1) My Latest @EpochTimes Comey’s Trump Tower Meeting Was Used For FBI’s Counterintelligence Investigation

Meeting described by former FBI Director Comey as a ‘defensive briefing,’ but it was used to gain information from Trump, new IG report reveals

2) Comey told Horowitz that the information he obtained from his conversation with Trump “ought to be treated…[like] FISA derived information or information in a [counterintelligence] investigation.”
3) In other words, his meeting with Trump had very direct surveillance overtones and intentions—and directly counters what he had testified to Congress.
4) This is despite Comey's Congressional testimony, that he told Trump at the Jan. 6, 2017, meeting that the President was not under investigation by the FBI, noting, “sir, we’re not personally investigating you.”
5) multiple FBI witnesses said the meeting was intended, in part, to see how President-elect Trump reacted to the allegations and whether he would reveal new information useful for their counterintelligence investigation.
6) “Multiple FBI witnesses recalled agreeing ahead of time that Comey should memorialize his meeting with Trump immediately after it occurred,” the IG report reads.
7) Comey told the IG that “he had a secure FBI laptop waiting for him in his FBI vehicle and that when he got into the vehicle, he was handed the laptop and “began typing [Memo 1] as the vehicle moved.”
