New Durham bombshell: FBI paid Russian accused of lying as a confidential informant against Trump
JustTheNews ^ | September 13, 2022 | John Solomon

In a bombshell revelation, Special Prosecutor John Durham revealed Tuesday in court filings that the FBI paid a Russian businessman as a confidential human source in the investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign even though it had prior concerns that businessman was tied to Moscow's intelligence services.

Durham persuaded the federal judge in the upcoming trial of Igor Danchenko to unseal a motion revealing that Danchenko, the primary source of the now-discredited Steele dossier, was paid by the FBI as a confidential human source for more than three years until the fall of 2020 when he was terminated for lying to agents.

The revelation means that the FBI first fired former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, the author of the Hillary Clinton-funded dossier, as a human source in November 2016 for having unauthorized contacts with the news media. And it then turned around a few months later and hired Steele's primary informer to work with the bureau even after determining some of Danchenko's statements in the Steele dossier were uncorroborated or exaggerated.

This is not the “Russian interference” they are looking for so it will simply be ignored.

In a sane time with a fair press this would be scandalous. Sadly, we do not live in such a time.

Kash Patel on the same subject. FBI knew the Steele dossier was phony in Jan. '17.

They have been dirty for decades. The FBI are scum, every last one of them. If an agent was actively dirty, he was dirty in his silence and inaction. They all need to be fired and barred from working in government forever. Perhaps they could get jobs as mall cops. That’s just about what they are worth. (No offense intended to mall cops)

The FBI instigated the coup attempt against Trump, so naturally they are now out to destroy him and any associates through fabricated charges of insurrection to coverup their original crime.

“Russia!” Is, like other charges, only serious when it is a Democrat doing the accusing.

That’s exactly what was in the documents confiscated from Mar-a-Lago, or so some people say.

This is supposed to be news? If you read and listen to Dan Bongino, this is no surprise whatsoever. After Christopher Steele was ‘officially’ dropped from working with the FBI, he was still reimbursed for the ‘work’ he was doing for Billary and company. The entire Russia fiasco was invented to first stop Trump from becoming President, and then undermine him, try to drive him out of office, and cover up all the lies and shenanigans.

And perhaps more importantly, deflect and cover up Obama’s involvement in 1) the Russia Hoax, and 2) every other nefarious scheme he and Billary were hip deep into. The UNSPOKEN truth is all the emails BETWEEN Billary and Obama. There was a great deal of controversy when Obama (or his handlers) insisted upon Obama carrying his own Blackberry. It had to be somewhat secure, who knows with democRATS. Billary’s Russia / uranium deal, all the pay to play with the Clinton ‘Foundation.’ Massive amounts of money were given directly to both Clintons, and even more to the ‘Foundation.’ The Clinton Crime Syndicate uses the Foundation to live and travel in luxury. Obama adds another mansion or 2 every few years. Right now the Obama / Biden Regime are printing and stealing as much as possible before they are shut down.

I believe President Trump said that long ago. He reasoning was the Russians wanted Hillary to win because Trump would be tough on Russia.

Have you been to a mall lately? There aren’t any stores to rob.

I was going to make the same point

Maybe the FIB could guard the empty parking lots and abandoned stores in the malls?

Of course, they were.

They were the nerve center of the coup against PDJT.
