IG's FISA Probe May Hamper Dems' Impeachment Plans

[seer]

The FBI knew at least a week prior to using Steele's report to secure a FISA warrant that the dossier was sketchy at best.

This is getting good!

Have you noticed how in the past couple of weeks that several of those involved in that sordid mess have begun to turn on each other? Looks like they are getting nervous about the investigation.

LOTS of finger pointing, and people trying to get out in front of this with their own version of what happened. The rats are running all over the ship looking for the exits.

For instance, Brennan has turned on Comey over how the Steele dossier made its way into the intelligence briefings and FISA warrant requests. Some say that Brennan may be in the more precarious position but Comey is also trading barbs with Rod Rosenstein.

What's that they say? They know "the Jig is up"?

The race is on to see who can rat out his coconspirators first and get the best deal from the prosecutors.

oops...

A debate is heating up over whether it was former CIA Director John Brennan or former FBI Director James Comey who attempted to include the unverified Trump dossier in the high-profile Intelligence Community Assessment of January 2017 that focused on Russian interference.

A report from Fox News on Wednesday offered competing claims, with some sources telling them that a yet-to-be-made-public email chain from late 2016 shows that “Comey told [FBI] subordinates that … Brennan insisted the dossier be included” in the assessment, while a former CIA official “put the blame squarely on Comey.”

Disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director turned anti-Trump activist John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence and Trump critic James Clapper are the subjects of a dispute over which top Obama administration officials advocated for the infamous Steele dossier to be utilized as evidence in the Russia collusion investigation.

The argument erupted into the open with a Brennan surrogate being quoted in the news media opposing Comey not long after Attorney General William Barr appointed a U.S. attorney to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion claims.

The fiasco was kicked into high gear after Fox News cited “sources familiar with the records” pointing to an email chain from late-2016 showing Comey allegedly telling FBI employees that it was Brennan who insisted that the anti-Trump dossier be included in a January 6, 2017 U.S. Intelligence Community report, known as the ICA, assessing Russian interference efforts.

A former CIA official, clearly defending Brennan, shot back at the assertion, instead claiming that it was Brennan and Clapper who opposed a purported push by Comey to include the dossier charges in the ICA.

Keep in mind this has only just begun and is in response to talking about investigating how this all originated. What will happen if folks start getting subpoenaed? How far up the chain of command will they be willing to go to save themselves?

Bill Barr vows to uncover 'exactly what happened' with Russia probe, says explanations have been 'inadequate'

Attorney General Bill Barr, in an exclusive interview with Fox News, said the country must know “exactly what happened” with counterintelligence activities conducted during the 2016 election -- and he is determined to get to the bottom of the case.

In his first interview since becoming attorney general, Barr spoke to “America’s Newsroom” host Bill Hemmer during a visit to El Salvador for meetings with law enforcement officials. In pointed terms, he fired back at Democrats who have castigated him over his handling of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report -- calling Speaker Nancy Pelosi's charge that he lied to Congress "laughable" and dismissing an attempt to hold him in contempt of Congress.

"That's part of the usual ... political circus that's being played out. It doesn't surprise me," he said.

And the nation's top law enforcement official provided new details about the recently announced probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, defending his decision to pursue it and stressing that many of the answers he's gotten so far have been "inadequate."

My biggest concern is that this is all going to be quietly wrapped up with a "mistakes were made" statement and a few subordinates taking the fall, and then we'll never hear another word about it.

I suppose that's possible, but that generally happens when an administration is investigating itself because the scandal is too big to cover up a la the IRS charitable organizations tax exemptions scandal of the Obama years.
