Yes- it is now impossible for them to claim to have actually believed Danchenko in 2017. I think this is largely why the Mueller Report ignored the Steele Dossier nearly completely- to have mentioned it all would have required them to either admit it was all bullshit, or to have continued the lie itself.

Lying Maddow has now been richly awarded -- with a $30 million / year contract -- from the infinite DNC-CIA money coffers. Russia-gate hoax is certainly a scam of the century but for all equally repulsive Trump propagandists remember:

-- The insane evangelist Tom Cotton urges a nuclear war against Russia

-- The incredible crimes against Syria are BIPARTISAN crimes... The US administrations are sadistic regimes - irrespective if under Bushes,

Bushes, Clintons. Obama, Trump, or Biden -- that thrive on the misery of nations. Syria, for example, was once a self-sufficient country -- before America decided (remember 17 years ago !!) that secular socialist Syria needs “democracy and freedom”.

CIA aligned itself “patriotically” with Al Qaeda for regime change -- Israel has, for years, been weekly bombing Syria -- without hardly being even mentioned in the US corporate media..... But – there is a “genocide”, this time CIA fabrication is in China – playing all of us like a violin

Certainly -- F*** Joe Biden !! (why to mask the ruling elite with Brandon)

- Julian Assange shouldn’t be released from the dank chambers of Belmarsh Prison because the CIA contemplated assassinating him. He shouldn’t be released because a key witness against him admitted to fabricating his deposition.

-- He should be released because he didn’t commit the crime for which he is charged and a country that treats journalism as a crime against the state shouldn’t have legal standing to bring extradition requests in the courts of nations that consider themselves democracies.

In summary and once again – F*** Joe Biden !! And the entire "Brandon" administration

America decided? Care to be more specific? I’m still looking for this America, Israel’s eternal scapegoat, and I have yet to find it. America, where are you? Is there a phone number or address where I can reach this entity?

As for the FISA warrants, they never thought they would become public.

This is a perfect example of why so many things are classified for eternity, to prevent the public seeing the Mafia operation run under the banner of public service with our tax dollars.

Great article! I can only hope that Durham flushes all the rats into the open. It would be interesting to see if the FBI agents are still working and what other cases they have worked on in the past.

They were probably operatives and inciters in the Whitmer kidnapping plot and/or the Jan. 6 bullshit.

"With this in mind, the Court demands honesty from the government."

Bullshit, the FISA court does not demand shit from the government they are a rubber stamp for violating citizens rights all the way up to the President if he is of the wrong party this article proves that. How? Because the FISA court has not held anyone accountable for this in any way and anyone who believes the FBI and DOJ are going to hold themselves accountable is very naive or stupid. It is long past time the FBI is abolished and also the FISA court and the DOJ rats nest is cleaned out, of course that is not going to happen with the current corrupt administration since they see the DOJ and FBI as there party gestapo or stasi.

Spooks gonna spook. Disgusting.

And -- a bit more on St. Obama and his CIA, FBI and NSA executives: Barack Obama was/is a spook (i.e., CIA operative/spy ), from a spook family, and his political campaigns were financed by spooks… ).

Snowden disclosed the all-encompassing surveillance of US population under St. Obama after Clapper directly lied about it in Senate and to all of us.

In 1965 CIA organized a coup against Indonesia founding president Sukarno by CIA-trained generals. The US considered Sukarno too progressive (he implemented land-reform – same reason for CIA coup in Guatemala which resulted with a genocide of high-land Mayas). CIA installed one of the most murderous military regime (under Suharto dictatorship) on Earth which killed more than two millions ( 2M ) civilians – the massacres are known as “The Jakarta Method” (see book by Vincent Bevins) used subsequently in Africa (Angola, Mozambique) and throughout Latin and Central America.

What is important here is that Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, worked for U.S. government agencies and allied NGOs—the Ford Foundation, Asia Foundation, Development Alternatives Inc., and United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—in Indonesia in the 1960s and 1970s as well as later in Ghana, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Thailand.

Obama’s mother married Indonesian Lt. Col. Lolo Soetoro; they had a daughter Maya Soetoro when Barack Obama was four. The colonel was from an aristocratic family which lost out in Sukarno’s land reform; the marriage was likely arranged, Obama’s mother may have acted as a female “honeypot” for the CIA whose job was to recruit assets

Obama always lied and claimed that his mother did not know about the countless atrocities that were committed by the Suharto government, which is implausible given her CIA background and the fact that they were much reported on by mainstream newspapers at the time (although mostly favorably by right-wing media). Of significance, Obama underplayed his stepfather Lolo’s army rank in his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope.

Soetoro went on to become an executive at Mobil Oil and its liaison to Suharto, whose policies Obama’s mother praised. And – Obama became a labor and community “organizer” – while he actually worked for a large corporate foundation.

I still wonder how he got his Connecticut Social Security number. Still a mystery that Pravda has no intention of seeking the truth about...

Thanks for more detail. One day, maybe, there will be a courtroom.

Team Clinton, those working inside the DOJ/Bureau, to elect Clinton in 2016, knew they'd need a mechanism to back date their illegal 702 spying of the Trump campaign, which resulted in the dossier and down that waterfall of lies is the path meant to starve oxygen and sunlight from the more significant underlying Constitutional issue (4A) exposed by Admiral Rogers and confirmed by former FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer on her April 2017 report - the political weaponization of the NSA database by Obama to conduct warrantless surveillance.

In 2012 the CIA and FBI entered into a secret, illegally withheld from the FISC, Congress and public, memorandum of understanding which allowed CIA contractors to exploit FBI access to the NSA database and those contractors were searching U.S. persons and extracting the results. - Page 87 of FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer’s April 26 2017 Report.

That there even needs to be an "investigation" to "get to the bottom of it" is pathetic. The Steele Dossier always read like good old fashioned, FUN conspiracy theory. The very premise was absurd. A secret tape of prostitutes urinating on Obama's hotel room sheets? "Kompromat" like that might've hurt a square like Romney. But Trump??? CAMPAIGN GOLD. lmaoooo Just one of many ways to know it was fake from day 1.

The rest was typical conspiracy theory, taking mundane things and recharacterizing them as nefarious. International businessman = "ties to Russia." Multilingual political consultant who trained translators in ***SOVIET*** Russia = "ties to Russian intelligence" (truncated by the media to just Russian Intelligence). Trying to get foreign-sourced dirt on Hillary = "collusion" and "election interference." Hillary staffer doing the same thing = "protecting our democracy from foreign interference." BAHAHAHAHAHA! You gotta admire it a bit.

The correct and only proper response would've been for Trump to laugh it off and do what he had to do to dump Mueller and the whole thing. Say what you will about Obama, but do you think HE would've tolerated his own DOJ undermining his presidency over a handful of Russians trolling around on Facebook?? lol Ultimately, I CONGRATULATE democrats on successfully wielding their power and influence to subdue their political opposition. Blame Trump for being a whiny doormat. All tweet, no bite.

Trump is/was a terrible judge of character. He likely was well aware of shady business practices but I can imagine he thought the FBI was an honest organization and he feared them. His own issue with Bannon removed the guy who could have set him straight. Who knows why he was advised to allow Mueller to continue?
