revisiting @paulsperry_ (May 15, 2018) article: Two Colleagues Contradict Brennan's Denial of Reliance on Dossier realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/…
quote: "Less than a month after Trump won the election, Obama directed Brennan to conduct a review of all intelligence relating to Russian involvement in the 2016 election and produce a single, comprehensive assessment..."
..Obama was briefed on the findings, along with President-elect Trump, in early January. “Brennan put some of the dossier material into the PDB [presidential daily briefing] for Obama and described it as coming from a ‘credible source,’ which is how they viewed Steele..”
"in early January" now recall:
"James R. Clapper Jr. signed them on Dec 15"
remember Brennan's [CIA] assessment done in early Dec, the one Brennan reportedly leaked to the Press before showing to the intelligence committees? that assessment worked its way into the ICA Jan 6 report? thehill.com/homenews/31094…
optics sure appear to indicate they [White House] knew exactly what they were doing before (unmasking/raw intelligence) and after Trump won the election (distributing raw intelligence)
all this comes months after Brennan was already receiving a separate stream of intelligence on the dossier, had assets in the field eavesdropping on Americans while coordinating with inter-agency fusion cell (reportedly, FBI Strzok was part of cell).
