As Twitchy reported (thanks to Sharyl Attkisson), Comey seemed more than a tad bit forgetful during his testimony about a plethora of details, especially when it came to the FISA court and various investigations that were supposedly done while he was in charge of the FBI.
Seems an odd thing to forget, doncha think?
Comey knew about the funding of the dossier. So did the FISA court — because it was noted in the application. https://t.co/R04RqXPHp2 https://t.co/BQxCiYUHPh

He knew.
Of course, he knew.
Maybe he just forgot he knew. OR he knew he needed to forget that he knew … this could get confusing.
1) in fact, the secret funders were obscured from FISA court
2) @comey denied knowing who funded it as recently as 4/26:@BretBaier: When did you learn that the DNC and Hilary Clinton campaign had funded Christopher Steele's work?@Comey: Yes. I still don't know that for a fact. https://t.co/lS73xCUcBn— Mollie (@MZHemingway) December 11, 2018
But he did know.
And we know he knew.
And he knows we know he knew.
The only reason we know Hillary Clinton and DNC secretly bought and paid for Russian info operation was because they leaked that fact to friendly WP reporters on the eve of a court forcing disclosure. Republican oversight forced that revelation, fought vociferously by Adam Schiff

Good ol’ Adam Schitt … err … Schiff.
That will never get old.
Because he played dumb and acted as if Steele was onboard during Free Beacon's relationship with Fusion, not well afterwards.

He was more than happy to blame some right-wing outlet, yup.
correct. He falsely said Free Beacon had funded dossier. They had funded separate anti-Trump efforts with Fusion GPS. Was an amazing moment to witness him say these things on live national television.

We’re not sure ‘amazing’ is the word that we would use but it works.
If Comey signed a FISA document with the title “verified” on it… and he now admits the dossier was not verified… isn’t that against the law?

Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.
But even we can tell something strange is afoot at the Circle K.
Stay tuned.
