A dispute between two leading figures in the deep state has erupted.
As pressure from Attorney General Barr’s team intensifies, things are getting rather uncomfortable for former CIA director John Brennan and ex-FBI chief James Comey.
Per Townhall:
As a result, they’re already turning on each other and doing their best to get ahead of an investigative report from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
For example, Comey and Brennan are at each other’s throats over who pushed the dossier.
Amazing—James Comey says that in 2016, John Brennan insisted on including the dossier in their IC assessment. But Brennan says: no no, COMEY wanted to use the dossier.
They know the truth is coming. And now they’re all throwing each other under the bus.https://t.co/lComh1CO0d

Former top FBI attorney Jim Baker had this to say about Comey:
Senior FBI officials were concerned then director James Comey would appear to be blackmailing then President-elect Trump – using tactics notoriously associated with J.Edgar Hoover – when he attended a fateful Jan. 6, 2017, meeting at which he informed the real estate magnate about allegations he had consorted with prostitutes in Moscow, according to Jim Baker, the bureau’s chief counsel at the time.
In another twist, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper thinks the country should simply move on after the Mueller Report.
Of course, the announcement isn’t surprising now that the proverbial noose is tightening.
The Comey vs Brennan vs Clapper vs Lynch vs Obama show is going to be awesome ????
