A sixteen-member jury was selected on Tuesday and opening arguments were set for Tuesday afternoon in the trial of Igor Danchenko.
Danchenko a Russian national charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI in regard to the origins of the Steele Dossier.
Sean Langille from FOX News Night tweeted this out from court earlier today.
Sean Langille: During questioning from Special Counsel John Durham, Brian Auten, a supervisory counter intelligence analyst with the FBI, revealed the FBI offered Christopher Steele one million dollars if he could corroborate allegations in the Dossier, but that Steele could not do so. Auten repeatedly admitted under questioning from Durham that the FBI never got corroboration of the information in the Steele Dossier but used it in the initial FISA application and in the three subsequent renewals.
Agent Brian Auten is another shady operative who ran the raid of President Trump’s home. The FBI is still out to get Trump all of these years later.
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Igor Danchenko and his Deep State connections.
On July 19th 2020 TGP broke the story that the Primary Sub-Source (PSS) for the Steele dossier was Igor Danchenko – the individual behind most of the made up lies in the Steele dossier.
Danchenko is the main individual those investigating the Trump-Russia collusion fraud wanted to identify – the PSS – the individual who was behind the material amount of Steele dossier lies. The Deep State kept Danchenko’s name hidden for nearly four years.
His trial is this week.
Following yesterday’s breaking news on the million-dollar reward offered to liar Chris Steele, Kash Patel called for Chris Wray’s immediate impeachment.
Kash Patel: I would say I’m floored by this. But the FBI corruption as you would say, John, Amanda and I talked about, never ceases to amaze me. The confidential human source corruption coverup network as I have called it is now yet in play again. We proved the dossier was full of garbage and we proved the FBI knew it was false information but they went ahead and lied to a federal court anyway. Now your breaking news shows us the depths that they would go to falsely corroborate the Steele dossier. Which as you point out shows, they didn’t have it verified which we said the whole time. And more importantly, they were willing to spend a million taxpayer dollars on shoveling political hot garbage through the federal court system just to surveil a political target that was totally baseless. It was baseless then. This extra layer adds another reason for Chris Wray’s immediate impeachment.
