The 2017 soft coup revealed an anti-[[democracy|democratic]] mindset hostile to [[constitution]]al governance among [[Progressive]] [[globalism|globalists]].

John Brennan attached Hillary Clinton's unverified opposition research to the official Presidential Daily Briefing book for Obama. Obama ordered two pages, the "pee-pee" memo, to be shared with ~~Trump~~. Obama already had Trump under surveillance as an "agent of a foreign power." The special classified briefing for the President-elect was then leaked by James Clapper to the Washington media, allowing them to use briefing the President-elect as a news story (a "news hook") to justify reporting unsubstantiated smears which, by ordinary journalistic standards, would otherwise prevent the media from publishing uncorroborated garbage.

When CNN broke the story of the dossier's sensational allegations co-written by Evan Perez - a friend and former colleague of FusionGPS principal Glenn Simpson, it cleared the way for ''BuzzFeed'' to publish the entire dossier, and signaled that the intelligence community was implementing the "insurance policy". This completed a circular echo chamber.

*'''Afternoon.''' '''Oval Office meeting to frame ~~Trump~~.''' Obama, Biden, Rice, Yates, Clapper, Brennan and Comey in attendance.

President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities "by the book". The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.

Together with Susan Rice, this is where the “by the book” CYA comment comes into play. The 90-day surveillance period under the FISA warrant would have had just a bit over two weeks left to run — it was set to expire just as Trump was to take office. (Reporting suggests that there may also have been a FISA warrant on Paul Manafort around this time.) The Obama administration was therefore confronting a deadline if the FISA warrant was to be renewed while Obama was still in power. The officials in the meeting would need to figure out how the investigation could continue despite the fact that its central focus, Trump, was about to be sworn in as president. Rice’s “by the book” bunkum is transparent: Obama officials claimed to adhere to a book that forbade consultations between political leaders and investigators. But here they were consulting. So Rice tried to cover the tracks in her email: She revises history such that the consultation morphs into a mere friendly reminder that Obama wanted everything done by the book.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/susan-rice-email-president-obama-russia-investigation/</ref>

*'''6 January.''' DNI James Clapper issues ''Intelligence Community Assessment'' (ICA, also referred to as the ''Joint Analysis Report'') a joint Brennan, Clapper and Comey document consisting of recycled reports on [[RT]] with 2 pages of sexual innuendo from the ''Clinton-Steele dossier''. NSA Dir. Adm. Mike Rogers dissents from the report and did not attend the meeting.<ref>[https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf ]</ref> ''WaPo'' is assured by Obama intelligence bosses 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 public testimony months later, said the dossier and its sources ''were not'' credible enough to incorporate in the Joint ''Intelligence Community Assessment'' on Russian election interference publicly leaked by the administration. 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. Congressional investigators suggest a classified version of the ''Intelligence Community Assessment'' contradicts Brennan's sworn testimony.

:*'''9:44 A.M.''' FBI Chief of Staff [[Jim Rybicki]] sent an email to unspecified recipients stating "the director is coming into HQ briefly for an update from the sensitive matter team."<ref>https://sharylattkisson.com/2018/05/22/the-sensitive-matter-team/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29 </ref>

*'''Comey, Clapper and Brennan brief ~~Trump~~.''' Comey, Clapper, Brennan and Mike Rogers travel to Trump Tower to brief President-elect Trump on the ''Intelligence Community Assessment'' of Russian election interference. At the end of the meeting Comey asks for a one-on-one briefing with ~~Trump~~. Comey tells ~~Trump~~ of the "salacios" allegations manufactured by the Clinton campaign, makes no mention of their origin, or of the FBI's surveillance of [[Carter Page]], [[Paul Manafort]], and [[Michael Cohen]] based on the same Hillary Clinton opposition research, and represents it as supposed "intelligence".

*'''Comey to Clapper: Mission Accomplished'''. Comey memo notes, {{quotebox|'''I said there was something that Clapper wanted me to speak to the PE [President-Elect] about alone or in a very small group. I then executed the session exactly as I had planned.''' I told him [President Trump] that I wanted to meet with him to tell him more about what is in the reports written by [redacted – likely Steele]. I said that the written reports themselves were [redacted] and '''the content known at IC senior level''' and that I didn’t want him to get caught cold by some of the detail. I said I wasn’t saying this was true, only that I wanted him to know both that '''it had been reported and that the reports were in many hands'''. I said media like '''CNN had them and were looking for a news hook'''. I said it was '''important that we not give them the excuse to write that the FBI has the material''' or [REDACTED] and that '''we were keeping it very close-hold'''. [''bolden added'']}} The media had widely dismissed the ''Steele dossier'' as unsubstantiated and unreportable. Clapper's second leak to CNN - that Comey had briefed President-elect Trump - created the news hook CNN was looking for.

:*'''12:55 P.M.''' McCabe emails [[Sally Yates]] and PADAG [[Matthew Axelrod]] with the subject line "News." McCabe wrote "Just an FYI, and as expected, CNN is close to running a story about the sensitive reporting."

*'''10 January.''' '''Clapper [[leak]]s to CNN.''' Clapper leaks briefing ~~Trump~~ on the Clinton campaign's allegations that Trump consorted with prostitutes in an unsavory way to Jake Tapper of CNN, creating the "news hook" CNN needed to report details.<ref>https://saraacarter.com/former-dni-james-clapper-allegedly-leaked-to-cnn-investigation-revealed/</ref> One hour later CNN links to BuzzFeed making the ''Clinton-Steele dossier'' public.<ref>4. One of the seventeen reports in the Dossier—CIR 112—accused the Plaintiffs of criminal conduct and participation in an alleged Trump-Russia scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election. Defendants knew that this Report was not verified, and that it defamed Plaintiffs on its face. Defendants could easily have removed that Report from the Dossier before they started peddling the Dossier to media and journalists in September and October 2016. They chose not to do so. Nor did they attempt to determine the veracity of that Report with the Plaintiffs themselves.

Nor did they attempt to determine the veracity of that Report with the Plaintiffs themselves.

5. At all times during the Defendants’ engagement of Orbis and Steele, it was either intended or clearly foreseeable that the Dossier’s contents would be republished (in whole or in part) to third parties, either by the Defendants themselves or their clients. Indeed, that is the entire purpose of “oppo research” in politics. Those third parties included government officials, as well as news media and journalists who could make its content public.

6. On information and belief, Defendants arranged for Steele to brief selected members of the print and online media about the information he was compiling on candidate Trump. Consistent with the intended purpose of “oppo research” to publicly discredit its target, Steele’s briefings were designed to generate interest in the Dossier and secure its eventual public dissemination. Briefings were held for journalists from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Yahoo News, and others in September 2016. Shortly thereafter, Yahoo News published an article by Michael Isikoff that described some of the content of the Dossier (referred to there as “intelligence reports” and “reports”), which was still being compiled at that time.1
