It seems like the FBI has degraded itself to the point of just being a social media influencer.

Naw...they're much much more than that. How else are they going to keep on getting invites to those sweeeeet DNC parties!

They're the SS for the DNC.

The DNC is a terrorist organization.

Wife asked me if I'd seen the dog bowl.

I didn't even know he was able to.

So much to unpack.

Where are the perp walks?

Even though the FBI offered $1 million if he would be able to prove any of the claims made in his dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele was unable to do so, an intelligence official testified on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the FBI used the dossier to secure wiretaps to spy on Donald Trump-related individuals and to spread a narrative of treasonous collusion with Russia by the former president.

FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten made the confession during the trial of Igor Danchenko, Steele’s unnamed “Primary Sub-Source” who funneled anti-Trump information manufactured by a Hillary Clinton booster to Steele and is now facing indictment on five counts of lying to the FBI.

Auten said the FBI never paid Steele — who was employed by Fusion GPS, which Clinton’s campaign lawyers commissioned to dig up dirt connecting Trump to Russia — because the British spy could not “prove the allegations” outlined in his dossier. Under questioning from Special Counsel John Durham, who is prosecuting Danchenko, Auten also testified that Steele failed to disclose his sources’ names to the FBI during their formal meeting just one month before the 2016 election.

Several top FBI officials and Steele formally met overseas on Oct. 3, 2016. It was then that the FBI offered Steele $1 million cash to prove his dossier, which contained a long list of false and concocted claims about Trump colluding with Russia to win the White House. As Auten has now repeatedly explained, Steele did not have proof that his findings were true.

Despite Steele’s inability to prove the false allegations of conspiracy and collusion, the FBI used the dossier in its Oct. 21 original application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court demanding permission to spy on Trump and his advisers including Carter Page. The dossier was also included in three more FISA renewal applications, which prolonged government intelligence’s recon on Trump and were later deemed invalid and an abuse of power.

That didn’t stop Steele or his employer from peddling the hoax. In addition to leveraging their connection with the FBI to feed false information about Trump to officials at the Department of Justice and Department of State — which knew, along with the FBI, that surveillance of Trump was based on disinformation — Steele and Fusion GPS coordinated with corporate media to disseminate the unproven and now-discredited material to the voting public.

Auten’s testimony contradicts what the FBI told Congress about Steele and his dossier. During a briefing on March 8, 2017, the FBI told Congress that Steele was not paid “for the information on Russia’s activities relating to Trump and the Trump campaign.” Instead, the FBI claimed that they simply covered Steele’s travel arrangements to “meet with us,” neglecting to mention they had offered him seven figures to prove something he could not.

While it’s true that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz knew the FBI offered Steele money and indicated that in his FISA abuse report, he did not say how much the offer was. It’s unclear if the FBI refused to share the exact number with the inspector general or if Horowitz simply chose not to publicize that number.

Danchenko also gave contradicting statements during his trial. The Russian national claimed he received key information from Sergei Millian, the former head of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce, via an anonymous phone call. Prosecutors, however, say there is no evidence nor are there phone records that indicate Danchenko ever communicated with Millian.

Danchenko also claimed he never “talked” with Charles Dolan, a Democrat operative who worked on Clinton’s campaign, about the dossier. Prosecutors, however, said evidence suggests Danchenko “spoke with Mr. Dolan over email” about the contents of the dossier.

I met Thomas McHale after 911 around 2006 (we've never met in person Yet) but stayed in touch over the years via email, phone and text. He was a NY Port Authority Officer on 911, also a Union Iron worker, in which he gave up that Career to become FBI and did many Covert Ops overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was standing side by side the day Bush showed up at the World Trade Center towers and gave his speach with the Bull Horn. Thomas was standing by the Flag that they had Hung off the I Beam behind Bush. Tom is retired now, basically forced out as he was a whistleblower in some of the FBI Chit that was going on behind closed doors. he sent me links to books he is Honorably mentioned in throughout I'm going to share these here with ya'll if you want to take the time and read them it gives you InSite on the corruption that followed after 911.

BTW we became good friends from my woodworking business, I built his entire "War Room" via USPS, Fed-Ex, UPS, as I said we've never met in person, but when we do he's got access to the rooftop at the new World Trade Center where one day we are both going to enjoy a cigar and a beverage or two and look down and around the entire city!!!

Russ, just to clarify...I'm positive there are some good apples in the alphabet organizations. What's the saying about bad apples in a barrel?

It applies.

The top down needs to be obliterated from breathing air. They're run by criminals for criminals. Lefty still won't admit what the FBI has done to Trump while a private citizen, President and back to private citizen. They see it. They don't ever call it out though. That's why I say the FBI is the SS for the DNC. The DNC really is a terrorist organization. From their inception to now. Born from the Klu Klux Klan, Margret Sanger's material, Jim Crow w/ segregation and all the way to Pedo Joe.

I've read The Reluctant Spy. That was a good book.

Enjoy the view.

OH... I Know DMV.... It's a very sad state we are in and the Corruption isn't going to let up anytime soon or at all? but it trickles on down to even Small town BS. I see it everyday right here in Illinois.

It was the final FISA deception, not merely the FBI’s reliance on the uncorroborated Steele dossier, that led to the illegal surveillance of Carter Page.

Special Counsel John Durham’s deft questioning of FBI agent Brian Auten during the prosecution of Steele-dossier primary sub-source Igor Danchenko confirmed the Crossfire Hurricane team obtained permission to surveil U.S. citizen Carter Page without first verifying the dossier’s claims. While scandalous, the Justice Department’s deceptive framing of Christopher Steele’s source network as connected to his prior work with British intelligence is worse because the higher-ups who authorized the inclusion of this detail in the final revision of the application knew a FISA warrant would likely be denied without the misrepresentation.

The special counsel’s criminal trial against Danchenko on five counts of lying to the FBI began earlier this week in a Virginia federal court, with prosecutor Michael Keilty framing for the jury the significance of Danchenko’s alleged lies during the government’s opening statement.

“The evidence in this trial will show that the Steele dossier would cause the FBI to engage in troubling conduct that would ultimately result in the extended surveillance of the United States citizen,” Keilty began, a reference to the FBI’s FISA-approved surveillance of Page. “And the defendant’s lies played a role in that surveillance,” the prosecution continued, arguing that Danchenko lied about his sources. Specifically, the government explained, the evidence would show Danchenko lied about Sergei Millian being one source and then later falsely denied that Charles Dolan provided other information Danchenko had fed to Steele.

The Uncorroborated Dossier

John Durham then questioned the government’s first witness, Brian Auten. Through Auten, a supervisory intelligence analyst for the FBI who led the analysts working on Crossfire Hurricane, the special counsel elicited testimony for the jury of the origins of the investigation into the Trump campaign and the D.C. headquarters’ receipt of the Steele dossier on Sept. 19, 2016.

From there, Auten walked the jury through a trip to Europe, in which agents offered Steele up to $1 million for information to confirm the dossier allegations, and Steele’s inability to provide evidence to confirm the claims of Trump-Russia collusion. Auten further explained that while Steele refused to identify his sources, by December of 2016, through research, Auten had determined that Danchenko served as Steele’s primary sub-source.

After identifying Danchenko as Steele’s primary sub-source, Auten explained that the FBI sought Danchenko’s cooperation, making him a confidential human source and offering him immunity. Auten further testified about Danchenko’s work with the Crossfire Hurricane team and what Danchenko told them — and didn’t tell them, including Danchenko’s claims, multiple times, that he had received a telephone call from someone he believed to be Millian providing intel about the Trump campaign’s Russia connections. Auten also told the jury that Danchenko had denied talking with Dolan about any of the details contained in the dossier.

Durham further elicited from Auten testimony that the four FISA applications used to obtain a surveillance order to spy on Page included information from the Steele dossier, including details provided by Danchenko that Danchenko had attributed to Millian. And in questioning Auten about the FISA applications and their reliance on the Steele dossier, Durham pounded the point that the FBI had used the Steele dossier to obtain a court order to surveil a United States citizen without corroborating any of the substantive details contained in the supposed intelligence report.

Between Sept. 19, 2016, when the FBI headquarters first received the Steele dossier, and Oct. 21, 2016, when the government submitted the first FISA application, “were you able to confirm or corroborate in any of the FBI system the very serious allegations that were contained in dossier reports,” Durham asked Auten. “No,” Auten replied.

“And what can you tell the jurors about whether or not any of the intelligence agencies that the FBI contacted for corroborative information produced any corroborative information” about the dossier’s allegations? Durham inquired.

“We did receive information back from a number of different agencies,” Auten explained, but nothing that corroborated the specific allegations in the dossier.

The questions continued: “Did Christopher Steele provide any corroborative information for the information that was contained in his reports, in the dossier reports?”

“Not for the allegations, no,” Auten confirmed.

“At any time when you were overseas meeting with Steele in early October, did he provide anything?” Durham pushed.

Auten: “He did not.”

What about “at any time after the October meeting with Mr. Steele and after the million dollars-plus had been offered as an incentive to provide corroborative information for what was in those reports, did he provide any corroborative information?” Durham inquired.

“No,” Auten testified.

And yet, portions of the Steele dossier “played a significant part” in the Carter Page FISA applications. The special counsel reiterated that point regularly during the first few days of the trial while stressing — in question after question — that the FBI had failed to corroborate the allegations.

With Danchenko being the main source for Steele’s dossier, that testimony strengthened the government’s case that Danchenko’s alleged lies materially affected the FBI’s investigation. Simultaneously, the special counsel’s line of questioning served to castigate Auten and the other members of the Crossfire Hurricane team for using uncorroborated material to surveil a United States citizen.

Misleading M16 Info

The FBI’s use of the uncorroborated Steele dossier was not the FBI’s worst offense, however. Worse still was the Crossfire Hurricane team’s last-minute amendment to the FISA application that misleadingly framed Steele’s source network as one established during his time as an MI6 agent, when, in fact, neither Danchenko nor any of Steele’s other dossier sources had been sources during his time with British intelligence.

While Steele would later confirm for the inspector general that his source network did not involve sources from his time with MI6, but “was developed entirely in the period after he retired from government service,” from Auten’s detailed trial testimony, we now know that the Crossfire Hurricane team either knew Steele’s source network was not connected to British intelligence or knew that it could not, in good faith, make that representation to the FISA court.

For two days, Durham elicited testimony from Auten of the FBI’s attempts to ascertain Steele’s source network, including during a trip to Europe in early October, but Steele refused to identify his sources. Auten’s testimony in this regard proves significant when considered together with details previously revealed in the Office of Inspector General’s report on FISA abuse.

In discussing the process the FBI undertook to obtain the first FISA warrant on Page, the OIG explained that the day before the FISA court granted the surveillance order, the government submitted a “read copy” of the FISA application to the FISA court’s legal adviser for a preliminary assessment of any issues. The FISA court’s legal adviser asked the attorney working with the FBI on the application “how it was that Steele had a network of subsources?”

The government lawyer “provided additional information to him regarding Steele’s past employment history,” the OIG report explained; that response implied Steele’s source network came from his time with MI6. Significantly, the FISA court’s legal adviser then indicated the additional detail of Steele’s prior work with British intelligence should be included in the official FISA application to the court.

“That the legal advisor not only raised the question about Steele’s access to a network of sources, but then insisted that the FISA application be updated to include information concerning Steele’s prior government position, shows the FISA court placed great significance on Steele’s previous British intelligence work for purposes of assessing the reliability of his source network.” And with that misleading information added, the next day, Oct. 21, 2016, the FISA court issued the first of four orders authorizing the surveillance of Page’s phone and email accounts.

Given the importance the legal adviser placed on understanding Steele’s source network, it seems unlikely the FISA court would have authorized the surveillance of Page had the FBI either acknowledged that Steele’s source network came from his private work with Orbis or conceded that Steele had refused to reveal his sources. It was this final deception, then, and not merely the FBI’s reliance on the uncorroborated Steele dossier, that led to the illegal surveillance of Page. And, here, those involved in adding the last-minute, credibility-boosting footnote reference to Steele’s MI6 work knew full well that misrepresentation would score the bureau a surveillance warrant, making it an even worse transgression.

Of course, we’ve yet to see the FBI agents responsible for this farce face justice, and as edifying as it is to hear Durham eviscerate the agents involved, that is not enough to ensure this travesty never repeats itself — because it already is.

Know who they are?

"Spelled out in law

The former agent says embezzlement under Title 18, U.S.C. 641 is distinct from other forms of theft in that “the physical taking of the property is often lawful … This can be as simple as using a government-issued vehicle or other device for personal use.”

The statute was used “to great effect and impact, resulting in the indictment, guilty plea and firing of an FBI inspector, and two former FBI directors, one who resigned short of their term, and the other who was fired by President Bill Clinton.”

However, Republican members of Congress say that the Government Accountability Office has permitted previous FBI directors to use government aircraft for personal use as long as they reimburse taxpayers at the commercial rate — which is why they have asked Wray for receipts.

“Hearing logistics are worked out with congressional committees in advance,” the FBI said in a statement. “Director Wray’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on August 4 was consistent with the prearranged format and timing, and was also consistent with the length of the Committee’s 2021 oversight hearing.

“The FBI Director travels by government aircraft due to the FBI’s national security mission, which necessitates specific communications capabilities and security considerations. Director Wray has adhered to the federal regulations governing the use of the aircraft to include reimbursement for personal use. The Bureau’s national security and law enforcement operations, including transporting investigators and critical evidence, has been and remains the first priority for all FBI aircraft.”"

Agent Doug @ Landis VALLEY farm museum and Agent Bull**** @ Troegs brewery we're half decent...

Never Forget they said. Disgraceful.

I guess this is part of those pesky Jan 6th "facts" Lefty cries about.




In an insane segment on MSNBC Sunday, disgraced former FBI official and rabid anti-Trump lunatic Peter Strzok described the September 11 2001 terror attacks, which killed thousands of Americans, as “nothing” compared to Trump supporters entering the Capitol building on January 6th 2021.

After MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace claimed January 6 was “the deadliest attack on the U.S. capital in history,” Strzok agreed and added “I think if you look at the scale in terms of a threat to democracy, 9/11 was a tragedy, we lost thousands of lives in a horrific way. We still mourn to this day. But when you look at something that is an attack on democracy, something that could bring about a fundamental change to American governance, 9/11 is nothing compared to January 6th.”

Strzok, the guy in the FBI who spearheaded a counter-intelligence investigation against Trump based on a the completely discredited Steele dossier continued, “The fact that the FBI and the rest of the government if they are not on the same sort of war footing that we were on in the weeks and months and years after 9/11, shame on everyone.”

“This is a far greater threat to our constitutional democracy than anything we’ve faced in the past 20 or more years,” Strzok further proclaimed, adding “We need to be addressing it the same way [as 9/11].”

“I suspect if they were, if we were, we might hear more about it and I think that’s the sort of thing that gives a lot of observers, those of us who have been in the FBI, a little bit of concern whether the same urgency and approach to the situation, whether that approach is on par with the nature of the threat we’re facing right now,” Strzok whined.

Watch: https://tinyurl.com/yc7c3tx5

While that was the cherry on top, the rest of the segment was off the chart, with more ‘experts’ crowing about the FBI being ‘too soft’ on Trump supporters, compared to law enforcement being heavy handed against BLM rioters.

Strzok was fired from the FBI in 2018 after anti-Trump texts dating from two years previously between him and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair, were discovered.

Prior to Trump’s victory, Strzok told Page that “we won’t allow” Trump to be elected, before going on to be directly involved in the Russia collusion and Hillary Clinton email investigations.

A recent poll conducted by Harvard/Harris found that average Americans don’t consider January 6th to be a pressing issue, with just 7 percent of voters listing it as being on par with matters such as inflation, the economy, crime, and immigration.

Authored by Rita Li via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Former FBI Counterterrorism Division Assistant Director Jill Sanborn is to be interviewed by the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 2 over alleged politicization, including inflating domestic terrorism numbers, House GOP members announced Thursday.

A joint letter released on Oct. 20 by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the committee’s ranking member, and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), accused the ex-FBI official of failing to take “any meaningful steps” to arrange the interview over the past two months following an initial request.

In a letter to Sanborn on Aug. 10, the GOP lawmakers called on the former official to testify regarding whistleblower claims of the bureau pressuring agents to inflate the numbers of “domestic violent extremism” cases, including those didn’t meet the criteria. The pair asked Sanborn to contact the committee and schedule the interview no later than Aug. 24.

“Only late last Friday did your attorneys offer a specific date for a transcribed interview—December 2, 2022—a date six weeks in the future and nearly four months since our initial request,” the lawmakers wrote.

Sanborn served as Counterterrorism Division assistant director at the law enforcement agency and then as executive assistant director at the National Security branch between January 2020 and April 2021, until she left the federal service.

With the Biden administration saying domestic violent extremism is the “greatest threat” facing the country, whistleblowers have sounded the alarm that officials “encouraged and incentivized” FBI agents to reclassify cases to pad domestic terrorism data “even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.”

One whistleblower identified Sanborn as an official who pressured agents to hit self-created performance metrics, said the GOP officials.

According to the latest letter, Sanborn’s attorneys claimed that the FBI’s approval for the former official’s appearance must be in place.

“You should be aware that, here too, we do not share your attorneys’ view. Every federal employee, and former employee, has a right to speak with Congress without interference, intimidation, or obstruction from his or her employing agency,” the Republicans wrote in response. “To the extent that the FBI is or has been preventing your ability to respond to our request in a timely and comprehensive manner, we will be interested in examining these facts during your transcribed interview.”

The two also dismissed a forthcoming letter from the FBI, which Sanborn’s attorneys had claimed would fully respond to the committee’s request and could bypass the need for testimony.

“Our request to you for a transcribed interview is separate and distinct from the requests for documents and information we have made to the FBI and the Justice Department,” said Jordan and Johnson.

An FBI spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well look at what they did with Gretchen and Russia-gate…..
