The primary source for former British spy Christopher Steele's unverified dossier working for the Brookings Institution research group "makes sense," Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Tuesday.
In an interview on "Fox & Friends," Jarrett explained that he had previously run into former Brookings Institution senior research analyst Igor Danchenko's name several times.
"I could never piece it together. Because frankly...it is so wild and stupid that Steele's source was not from Russia but -- it's a guy in Washington, D.C. working for the liberal Brookings Institution," he said.
"Now, it sort of makes sense because the president of Brookings at the time was Strobe Talbott: [a] long-time Hillary Clinton ally who was hoping to fuel the collusion narrative and had his own contacts with Christopher Steele," said Jarrett.
"And, it turns out that Talbott's brother-in-law is the Clinton sycophant Cody Shearer," he added. "I write about him extensively in my book 'Witch Hunt' -- how he created a second dossier, contents of which were transcribed into Christopher Steele's phony dossier."
"So, I mean, the machinations of this -- and it's all Hillary Clinton. Her campaign is paying for the dossier. And, it turns out some of her allies are feeding the dossier information, all fabricated," Jarrett remarked.
A lawyer for Igor Danchenko, 42, confirmed to The New York Times on Saturday that his client provided the information to Steele, whose dossier was used by the FBI to obtain wiretaps of Carter Page, the former Trump campaign adviser.
The FBI knew who Danchenko was and interviewed him in 2017 about the information he provided for the Steele dossier that purported to show Trump campaign ties to the Russian government. Danchenko cooperated on the condition the FBI keep his identity secret so he could protect himself, the paper reported.

Still the same old bullshit. The dossier wasnt unverified, is was fake and they all knew it. It had no Russian intelligence source, it was created right there in Steele’s office with his buddies. The FBI wasn’t duped or tricked, they were trying to overthrow the President with deliberate crap.
This latest version of the story is still nothing more than still trying to claim they were tricked by Russian operatives, and that the only crime was being gullible, or the dossier was not verified.
They will admit anything except that it was a criminal conspiracy
Are you sure that wasn’t Egor, his evil twin brother?
I suppose the question now is whether Igor wrote most his own stuff or whether it was crowdsourced across Brookings.
It was either the Brookings Institution or the Council on Foreign Relations.
Both are deep state academic cess pits.
Yep, I’d bet the farm the lot of them knew Igor was the source and that it was total fiction.
I meant post #7 for you.
So, it turns out that in 2016, the only Presidential candidate actually engaged in “RUSSIAN COLLUSION” was HilLIARY Clinton!!!
He had contract with alleged real and fake sources. He compiled the dossier. He was in contact with the Clinton campaign, the FBI, McCain, Fussion GPS, and heaven knows who else.
He has connections to everyone. He knows all the secrets of who was involved and what their role was.
Trump and Barr should be pressuring UK officials to force Steele to cooperate with the investigation.
the president of Brookings at the time was Strobe Talbott,
longtime Soros operative.
Thanks, another indication the Clintons and Soros are tighter than ticks.
