On this subject, Fox News reported:
Auten was the first witness in the trial of Danchenko, the Russian national who served as the primary sub-source for ex-British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier and has been charged with five counts of making false statements to the bureau.
When pressed on whether the FBI had any way to corroborate the salacious allegations against Trump and his campaign associates included in the dossier, Auten repeatedly said no.
Durham hammered Auten, questioning why he took information from the dossier, without corroboration, and included it in the FISA warrant for Page.
"As an analyst, I’m not writing the application,"Auten testified.
But Durham continued to press him, saying: "You and your colleagues took the information…and put it in the Carter Page FISA application."
"You didn’t have corroboration from FBI databases, from other intelligence community agencies, or from Christopher Steele and it still went into a FISA application?" Durham asked.
"Correct," Auten testified.
The back-and-forth came after Auten’s testimony on Tuesday, when he revealed that he and a group of FBI agents went overseas in early October 2021 to speak with Steele about the dossier.
Auten said that during an overseas meeting, the FBI offered Steele $1 million if he could corroborate allegations in the dossier. Auten testified that Steele could not do so.
This should show you EXACTLY what the DEEP STATE is capable of, especially when they work in cahoots with the crony Fake News Media!
And this is exactly what I am fighting against at Fight with Kash.
As someone experienced in fighting against and exposing the Deep State, I believe strongly in our mission of funding lawsuits against government corruption and the Deep State, the Fake News Media, and on behalf of victims of the January 6th witch hunt! And I need your help!
