This item is for anyone who is in denial that Joe Biden and his entire administration and specifically his DOJ and FBI are corrupt to their very core.The entire Democrat party's current and past leadership is culpable. Think about this. The FBI offerred up to a $1 million reward for anyone who could prove Donald Trump's guilt of something, anything. Since neither a Special Prosecutor and his team's two year investigation could not find any evidence and nor could the FBI on its own they tried to entice others to give it to them. That is called targeting against political enemies by left-wing criminals who happen to be wrongly in charge of our government. They are that evil. Yet they claim to be the good guys. But they routinely display absolutely disgusting anti-American criminal behavior. Unfortunaly, it is now routine behavior conducted against innocent American citizens who they consider to be their enemies.
That dossier by British spy Christopher Steele — commissioned by Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign — included allegations of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials, as well as allegations that the Russians may have held compromising information over Trump in the form of videos showing him engaged in salacious sexual activity in a Moscow hotel. Specifically, prosecutors say, Danchenko lied when he said he obtained some information in an anonymous phone call from a man he believed to be Sergei Millian, a former head of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
Prosecutor Michael Keilty told jurors in U.S. District Court in Alexandria that Danchenko never spoke with Millian and that phone records show he never received an anonymous phone call at the time Danchenko claimed it occurred. Prosecutors also say Danchenko lied when he said he never "talked" with a man named Charles Dolan about the allegations contained in the dossier. But prosecutors say there is evidence that Danchenko "spoke with Mr. Dolan over email" about very specific items that showed up in the dossier.
The FBI needed to know that Dolan was an important source for Danchenko, Keilty said, because Dolan is a Democratic operative who has worked on the presidential campaign of every Democratic candidate since Jimmy Carter, and thus would have had motivation to fabricate or embellish allegations against Trump. "Those lies mattered," Keilty said. But Danchenko's attorney, Danny Onorato, told jurors that his client was completely truthful with the FBI.
He pointed out that Danchenko never said he was certain that Millian was the source of the anonymous call but that he had good reason to believe it. The government's case requires jurors to become "mind readers" to assess Danchenko's subjective belief about the source of the phone call, Onorato said. And while phone records may not show a call, Onorato said, the government has no idea whether a call could have been placed with a mobile app rather than a traditional telephone provider. Indeed, Onorato said, it makes more sense that such a call would have occurred using an Internet app because so many of them conceal the source of the call, and the caller wanted to be anonymous.
As for the allegations about his discussions with Dolan, Onorato said, Danchenko answered the question truthfully because the two did not "talk" — but rather had a written exchange. If the FBI wanted to know about email exchanges, it should have asked a different question, Onorato said. "The law doesn't let you rewrite the dictionary," Onorato said.
Keilty, in his opening, acknowledged to jurors that evidence would show the FBI made errors in conducting its investigations, but he said that shouldn't exonerate Danchenko. "A bank robber doesn't get a pass just because the security guard was asleep," Keilty said.
The first prosecution witness was FBI analyst Brian Auten, who testified that information from the Steele dossier was used to support a surveillance warrant against a Trump campaign official, Carter Page.
Under questioning from Durham, Auten testified that the dossier was used to bolster the surveillance application even though the FBI couldn't corroborate its allegations.
Auten said the FBI checked with other government agencies to see if they had corroboration but nothing came back. Auten and other FBI agents even met with Steele in the United Kingdom in 2016 and offered him as much as $1 million if he could supply corroboration for the allegations in the dossier, but none was provided.
Danchenko is the third person to be prosecuted by special counsel John Durham, who was appointed to investigate the origins of "Crossfire Hurricane" — the designation given to the FBI's 2016 probe into former president Trump's Russia connections. It is also the first of Durham's cases that delves deeply into the origins of the dossier, which Trump derided as fake news and a political witch hunt."

Consider this statement by a real economist with those out of the mouth of our economic idiot President who falsely claims our economy is doing just fine.
Quote: "IMF Chief Economist: 'The Worst Is Yet to Come'. The International Monetary Fund is downgrading its outlook for the world economy for 2023, citing a long list of threats that include Russia’s war against Ukraine, chronic inflation pressures, punishing interest rates and the lingering consequences of the global pandemic.
The 190-country lending agency forecast Tuesday that the global economy would eke out growth of just 2.7% next year, down from the 2.9% it had estimated in July. The IMF left unchanged its forecast for international growth this year — a modest 3.2%, a sharp deceleration from last year’s 6% expansion.
“The worst is yet to come,'' said IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas. Three major economies — the United States, China and Europe — are stalling. Countries accounting for a third of global economic output will contract next year, suggesting that 2023 “will feel like a recession'' to many people around the world, he said Tuesday.
In its latest estimates, the IMF slashed its outlook for growth in the United States to 1.6% this year, down from a July forecast of 2.3%. It expects meager 1% U.S. growth next year. The fund foresees China’s economy growing just 3.2% this year, down drastically from 8.1% last year. Beijing has instituted draconian zero-COVID policy and has cracked down on excessive real estate lending, disrupting business activity. China’s growth is forecast to accelerate to 4.4% next year, still tepid by Chinese standards.
In the IMF's view, the collective economy of the 19 European countries that share the euro currency, reeling from crushingly high energy prices caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine and Western sanctions against Moscow, will grow just 0.5% in 2023.
The world economy has endured a wild ride since COVID-19 hit in early 2020. First, the pandemic and the lockdowns it generated brought the world economy to a standstill in the spring of 2020. Then, vast infusions of government spending and ultra-low borrowing rates engineered by the Federal Reserve and other central banks fueled an unexpectedly strong and speedy recovery from the pandemic recession.
But the stimulus came at a high cost. Factories, ports and freight yards were overwhelmed by powerful consumer demand for manufactured goods, especially in the United States, resulting in delays, shortages and higher prices. (The IMF expects worldwide consumer prices to rise 8.8% this year, up from 4.7% in 2021.)
In response, the Fed and other central banks have reversed course and begun raising rates dramatically, risking a sharp slowdown and potentially a recession. The Fed has raised its benchmark short-term rate five times this year. Higher rates in the United States have lured investment away from other countries and strengthened the value of the dollar against other currencies.
Outside the United States, the higher dollar makes imports that are sold in the American currency, including oil, more expensive and therefore heightens global inflationary pressures. It also forces foreign countries to raise their own rates — and burden their economies with higher borrowing costs — to defend their currencies.
Maurice Obstfeld, a former IMF chief economist who now teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, has warned that an overly aggressive Fed could “drive the world economy into an unnecessarily harsh contraction.’’ IMF Chief Economist: 'The Worst Is Yet to Come' | Newsmax.com
There are many to blame for this whole global economic mess. Chief among them include the Wuhan Chinese Lab who developed and released the Covid-19 virus, the CDC's Dr. Anthony Fauci who helped funded with US taxpayer dollars the development of the Covid-19 virus and subsequently engineered the draconian mandates that led to the destruction of the American economy, The WHO who followed Fauci's lead globally, unfortunately Donald Trump who spearheaded the rapid development of vaccines that were not tested properly and are filled with an array of suspect ingrediances, the FDA who approved vaccines that were touted as safe and effective BUT, were not, the Pharmaceutical companies who produced the products and certified them to the FDA as safe and effective which they knew was not true, the Joe Biden administration who "forced" the unsafe and ineffective vaccines on innocent citizens, including children and is still at it, and finally both the mainstream and social media outlets who purposely censored/discredited/rediculed any contrary information that did not conform to government mandates/demands.
The medical community is largely a victim of the oppressive government health care regime. Hospitals were bribed to cite deaths by Covid even when not the ultimate cause in order to keep the death numbers up. The entire medical establishment were expected to follow the government line or else. Those who objected were subject to censorship, punishment or worse dismal from their positions. So were those who refused to get the vaccine. Lastly, the utimate victims are those who submitted to the vaccine and have suffered the ultimate fate of death, life changing health problems and the rest of the vaccinated victims many if not all who will suffer untold health problems from a vaccine that has never been tested for long term harmful health effects. The whole engineered Covid-19 charade is a massive violation of human rights, the Nuremburg Code and the Hippocatic Oath. Punishment is due to the people responsible for this tragedy.
