CORRECTION: My bad. I originally said PAID when I should have said OFFERED. It really doesn’t matter. Someone well above Auten’s pay grade had to approve that. The money was supposed to induce Steele to verify the BS that was the “dossier”. Steele never did provide verification, for the simple reason that there was none. Nevertheless, the “dossier” continued to be used as the predication for the fraudulent FISAs—Andy McCabe said so in so many words. It was also, and very importantly, the predication for Crossfire Hurricane and was, therefore, the basis for the Mueller Witchhunt. It was all a giant fraud. The real question is: Why isn’t Durham prosecuting people in the FBI?
Buck stops with Trump - he failed with Sessions, had a second chance and blew it with Barr. I know Mitch stonewalled him but he never called him out on it, even campaigned for Mitch's re-election.
As far as I am concerned, this particular factoid, combined with Warp speed, should make Trump, for all of his qualities, ineligible as a candidate for '24.
I don't care that Ron Desantis maybe a RINO, at least he is competent.
My expectations for Durham are more bombshells will come out in the last trial. I hope Durham uses the trial to expose all the stuff that has been hinted at (congressionbsl gang of 8, us and foreign Intel agency involvement, etc).
I expect zero convictions, unfortunately. Barr has done an incredible job of protecting government employees.
Did anyone else find it odd that the Steele Dossier name checked Lyndon Larouche, the most prolific, crazy, and let’s face it entertaining conspiracy theorist of the post-war English speaking world? One of the Twitter sleuths that uncovered Danchenko’s identity helped shed light onto that question.
While at Brookings, Danchenko acted as a research assistant for Fiona Hill and Cliff Gaddy, co-authors of the book, “Operative of the Kremlin,” about Vlad Putin. Gaddy was also apparently Danchenko’s Ph.D advisor. According to a 2018 book by BBC journalist Matthew Sweet, “Operation Chaos,” Cliff Gaddy was a military intelligence officer working for the Army component of the NSA in 1968 when he, depending on which theory you believe, deserted his post to join radical anti-war deserters in Stockholm, or was recruited by the CIA program MHCHAOS to infiltrate overseas radical deserters groups.
Regardless of which was true, by 1974 when the war was over, Gaddy joined the European wing of LaRouche’s Labor Committees, taking leadership of the Stockholm branch until he left Sweden in 1986. At the same time, he spent the 1980’s traveling Europe peddling a LaRouche book about the Soviet plan for impending WWIII by 1988, which would be fueled by the obvious cover of perestroika for a massive rearmament program and the development of wonder weapons which could only be described as “some sort of death Ray.”
Now read some back issues of LaRouche’s Executive Intelligence Review. Specifically the Elephants and Donkeys columns for 24 July and 18 September 1987. They both claim that Donald Trumps trip to the Soviet Union was to obtain the KGB’s blessing for a presidential run to succeed Ronald Reagan in 1988, and that the KGB was grooming Trump. Compare these claims to the claims found in the Steele Dossier regarding the Russians nurturing a relationship with Trump for over 5 years.
Danchenko literally took old conspiracy theories from the publication of his Ph.D advisor cum supervisor at Brookings and cut and pasted dates to update them from 1987 to 2016, and voila, Steele Dossier.
In fairness, Durham was probably told exactly how high up the tree that he was allowed to pick apples. Arkancide is real, ubiquitous and follows no rules.
We don't know that Durham is NOT going after those in the FBI responsible for this scandal; we only know there's no public indication he is doing so. If he's working on a conspiracy case, the SOL has a ways to go before it runs out, is it does start until the LAST overt act in support occurred.
I'm still hopeful, in part based on him asking this question on the opening day of the Danchenko trial. The fact he has over 30 witnesses lined up for this trial also suggests more revelations will be forthcoming during the trial.
I'd bet, despite not asking the question, that Durham knows the answer to who authorized the Million dollar offer to Steele. (I assume he can't ask that at trial because it isn't relevant to establishing the materiality of Danchenko's lies.)

makes a great point:
If FBI offered $million to Steele to corroborate, how much did Steele offer Danchenko to corroborate?
Ergo, Steele knew the crap in his memos to FGPS were so much Hillary Campaign Fantasy Smear codswallop, and his motive was to do as much damage to the Trump Campaign/Presidency as possible. It wasn't about cash.
I had high hopes for Durham, but I had high hopes for Bill Barr, too. I’m so sick and disgusted with all of the posturing, pretending and prevaricating from people in Washington who are supposed to be the “real deal”. They are all as phony as a three dollar bill and as useless as tits on a boar hog.

Good news is this came out.
And it’s due to Durham:

And Sundance said so from the beginning, that Durham and Barr would never prosecute the guilty members of the FBI, DOJ, Clinton campaign, CIA, etc.
We'll get that name right after we get Maxwell's client list. Smoke and mirrors.

Not surprised by Durham. I realized a long time ago that the reason for most investigations in DC is to find evidence and bury it.

Sorry, pretty bummed today.
When I read this first on RedState, I was saying names. We want names. Another arrow in Trump's quiver to neuter this manifestly corrupt agency.
I may have got one detail wrong. It seems Steele was OFFERED that money, but was unable to collect? Doesn't matter.
