FOX NEWS - A high-level dispute over which senior government officials pushed the unverified Steele dossier amid efforts to surveil the Trump campaign has broken out into the open again, after it emerged that Attorney General William Barr appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if the FBI and DOJ’s actions were “lawful and appropriate.”
Sources familiar with the records told Fox News that a late-2016 email chain indicated then-FBI Director James Comey told bureau subordinates that then-CIA Director John Brennan insisted the dossier be included in the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference, known as the ICA.

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy says he has seen the email and it does not look good for John Brennan.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report on James Comey last month on the mishandling of his classified memos. Although it was determined that Comey violated FBI policies pertaining to retention, handling and dissemination of FBI records and information, Barr declined prosecution. Well, seems the fired FBI Director isn’t out of the woods yet as […]

In an opinion piece to the Washington Post, James Comey says the greatest degree of transparency is possible and warranted an investigation of the presidency. “It doesn’t happen often, because ordinarily nothing outweighs the privacy interest of the subject of […]
