Report but it’s been interesting we’ve been all over the all over the place Fidelity bravery and integrity these are the words that have guided the FBI through countless Generations dishonesty deception and Corruption I’m sad to say the stark contrast an unfortunate reality we now find ourselves in a reality that has revealed
A politicized weaponized and corrupted Federal Bureau of Investigation in desperate need in my opinion for complete restructuring one of the most egregious examples of dishonesty that the Durham report reveals relates to a critical piece on page 16 that summarizes a deeply troubling chain of events Igor dechenko who was instrumental in
The formation of the steel dossier claimed that one of his sub sources was Sergey Milian a Belarusian American businessman and publicly known to be a trump supporter the report goes on to highlight that danchenko claimed to have received an anonymous phone call from an individual he later claimed to be million Milian
On page 173 it has stated this call supposedly revealed quote a well-developed conspiracy of cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russian leadership end quote it’s the kicker here the kicker is danchenko had never met nor spoken with Milian prior to this call and told the crossfire hurricane team that despite never actually meeting
Million million he recognized his voice from a YouTube video this blatant lie was taken at face value by both Christopher Steele and the FBI’s Crossfire hurricane investigation think about that everybody think about that the anchenko was a foreign agent who the FBI was paying by the way we
Haven’t talked about that much hundreds of thousands of your taxpayer dollars tells a blatant lie which leads to four fisa applications and lays the foundation for the Trump Russia collusion hoax and that’s what it was may not like it but that’s what it was one of the greatest disgraces this
Country in my opinion has ever seen Americans are literally paying the price for this corruption such an egregious and intentional abandonment of the common procedures that FBI agents are supposed to follow truly encapsulates why so many Americans including myself are calling for complete restructuring
Of the FBI and it is a reason why now years later the country finds itself so divided Mr dorm is it accurate to say the crossfire hurricane investigators made little to no effort to corroborate the anchenko’s version of events relating to million that would be correct thank you and it
Is it accurate to say that despite not corroborating this information that Crossfire hurricane still used the million accusation it’s a bolster The Carter page fisa applications and that information was used in the initial fisa application and the three renewal applications so the answer is yes yes given the lack of effort by the
Crossfire hurricane investigators to validate the anciento’s assertions about Milian and their use of these unverified allegations in the corner page fisa application does this raise any legal or ethical concerns about the validity of these fisa applications I think the um it’s been recognized by the department and certainly by the fisa
Court to do it respect to at least some of those applications they would never have been authorized it would have been granted had the information been disclosed so it did help in achieving the fisa approval without question okay I mean we’re getting to the real these are the real issues misinformation bad people
Moving forward getting fisa applications doing all that they did I have one quick last question do you believe the FBI has been politicized and weaponized and is in need for complete restructuring I know I do I know you have a softer version of it I think too much happened too many
Bad things happened that that you just can’t move a few people around and make some minor changes I think you need some major changes and I also want to say there are many good people that work for the Department of Justice and work for the FBI proud to know him these folks
Surely were not gentlemen’s time has expired the witness May respond if he chooses yeah and what I can what I can say is that there were identified documented significant failures of a highly sensitive unique investigation that was undertaken by the FBI in the investigation clearly reveals that
Um decisions that were made were made in one direction if there was something that was inconsistent with the notion that Trump was involved in a well-coordinated conspiracy with the Russians and went on that information was largely discarded or ignored and I think unfortunately that’s what the facts bear out
Gentlemen it yields back the gentleman from Georgia’s recognization
