How the FBI Lost, Found, and Rewarded the Alleged Russian Spy Pivotal to Surveilling Trump
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 6/1/23 | Paul Sperry

Twelve years ago, FBI agents in Baltimore sought to wiretap former Brookings Institution analyst Igor Danchenko on suspicions he was spying for Russia. But the counterintelligence analyst they were assigned to work with ‒ Brian Auten ‒ told them he could not find their target and assumed the Russian national had fled back to Moscow.

But Danchenko had not left the U.S., court documents show. He was living in the Washington area. In fact, he had been arrested in Maryland in 2013 by federal Park Police for being drunk and disorderly, something the FBI analyst could have easily discovered by searching federal law enforcement databases. Clueless, the FBI closed its espionage case on Danchenko.

Auten would quickly rise to become the FBI’s top Russian analyst. In 2016 and 2017, he failed to properly vet the Steele dossier, a collection of salacious allegations created for Hillary Clinton’s campaign which sought to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, before clearing it as the central piece of evidence used by the FBI to obtain warrants to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Paul Sperry, at Real Clear has done an excellent job over the past few years documenting the corruption of the FBI in connection with the Russia/Trump collusion Clinton/DOJ/FBI criminal conspiracy.

This is an interesting read regarding Danchenko and Brian Auten, the counterintellgence anaylyst, who was heavily involved in pushing the collusion investigation into Trump.

A long but very good article. It clearly shows how the FBI set up Pres. Trump and Page.

“Good, detailed article. Thanks.”


You’re very welcome. Paul Sperry, with RCI, has been spot-on with his reporting on the Russia/Trump collusion allegations over the past few years. His articles are posted at one of the daily most-read sites regarding political issues. Yet all other media sites have ignored his reporting. If you went back and read his articles in chronological order, you would have almost a complete history of the criminal conspiracy put in place by HRC and the DOJ/FBI against Donald Trump and others.
