10/12/2020 / By JD Heyes The garbage media in America either love or hate federal authorities, depending on whose political ox is being gored, as evidenced by the fact that most outlets are ignoring legitimate bombshell information that has been seeping out of the Trump administration now for weeks.
In late September, for instance, the Trump administration declassified documents indicating beyond any reasonable doubt that the Obama regime went to great lengths to set up his successor, President Donald Trump, in a scandal No. 44 and his co-conspirators no doubt hoped would drive the GOP outsider from office.
“Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham … released newly declassified FBI documents that contain this stunner: The bureau relied on a suspected Russian agent for the information it used to obtain a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board noted in a Sept. 25 report.
“Four years into accusations about Russia-Trump collusion, we finally learn that Russia’s main conduit for disinformation may have been America’s FBI. Vladimir Putin must be howling with laughter,” the board continued.
And how.
Flashback to last year, when Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed in his lengthy report that former British spy Christopher Steele, he of the infamous (and widely debunked ‘Russia dossier’), relied on a single “sub-source” for the salacious, and uncorroborated, claims he made against President Trump and the Trump campaign in general.
“This subsource was later identified as Ukrainian-born Igor Danchenko, who worked as a research analyst from 2005 to 2010 at the Brookings Institution in Washington,” the editorial board noted.
The disclosures by Graham revealed that Danchenko himself was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence probe, circa 2009-2011, over concerns that he was really a Russian agent and therefore “a threat to national security.”
The documents Graham released, which had been declassified by the Trump administration, indicated that Danchenko “attempted to recruit two individuals connected to ‘an influential foreign policy advisor in the Obama administration.’ He said that if they ‘did get a job in the government and had access to classified information,’ he had a way for them ‘to make a little extra money,’” the board wrote, quoting the documents.
The FBI found additional information linking Danchenko to a pair of additional “FBI counterintelligence subjects,” the documents said. In addition, he was in contact with the Russian embassy “and known Russian intelligence officers.” The FBI even went as far as applying for a FISA court warrant to put Danchenko under surveillance.
Ultimately, the investigation was shelved because Danchenko left the U.S. in September 2010.
