People should be going to jail for this. Democrats are the real threat to our democracy.
For nearly a year, dossier creator Christopher Steele entertained eager FBI agents with tales of a super-source who had all sorts of dirt on President Trump.
In debriefs in Rome in October 2016, as Mr. Trump ran for president, and in London in September 2017, when Mr. Trump was president, Mr. Steele told the FBI that a mysterious businessman fed information to the dossier’s primary source, Russian Igor Danchenko.
The dossier’s major allegation that there was a deep election conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin: It came from the businessman. It inspired the FBI to disrupt the Trump White House to uncover the plot.
This month, the FBI shipped seven electronic “binders” containing 700 pages of Crossfire Hurricane documents to the House Judiciary Committee under an order signed by the probe’s biggest victim, Mr. Trump. The tranches include the FBI notes from those Steele chats, and the name, unmasked, of Mr. Steele’s supposed prized informant: Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born businessman.
Thanks to special counsel John Durham, we know today that Mr. Millian was never a dossier source. Mr. Durham’s probe determined that Mr. Danchenko, while touting Mr. Millian to Mr. Steele and later the FBI, had never met him, much less spoken.
“The evidence uncovered by the Office showed that Danchenko never spoke with Sergei Millian and simply fabricated the allegations that he attributed to Millian,” the Durham Report said.
The FBI could have discovered this by demanding proof from Mr. Danchenko, but it never did. It was having too much fun bringing down Mr. Trump.
Mr. Millian’s name became known publicly, but by unmasking his name in official FBI reports, you get a better idea of how farcical Crossfire Hurricane was.
