With probing questions and relentless redirects, prosecutor exposes FBI for omissions, deletions, peculiar lack of curiosity and a $1 million bounty to pursue Trump.
Igor Danchenko is the named defendant at this week's trial, charged with lying as an informant in the now discredited Russia collusion investigation. But with probing questions and searing redirects, Special Counsel John Durham has turned the Russian researcher's trial in the U.S. District courtroom in Alexandria, Va., into an expose of stunning FBI failures and omissions in its now-infamous pursuit of Donald Trump for crimes that turned out to be nonexistent.
While the Hillary Clinton-spawned Russian collusion narrative has been the subject of a half dozen exhaustive investigations in the House, Senate and Justice Department, Durham has managed to use his third and widely assumed last trial to drop bombshell after bombshell that other inquiries failed to uncover. Even the most versed in the case have been stunned.
The effort began during pretrial motions.
Danchenko, the primary source for the now-debunked Steele dossier, was someone who had both lied to FBI agents and had troubling ties to Russian intelligence. But Durham revealed he was inexplicably hired by the bureau, despite that record, to be a paid confidential human source for three years.

Just tell me how many Raids he executed .

October...well, surprise isn’t a good word for Durham - distraction.
October Distraction.
“... Durham revealed he was inexplicably hired by the bureau, despite that record, to be a paid confidential human source for three years.”
That’s not inexplicable. The FBI hired him as a CI because then, when questioned by Congress about where the information came from to verify the dossier, they could say “we can’t reveal sources and methods, blah blah blah”. It’s standard CYA procedure.
Yup- Joe six pack and his women are content to stay in the dark. The MSM controls what they see.
Mind-boggling abuse of power. Wake up, people. Your freedom is at stake.
Durham feels Deshenko got better offers than he did for services delivered. Really.
They weren't failures. They were deliberate. As were the omissions.

That, and the case is being presented to a rat jury, so conviction is highly unlikely, unless the jurists get confused by the defendant being Russian and figure he’s bad, by definition.
ho-hum.
Unindicted co-conspirators
‘in “any investigation of potential collusion between the Russian Government and a political campaign, it is appropriate and necessary for the FBI to consider whether information it receives via foreign nationals may be a product of Russian intelligence efforts or disinformation.”
In the end, the FBI did not seriously consider that possibility, even after the CIA warned of such possibilities and revealed Hillary Clinton’s team was behind the planting of the narrative during the height of the 2016 election.’
Kind of makes you wonder whether it was just coincidence that Russia was happy to plant dirt on Trump through Hillary’s sources, or whether Hillary was colluding with the Russians to get dirt on Trump.
But that’s probably a question that nobody in DC is going to ask.
We were also lied and propagandized into another war
The only constant is that no matter what is reveled, NOTHING happens to anybody.
The FIB is clearly not on trial.
Durham is a dud. [as expected after a few months of his “work” became evident]
At stake? It's gone.
I am convinced this was done for the profit motive. There are NO good guys that are a party to this conflict, including the US as it is directed by the Biden crime family and corrupt Reps/Senators/bureaucrats.
We MUST find a way to restrain the thievery perpetrated by our government on our citizens. It is heinous.
Exactly so. All of the bad guys are put on the payroll so that no incriminating evidence need ever be released. Their sources and their methods are thoroughly rotten. But aren't allowed to see that.
