The next morning Dir. Brennan released an unclassified version of the ''Joint Analysis Report'', a joint Comey, Clapper and Brennan document consisting of recycled reports on [[Russia Today]] (RT) with 2 pages of sexual innuendo from the ''Clinton-Steele dossier''. NSA Dir. [[Adm. Mike Rogers]] dissented from the report.<ref>[https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf ]</ref> The ''[[Washington Post]]'' was assured that "the sources involved in the [Clinton-Steele dossier's] reporting were credible enough to warrant inclusion in the highly classified [presidential] report.”<ref>http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-russia-allegations-20170110-story.html</ref> Brennan however in later public testimony said the dossier and its sources ''were not'' credible enough to incorporate in the ''Joint Analysis Report'' on Russian election interference. Brennan swore the ''Clinton-Steele dossier'' did not “in any way” factor into the [[CIA]]'s assessment that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump. The classified version of Comey, Clapper and Brennan's  ''Joint Analysis Report'' congressional investigators found contradicts Brennan's sworn testimony. Furthermore, Brennan never received any intelligence reporting from allied intelligence bureaus as he repeatedly claimed, which he supposedly passed along to the FBI which became the " legal" basis of opening a foreign counterintelligence investigation on American citizens in July 2016.<ref>https://www.themarketswork.com/2018/04/22/nunes-interview-no-official-intelligence-used-problems-for-brennan/ </ref>

The same day of the release Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and Adm. Rogers traveled to [[New York]] to brief President-elect Trump on the ''Joint Analysis Report''. Comey asked for a one-on-one briefing with Trump at the end of the meeting. Without informing Trump of the true origins which Comey knew was [[Democrat]] and Clinton opposition talking points, Comey represented the "salacious" allegations to Trump as some sort of official US government intelligence report. It fundamentally was an effort by Comey to [[blackmail]] the new president, as J. Edgar Hoover had done with the seven president's Hoover served under over his 47 year career, which is why Congress limited the term of future directors and created [[judicial]] oversight of the FBI by the FISA court.

In his Congressional testimony Comey swore the dossier was "salacious and unverifed" although the FBI/DOJ used it to obtain FISA surveillance warrants on the Trump campaign in October 2016.
