Did the FBI Trump Squad Discuss The Dossier with CNN?Sean Davis looks through the emails, and thinks FBI officials -- Andrew McCabe especially -- were very familiar with CNN's thinking.
These emails were sent shortly after the Dossier Briefing, which supposedly was for the purposes of informing Trump about the "salacious and unverified" allegations in the dossier but which had actually been engineered in order to give CNN the "news hook" CNN told Brennan, Clapper, or whoever they needed to run the story. Two days after the briefing, on January 8, 2017, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who earlier this year was fired and then referred for criminal prosecution by the DOJ inspector general for repeatedly lying about media leaks, wrote an e-mail to top FBI officials with the subject, "Flood is coming." John Sexton of Hot Air emphasizes the #FakeNews about Trump being given a two-page summary of the dossier even more. Remember, Comey says he never gave Trump any summary. In fact, he barely even briefed him on the dossier at all -- he only mentioned the "salacious" parts about the prostitutes, not any of the other stuff. He didn't even tell Trump that there was a "dossier." Just that there were reports. That background established: The big takeaway here is that two days after the briefing took place, someone had leaked word of it to CNN. Not only that but Andrew McCabe knew word of the briefing had leaked and that CNN was about to publish. It doesn't appear from the description of his emails that he was a) surprised or b) concerned about the leak so soon after the briefing. So far as we know, no one at the FBI was pounding a desk demanding to know who gave CNN exactly what it was looking for. Ron Johnson is on it:
