.GreggJarrett: Danchenko trial helps Durham expose how corrupt FBI framed Trump
Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the Durham probe and the politicization of the FBI.Donald Trump that it secretly dangled an exorbitant reward of $1 million to disgraced ex-British spy Christopher Steele if he would corroborate his dossier that the bureau already knew was phony. It was the equivalent of a bounty on the head of Trump — an outrageous financial incentive to a notorious fabulist to spin even more lies.
Steele, who was already on the FBI payroll to target Trump, was double-dipping. He was also being paid by the and his cronies were frantic to falsely incriminate Trump as a supposed Russian asset or, at the very least, convict him in the court of public opinion. They exploited the fictive dossier in an attempt to frame the Republican candidate and eventual president for unidentified crimes he did not commit. Of course, Steele never collected his $1 million bonus because he could not possibly prove the truth of his smears.
In other words, the FBI paid the guy who exposed the lies in the dossier — and allegedly lied in the process — to conjure up more of the same. But there appears to have been a secondary benefit to paying off Danchenko. He kept mum to the public and press that the dossier was bogus. It’s hard to believe that the FBI would hire a man they previously investigated as a national security and counterintelligence threat, but that’s how it goes at the Hoover Building these days.
