Nunes plans to soon release a separate report detailing the Obama State Department’s role in creating and disseminating the dossier -- which has emerged as the foundation of the Obama administration's Russia “collusion” investigation. Among other things, the report will identify Obama-appointed diplomats who worked with partisan operatives close to Hillary Clinton to help ex-British spy Christopher Steele compile the dossier, sources say.
The aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Nunes will focus on
Brennan as well as President Obama’s first CIA director,
Leon Panetta, along with the former president’s intelligence czar,
James Clapper, and national security adviser,
Susan Rice, and security adviser-turned U.N. ambassador
Samantha Power, among other intelligence officials.
...Brennan later swore the dossier did not “in any way” factor into the CIA's assessment that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump. However, congressional investigators suggest a still-classified version of the January 2017 intelligence report contradicts his claim. Also in his May 2017 testimony, Brennan swore he had no idea who commissioned the dossier.
