In fact, the IG reports shredded the FBI and said that they didn\u2019t follow protocol, that they ignored counterintelligence. So they pushed the Steele dossier forward, and these were two of the key individuals who did that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the question is does any of this trip the wire to perjury? Both of these are sophisticated players,\u201d Turley added. \u201cYou\u2019ll notice that they\u2019re very careful in how they word this. You know Comey is very careful to say that there wasn\u2019t basically malicious intent. Not that there weren\u2019t mistakes, and time and time again Comey portrayed himself as ignorant of all of these countervailing sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PLAY:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rumble\" src=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v6tq1pa\/?pub=4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sources told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that an investigation into James Comey and John Brennan is underway, with some insiders saying the FBI is reportedly treating their testimonies as part of a potential \u201cconspiracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the outlet, the probe centers on a 2016 email from the then-deputy CIA director warning Brennan that including the Steele dossier in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) could undermine \u201cthe credibility of the entire paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite this warning, Brennan later testified before Congress in May 2023 that the CIA \u201cwas very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment.\u201d Brennan said: \u201cAnd so they sent over a copy of the dossier to say that this was going to be separate from the rest of that assessment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div id=\"gform_wrapper_16\" class=\"gf_browser_chrome gform_wrapper gform-theme gform-theme--foundation gform-theme--framework gform-theme--orbital gpoll_enabled_wrapper gpoll_wrapper\" data-form-theme=\"orbital\" data-form-index=\"0\">\n<div id=\"gf_16\" class=\"gform_anchor\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gform_heading\">\n<p class=\"gform_required_legend\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"gform_16\" class=\"gpoll_enabled gpoll\" action=\"https:\/\/usajournal.news\/2025\/07\/09\/turley-says-comeys\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNOMv9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3VlEzMFlsdmFBUVc1ZktzAR75CQAToo44s0AQjSpfDD2ZvOwEnJy1hMP1XUNqbbLCDgqIguIM8kCZS7OSlA_aem__PPCCrXwdw0z6seayhzGUg#gf_16\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" method=\"post\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"gform_ajax_frame_16\" data-formid=\"16\">\n<div class=\"gform-body gform_body\">\n<div id=\"gform_fields_16\" class=\"gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_below description_below validation_below\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley appeared on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Ingraham Angle\u201d on Tuesday and questioned whether former FBI Director James Comey\u2019s 2020 Senate testimony could potentially lead &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15698"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15700,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15698\/revisions\/15700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
