Durham Update, Trial Day 1: Obstruction of Congress Now Confirmed!

Today was Day 1 of the Danchenko trial and I have a HUGE update for you!

We learned a lot.

First of all, you can’t make this stuff up…Dan Scavino just posted a video today of water (remember, Watch The Water?) with a song playing behind it saying: “It’s about to get crazy // it’s about to go down”…and then it ends with a pan to Mar-a-lago.

I’m sure Dan just thought that was a nice video and it wasn’t meant to send a huge message?

Riiiiight.

Watch here:

Dan also posted this to TruthSocial…

The light starting to shine on Trump:

Ok, now let’s dig into the meat because there’s a LOT here.

Let’s start with the biggest bombshell we learned today…

Here’s the headline from Fox News:

Durham probe: FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to corroborate Trump allegations in dossier

Oh my!

Folks, this is huge on so many levels!

First of all, they lied about this for over 5 years…never admitted it despite Congressional subpoenas!

Also, let’s not lose track of the fact that is $1 million of our tax dollars going towards trying to frame a guy they didn’t like!

Oh, and then there’s the obstruction of Congress, lying by saying no such documents or bribes existing.

It’s all out now!

And how stunning that Durham kept that confidential with no leaks until he sprung it on them in the trial!

The FBI offered ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele $1 million to corroborate salacious allegations made in his dossier against Donald Trump and members of his 2016 campaign, but he was unable to do so, an FBI official testified Tuesday. 

From Fox News:

The FBI offered ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele $1 million to corroborate salacious allegations made in his dossier against Donald Trump and members of his 2016 campaign, but he was unable to do so, an FBI official testified Tuesday.

FBI supervisory counterintelligence analyst Brian Auten was the first witness in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the Russian national who served as the primary sub-source for Steele’s anti-Trump dossier and has been charged with five counts of making false statements to the bureau.

The jury found that Special Counsel John Durham’s team had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Sussmann’s statement was a lie.

Auten testified that he and a group of FBI agents went overseas in early October of 2021 to speak with Steele about the dossier. During questioning by Special Counsel John Durham Tuesday, Auten said that during those meetings, the FBI offered Steele $1 million dollars if he could corroborate allegations in the dossier. Auten testified that Steele could not do so.

Auten also said that the FBI had no corroboration of allegations in the dossier, but, nevertheless took that information and inserted it into the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

“On October 21, 2016 (the date of the Carter Page FISA application) did you have any information to corroborate that information?” Durham asked.

“No,” Auten said, confirming that the FBI began receiving Steele’s reports, later known as the dossier, on Sept. 19, 2016, and submitted its first FISA application on Page on Oct. 21, 2016.

Auten also said the FBI reached out to other intelligence agencies to see if they could corroborate information relating to dossier, which was commissioned by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through law firm Perkins Coie.

Auten repeatedly admitted under questioning from Durham that the FBI never received corroboration of the information in the Steele dossier, but stressed that it was used in the initial FISA application and in the three subsequent renewals.

Here’s what Kash had to say:

“Your breaking news shows us the depths that they would go to falsely corroborate the Steele Dossier… more importantly they were willing to spend $1 million taxpayer dollars on shoveling political hot garbage though the federal court system just to surveil a political target that was totally baseless…”
