail Donald Trump with a “what if” threat if talk of the pee pee video got out?

I’m hoping that when this “Crown” stuff is revealed that Trump issues hard sanctions against our “Friends Across the Pond” who worked with the English hating Obama to try to overthrow the election. Maybe shut down all their Embassies and end all H1B Visas from Great Britain for a year or two.

The fact is the British are neck deep in this attempted coup.

“And former Brennan CIA people would lie for him.”

Who set up the op to bribe Papadopolous in Europe? That’s the big piece of evidence which will take down everyone.

Those two Muslim weasels are blaming everything on Comey now. All three should be arrested, tried and assigned to the same cell at Gitmo.

“Facing the full force of the AG, the criminals are turning on each other.”

Now this is something that the MSM should be focusing on. Not whether Trump at one time had two scoops of ice cream.

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

BINGO!

The special persecutor should offer Clapper-Brennan-Comey a deal to the first of them who fingers Obama as the coup leader.

Obama is the one we want.

They’re starting to fold.
The cross-accusations are going to escalate to sublime absurdity from here on out.
