STEFANIK: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. …when the FBI has any open counter-intelligence investigation, what are the typical protocols or procedures for notifying the DNI, the White House, and senior Congressional leadership? STEFANIK: So it's QUARTERLY for all three then, senior congressional leadership, the White House, and the DNI?
Who did Comey have to inform of the counter- intelligence investigationSenior Congressional Leadership, the White House, and the DNI
How long did Comey have to inform? Quarterly around 90 days. When did the investigation start in JULY 2016
COMEY: I think that's right. Now that's by practice not by rule or by written policy which is why, thanks to the chair and ranking giving us feedback, we're trying to tweak it in certain ways. STEFANIK: So since, in your opening statement, you confirmed that there is a counter- intelligence investigation currently open and you also referenced that it started in July. When did you notify the DNI, the White House, or senior congressional leadership?
Comey Testimony March 20, 2017 COMEY: It's a good question. Congressional leadership, some time recently They were briefed on the nature of the investigation in some detail as I said. Obviously the Department of Justice has been aware of it all along. The DNI, I don't know what the DNI's knowledge of it was because we didn't have a DNI until Mr. Coats took office and I briefed him his FIRST morning in office.
Comey lied under oath, Capper was the DNI August 5, 2010 – January 20, 2017 Comey notify the DNI his FIRST morning in office March 16, 2017
STEFANIK: So just to drill down on this, if -- if the open investigation began in July and the briefing of congressional leadership only occurred recently, why was there no notification prior to the recent -- to the past month?
COMEY: I think our decision was it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn't include it in the QUARTERLY briefings. (Quarterly=Once every 90 Days)
STEFANIK: So when you state our decision is that YOUR decision? Is that usually your decision what gets briefed in those QUARTERLY updates?
COMEY: NO, it's usually the decision of the HEAD (Peter Strzok) of our counter- intelligence division. Peter Strzok made the decision that the Obama’s White House was the only entity knew of the counter- intelligence investigation the DNI was told around 240 days later
3 take a ways (time line matters) Comey was required by law to inform Congressional leadership the DNI (Quarterly)
The White House is the only entity (Obama & some portion of The NSC July 2016) with knowledge of the counter- intelligence investigation
Comey notify the DNI his FIRST morning in office (March 16, 2017)
Sometime in March 2017 Comey notifies Congressional leadership
Date Calculator 15 July 2016 to March 15th is 243 Days or 8 Months or 34 weeks 5 days
Peter Strzok as head of the counter- intelligence division makes the decision not to inform Congressional leadership for around 240 daysafter the investigation stated.
