Steele dossier’s main source was investigated by FBI as ‘threat to national security’

(Worthy News) – U.S. Attorney John Durham discovered that the primary sub-source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited dossier was investigated by the FBI as a possible “threat to national security,” but the bureau never told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and used the dossier anyway.

The revelation was made public Thursday evening by Republican Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who is conducting an investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators. He made public a letter from Attorney General William Barr along with an unclassified FBI overview, created at Barr’s behest, of the FBI’s 2009-2011 counterintelligence investigation into Steele’s main source, U.S.-based Russian lawyer Igor Danchenko, who the bureau suspected of being a Russian agent, according to a newly declassified footnote from DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into ties between President Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. The FBI said that the Crossfire Hurricane team became aware of this information about Steele’s Primary Sub-source in December 2016.

Danchenko was later relied upon by Steele in 2016 in the Democratic-funded dossier used by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Graham said the new information “is the most stunning and damning revelation the committee has uncovered.” Earlier this year, it was also revealed that Danchenko had cast doubt on the reliability and credibility of the former MI6 agent’s Trump-Russia reporting in January 2017, which the bureau concealed from the FISA court and apparently misled the Senate Intelligence Committee about in 2018. The new records show the FBI had even considered pursuing FISA surveillance against Steele’s source years prior. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
