More from Just the News.

The revelation appears to show the FBI, according to the testimony from intelligence analyst Brian Auten, had insufficient solid evidence for the FISA warrant for Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in its investigation and used uncorroborated information to move forward with the probe.

Auten said that Steele never got the money because he wasn’t able to prove the allegations.

And libs want us to believe FBI aren’t corrupt?

So my question is…did they wanted Steele to lie for million dollars?

Pretty obvious they knew Steele’s motivation.

And they went with it anyway because of left-wing authoritative politics.

CNN didn’t even consider the FBI offering a bounty to prove the guilt of an ex President to be worth a place on their front page of the webpage. To CNN followers, this never happened. However, they do know why Kim Kardashean was seen with a bandage on her face.

This is a very bizarre legal argument imo.

Danchenko is not being charged with lying to Steele or being charged with his part in the creation of the dossier. Lying to Steele or passing along stories to Steele is not a crime.

Durham looks like he is trying to tie that the creation of the Steele dossier was illegal… it wasn’t.

It is also not Danchenko’s fault that it ended up at the FBI.

Wow…talk about totally missing the boat.

The offering the $1,000,000 in 2021 establishes the materiality of Danshenko’s lies. Some people here have said that believing the dossiers truth only affected some fisa warrants. This shows the obsession of the FBI with the dossier even into 2021. There was still a belief in the FBI that the dossier was real. The lies of Danshenko helped shore up the FBI’s belief in the fake dossier. And that tied up money and Human Resources. It also kept Danshenko on the FBI payroll

How? The first charge of lying that is on Danchenko dates to months after the election. In March 2017 if I am remembering correctly.

This is about what he is actually charged with.

If he made up stuff and passed it on to Steele… that isn’t a crime.

It isn’t his fault that the FBI got the Steele dossier.

There is no boat.

Durham seems to be arguing stuff that has nothing to do with the charges that he brought.

This is about FISA warrants. My God man…

The FISA warrant on Carter Page was acquired months before the date of when Durham charged Danchenko of lying.

The only thing that the lie could have affected was the third renewal but one could argue that Clinesmith’s actions were way more material to that action than anything Danchenko did.

To argue that one can pass along fake information to a private investigator and that information ends up in law enforcement’s hands and they act on it months before even talking to the person who passed along fake info to a private entity that that person broke the law by misleading law enforcement.

The case that Durham is making is a big stretch.

Again…you missed the boat. :rofl:

I am talking about what Durham has charged Danchenko with.

The actions that the FBI took with the information that he gave to Steele before they talked to Danchenko is not his fault.

Danchenko is not being charged with making up stuff to put in the dossier… becuase that is not a crime.

473

Because his lies about the sources for the dossier gave credibility to the dossier. If he revealed his sources, and they traced back to coming from newspapers, would the FBI be offering $1M for proof of those sources in 2021? Of course they would not.
This has to do with the materiality of the lies. Not the lies in the dossier itself but the lies that made the FBI think there were legitimate sources for those lies.
Now I will have to say that is my opinion of the relevance. I have not found a report on the judges ruling to allow this in as evidence.

Danchenko is not being charged with lying to Steele. Durham is claiming that Danchenko lying about talking to Millian and lying about not talking to Dolan may have changed how the FBI handled the information.

The problem is that the earliest date the Durham has Danchenko lying to the FBI is in March 2017… long after the election… and this is the lie about Millian… who is not testifying.

The one charge that Durham may get Danchenko on… charge one… is an incident that happened in June 2017. You can’t lay the blame on Danchenko the actions taken by the FBI based on the Steele dossier before this alleged lie took place.

Danchenko lying to Steele is not a crime and Danchenko did not take the dossier to the FBI and try to pass it off as real. As far as the $1 million dollar thing… that happened in Oct 2016… so a lie that was told in March 2017 would not have affected that action.

We can’t act like the creation of the Steele dossier was an illegal act… it wasn’t.

475

You are caught up on believing the only materiality relates to FISA and the election.

The “confusion” is intentional.
