→Comey's blackmail attempt
===Comey's blackmail attempt===
===Comey's blackmail attempt===
The same day of the release of the public version of the Joint Analysis Report with the Clinton-funded smears, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and Adm. Rogers traveled to [[New York]] to brief President-elect Trump. 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.
