The same day of the release of the public version of the official ''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 at the end of the meeting. Without informing Trump of the true origins of the "intelligence", 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. | The same day of the release of the public version of the official ''Joint Analysis Report'' with the Clinton-funded smears, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and Adm.
