Comey Admits He Didn’t Tell Trump That Clinton, Democrats Funded Dossier
Comey admits he never told Trump that Clinton, DNC funded the dossier.

Comey worried Obama's DOJ would tamper with the Clinton email probe.
Former FBI Director James Comey claims “it wasn’t necessary” to inform President Donald Trump that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee funded the discredited dossier, according to The Daily Caller.
In his new book, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” Comey mostly spews salacious claims and tabloid gossip. But he also makes several bombshell admissions, including how he hid the darkest secret from Trump.
The thousands of hours spent “investigating.” The countless American tax dollars spent on “fairness in the election system”. All built around the Democrats’ hit document. And Comey never said a word, allowing the unfounded attack against President Trump to snowball into a national frenzy.
During a teaser video previewing his interview with ABC host George Stephanopoulos, which airs on Sunday, Comey admits that he did not tell Trump the dossier was funded by Clinton and the DNC because he didn’t view it as “necessary.”
“Did you tell him the Steele dossier had been financed by his political opponents?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“No, I don’t even think I used the words ‘Steele Dossier,’” Comey replied. “I just talked about additional material.”
“Did he have a right to know that?” Stephanopoulos fired back.
“That it had been financed by his political opponents? I don’t know the answer to that,” Comey said. “It wasn’t necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information.”
In January 2017, Comey met with Trump for a private dinner to discuss the Russia investigation and the salacious dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
From late 2015 to early 2016, the left-wing firm Fusion GPS hired Steele to compile the dossier. As the 2016 presidential election was ramping up, Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS roughly $9 million to fund Steele’s anti-Trump operation.
The FBI, which was led by Comey at the time, and the Department of Justice used the Clinton-DNC funded dossier to launch the Russia investigation against Trump. Comey didn’t think it was necessary to tell Trump that, and deliberately hid the dossier funding from the president of the United States.
Perhaps Comey didn’t tell Trump about the dossier funding because it knew how shady it looked. A Clinton-DNC funded hit piece was used by Comey’s FBI to trigger the Russia investigation against Trump.
Some have argued this is one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. On Friday, Trump nuked Comey in a pair of tweets.
Calling him a “proven leaker and liar,” Trump said everyone in Washington D.C. hated Comey and agrees that he should be prosecuted for leaking classified information.
James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and…..

….untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!
