Let me remind everybody why the FBI resorted to the Steele Dossier so late in the game, as a last resort.
Why they waited until OCTOBER OF 2016 to suddenly frantically begin throwing together a case for using the dossier for the FISA warrant they wanted on the Trump presidential campaign.
BECAUSE STEFAN HALPER LET THEM DOWN.
You all remember Stefan Halper, right?
He's the undercover FBI informant who spent all of the summer of 2016 futilely trying to get both George Papadapoulos and/or Carter Page to say something incriminating on tape while he was secretly recording them.
For several MONTHS the Crossfire Hurricane team waited for Halper's surreptitious recording of Page and Papadopoulos to hit pay dirt.
But Halper, despite all the leading questions he asked the two unsuspecting former Trump advisors, could not get them to say something that the FBI could use as a basis for opening the investigation they wanted to open on Trump.

Another key admission Durham got from Brian Auten.
He got Auten to admit that the preliminary investigation into Downer's tip to the FBI turned up no evidence whatsoever to support it.
But hey...when you open up a full investigation, why, you get new investigative tools at your disposal that aren't allowed in preliminary investigations!
So when the preliminary investigation came dry, the FBI decided to launch a full investigation to unleash all their amazing investigative tools into trying to find any evidence to support Downer's tip!
And 6 years later, what do we know?
They never found SHIT to corroborate any of this stuff, and even got so desperate they were waving money under the noses of Steele and Danchenko to corroborate it for them because they were so hot to investigate Trump.

Notice how Auten never discusses that part of the FBI's investigation into Carter Page and George Papadopoulos prior to September 19, 2016, the date they officially received the Steele Dossier, involved sending an undercover informant to surreptitiously tape Page & Papodopoulos without their consent or knowledge.
An informant setting up several meetings with both men to secretly tape them while asking them leading questions failed to 'secure' enough 'evidence' for a FISA warrant.
This is why the FBI then decided to use the Steele Dossier instead.
As I've been saying for going on 3 years now, the Steele Dossier was "Plan B" after Plan A failed.

Durham establishes on the record that the FBI failed to corroborate any of the Steele Dossier allegations before they used them in the FISA warrant targeting Carter Page for surveillance - and by extension, the entire Donald Trump presidential campaign.
Yet when the Supervisory Agent acting as the affiant signs off on the warrant application, they are making a legal sworn statement to the court that the evidence in the warrant is true and they have verified it to the best of their ability.
Durham got Auten to admit that it wasn't Danchenko who lied to the FISA Court.
IT WAS THE FBI

But surely the FBI received corroborating evidence for the Steele Dossier/Danchenko allegations from somewhere before they filed that warrant with the FISA Court, right?
I mean, they wouldn't just submit a warrant full of allegations they hadn't be able to verify, right? Right?
WRONG.
Even when the FBI trawled the intelligence agencies looking for anything to back up Steele & Danchenko's allegations, they found nothing.
And notice how Auten tries again to mumble a non-answer before Durham forces him to explicitly say it to the jury.

That's twice now that Auten has tried to provide a non-answer to a direct question from Durham.
First, when Durham asked Auten if the FBI had corroborated any of the Steele dossier allegations before submitting the FISA warrant to the Court, Auten mumbled that he and the other Crossfire Hurricane team members "looked through FBI systems to determine whether or not we could verify, corroborate, confirm, or disconfirm the information in those reports.”
THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER. So Durham pinned him down and forced Auten to say it in front of the jury:
Durham: "And between September 19th of 2016 and October 21st, when the FBI submitted the FISA application, were you able to confirm or corroborate in any of the FBI system the very serious allegations that were contained in the dossier reports?"
Auten: "No."
Then when Durham directly asked Auten if any of the intel agencies has provided any corroboration for Steele & Dancheko's dossier allegations that the Crossfire Hurricane team had placed in the Page FISA warrant application, Auten again tries to mumble a non-answer:
Durham: "And what can you tell the jurors about whether or not any of the intelligence agencies that the FBI contacted for corroborative information produced any corroborative information?"
Auten: "We did receive information back from a number of different agencies."
Durham: "Then, as to the information that you received back from the agencies, did they corroborate the specificity of specific allegations that were contained in the dossier reports?"
Auten: "Not corroborating the specific allegations, no."
You're not going to slip an non-answer to the jury with Durham doing the questioning.
As FBI Special Agent Brian Auten found out the hard way.

One of the high points of my year was meeting Danny Whitacre, who ran for Kenton County (KY) Clerk for the purpose of fixing election issues.
82nd Airborne vet, believer, and all around great guy. Asked me if I was serious about helping veterans and I said, “damn right.”
This led to our May 11 fundraiser for his campaign. He didn’t win (supposedly), and sent me this letter dated the day of the primary.
Shockingly, we lost Danny the next month.
Always give your best every day.

For 5 years now this elaborate and deceptive dance has been allowed to go on - with mainstream media help - as the FBI and Steele pass the buck back and forth between themselves over who was supposed to verify the allegations in his dossier.
Steele scoffs when asked that his dossier was just 'raw intelligence' he collected and hey, it's not his job to verify raw intelligence, don't cha' know?
So of course from the very beginning when the FBI asked him for any evidence to back up his dossier reports, Steele didn't have anything to offer them.
But Durham is about to reveal in court what an absolute farce this stupid dance always was on both sides.

How much of a farce was the FBI's attempts to verify the dossier allegations before they used them in a FISA warrant?
They offered Steele up to $1 million dollars to do their job for them.
And Steele most certainly did not do the FBI's job for them, as Durham forces Auten to admit to the jury.
And then, of course, having not verified a damn thing, the FBI went ahead and put the dossier allegations in the FISA warrant and submitted to the court ANYWAY.

Tell me again how Durham is covering up for the FBI's use of completely unverified allegations in the Carter Page FISA warrant?
By constantly getting the FBI agent on the stand to affirm that nobody verified any of this before it was used to spy on Trump and his campaign?
Who lied to who? Danchenko lied to the FBI, but he wasn't the one who put the damn allegations in the warrant.
The FBI deliberately and with it's eyes wide open, perpetrated a criminal fraud on the FISA Court.
Am I being clear here?
