There's a problem w/Brennan's claim IC can't be held responsible for leak of dossier that "was already out there." https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/01/16/the-significance-of-the-december-13-trump-dossier-report/ …
True. It relies on Guardian's date of December 9 being accurate. But given public dates, it is a problem w/Brennan claim.

But then, as I note in that piece and an earlier one, I've got more basic questions abt provenance of this dossier released

Sort of hard to prove both sets of conclusions at the same time.

So I've raised 2 cautions. 1) reasons to doubt provenance. 2) dates don't line up w/public story. Both seem worth noting?

What is certain, however, is that Clapper's claim IC was the last to know is not true, if FBI CI team = IC.

I think the entire proposed narrative is a little bit confusing.

Not just confusing! It keeps changing. Claims made in October are being walked back in interesting ways.
