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 three should be arrested, tried and assigned to the same cell at Gitmo.

I believe the name has recently been changed to "Comey Island".

Who will flip first? Maybe it should be: Who has flipped already?

Rosenstein was likely one of the first. With criminal conspiracies, the first one to run to the prosecutor gets the best deal, by far; sometimes even immunity from prosecution. May not seem right, but it helps get all the others to reach a deal, or face a trial in which they will be found guilty. The risk to that person is they have to tell everything they know or their deal goes away. The others charged will be put in a position where they must choose to reach a plea deal or go to trial. Making the government take you to trial most often results in a significantly longer sentence. As more defendants cut deals, hopes of a not guilty verdict will be very low to non-existent.

Too many career FBI agents have been silent as the FBI has been dragged through the political mud pit night after night for over two years. It will not end well for those responsible for this travesty; thus, please pray for them. (Matthew 5:43-48)

Everybody claims that the Investigation/Setup was all on the Up and Up and they had probable cause and did nothing wrong.

If nobody did anything wrong and the operation was Justified, why is it that EVERY LAST PLAYER IS EITHER AN FBI or CIA ASSET, EMPLOYEE OR INFORMANT?????

Not a Single Non Government person involved

I’m sick of this “unverified” crap. It’s out and out lies. We can play that game, too. Obama is a gay Marxist Muslim foreign invader married to a tranny. Unverified, but it could be true. Bad example, because I’m pretty sure it’s all true.

Good, now we get to see all of the Deep State attempting to pin the whole thing on a "Gone Rogue" James Comey in an effort to protect Obama.

Comey doesn't strike me as a guy who would take the fall for anyone, even a President. I'm thinking if he ends up indicted, he tries to pin it all on subordinates, and maybe Lynch.

If they think we’ll accept Comey as a designated fall guy and be satisfied, they’ve got another thing coming!

At 58, he’ll still be able to enjoy his golden shower years after a 10-year stretch at Club Fed.

There -- fixed it. :-P

I heard Joe DiGenova this AM on Breitbart Sirius radio.
He said the whole Steele dossier and FISA warrant idea was the brainchild of Brennan. He’s the man behind the curtain.
