In A Tale Of Three Dossiers I failed to include a major point that Devin Nunes included. Nunes included among the current areas of focus for investigators: What information did the CIA give the FBI in 2016. Here's exactly what Nunes said:
In 2016, we know from great work that Trey Gowdy did at the time … that the CIA gave information over to the FBI in 2016. We now are laser-focused on that. We need to know: Exactly what did the CIA give to the FBI in 2016?
That's it--no other explanation. Fortunately, J. E. Dyer is on the case and, thanks to emailer Todd, I've finally finished reading her lastest. As we'll see, what Nunes said actually ties in to his main point about the Three Dossiers. Here's the link:
Why you should care that Nunes says House intelligence focus is on ‘info CIA gave to FBI in 2016’
The article is long and somewhat complex. Here's what I take to be the 25 words or less (well ...) version of it.
Dyer begins by noting two things that Brennan said in testimony before the House in May, 2017:
I was aware of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons…and it served as the basis for the FBI investigation.
...
I made sure that anything that was involving U.S. persons, including anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign was shared with the bureau [FBI].
Dyer boils that down to these bullet points:
Brennan stated [that]
1. he gave information to the FBI about Russia-U.S. person contacts;
2. [] some of the information involved the Trump campaign;
3. and [] this information served as the basis for the FBI investigation.
