That’s what investigative reporter John Solomon told FOX NEWS’ Maria Bartiromo on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

In fact, if you saw our reports last week about new developments in the Special Counsel investigation, Bartiromo’s interviews with both Solomon and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe will serve as a great summary and follow-up. (And if you didn’t see them, these interviews will help catch you up.) Here’s the link to that episode; Bartiromo’s coverage of the Durham probe starts about 17 minutes in.

Solomon, who told Maria the Danchenko indictment shows the Trump-Russia investigation was built on “lie upon lie upon lie,” has a new report at JUST THE NEWS in which he shifts to Durham’s look at top FBI officials.

According to Solomon, Durham has two “buckets” of evidence he’s assembling, one implicating the Clinton campaign and the other involving top intel personnel and their willingness to mislead with falsified evidence in their pursuit of Trump. He told Bartiromo that “many other [intel] people are being examined at this moment.”

“There’s no doubt there’s activity inside the grand jury right now,” he said, “aimed at looking at top level officials at the FBI.” Red flags were raised on the Steele “dossier” as early as August of 2016 but were obviously set aside. A month later, the CIA tied it to the Clinton campaign, but sent their report on this to...Peter Strzok. The FBI even had a spreadsheet indicating all the dossier’s impossible or uncorroborated claims.

Solomon says the latest criminal indictment, that of Christopher Steele’s primary sub-source Igor Danchenko --- alleged to have made false statements five times to the FBI --- is just as much an indictment of the FBI as it is of him. The FBI should have seen the serious flaws in the “dossier” even though Danchenko didn’t tell them about getting the material from Clinton ally Charles Dolan.

Incidentally, Dolan wasn’t Danchenko’s only named sub-source. One of the others, “Sub-source #4,” Alexey Sergeyevich Dundich, claims Danchenko “framed” him as a sub-source “to add credibility to his low-quality work.”

“My impression is that Mr. Danchenko fabricated the information published in the Dossier to make quick money,” he declared. “It is apparent to me that the Dossier is a deliberate fraud and a collection of idle rumors.”

But if the “dossier” was so obviously bogus, why didn’t then-FBI Director James Comey, deputy Director Andrew McCabe and lead “Crossfire Hurricane” investigator Peter Strzok dismiss it as such? They clearly knew it was a hoax. As retired FBI intelligence chief Kevin Brock says, “The fact pattern that John Durham is methodically establishing shows what James Comey and Andrew McCabe likely knew from Day One, that the Steele ‘dossier’ was politically-driven nonsense at the behest of the Clinton campaign. “And yet they knowingly ran with its false information to obtain legal process against an American citizen. They defrauded not just a federal court, they defrauded the FBI and the American people.”

He went on to say that this has destroyed trust in the FBI. “As Comey cashes his royalty checks from a book and a movie, where do everyday, working FBI agents go to get the Bureau’s reputation back? The damage done by Comey, McCabe and others to the trust that Americans have traditionally placed in the FBI is incalculable.”

Indeed, as the depth of this deceit becomes increasingly evident, there will no doubt be calls to dismantle the FBI and completely start over. I would say the person most qualified –- and motivated –- to restructure the intel bureaucracy might be none other than Mike Flynn. Now THAT would be justice.

I would also add that, in exploiting this fakery after Trump became President, it was THEY at the Justice Department –- as opposed to Trump supporters –- who were involved in a coup, ultimately engineered by Hillary Clinton and her allies. I hope this is where Durham is headed.

One defense the FBI will likely try, to defend itself against charges of corruption, is that this happened because of incompetent people at the top, but that doesn’t wash. As Solomon points out, one FBI official, Kevin Clinesmith, has already admitted doctoring a piece of evidence that was used to get the Carter Page warrant. And these people are highly skilled at protecting themselves legally. Recall that Comey even gave up his security clearance so he wouldn’t be able to testify about classified matters. Not so incompetent when it comes to covering his backside.

Former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes has known about the Clinton connection for years now. “We already knew the Steele ‘dossier’ was orchestrated and funded by the Democrats, and now we know that a Democrat operative, who’d been a registered Russian agent and was closely linked to Kremlin officials, served as a direct source for the dossier’s fabrications, he told JUST THE NEWS in a reference to Charles Dolan. “As I’ve said for years, the only people who colluded with Russians were the Democrats.”

https://freebeacon.com/national-security/clinton-operative-linked-to-steele-dossier-did-not-disclose-work-for-russia-to-justice-department/

As for Peter Strzok, he went on MSNBC Thursday and actually denied to Rachel Maddow that there was ever an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, which is a blatant lie. (I assume he’d justify this statement by saying Carter Page was no longer with the Trump campaign when they got the warrant against him; this is a dodge that is easily dismantled.) He said that what “certain far-right commentators” are saying about that is “nonsense.”

Solomon just smiled and shook his head at this, saying that Strzok’s own original statement that started the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation was that they were “looking at whether individuals associated with the Trump campaign were coordinating or conspiring with Russia.” The Trump campaign was mentioned a dozen times in the first FISA application, submitted in October of 2016 at the height of the campaign.

“He was lying the other night,” Solomon said. “There’s no other way to say it politely.”

Sara Carter, in an appearance this weekend on Steve Hilton’s FOX NEWS show THE NEXT REVOLUTION, brought up a couple of interesting facts we didn’t know about Fiona Hill, a star witness in Trump Impeachment #1. Not only did she introduce Igor Danchenko to Christopher Steele, but she also introduced Clinton crony Charles Dolan to Danchenko. All of these connections appear to center around the solidly anti-Trump “think-tank” the Brookings Institution, headed by big-time Clinton ally Strobe Talbott. Also, Hill was working closely at the time with H. R. McMaster, the person who replaced Michael Flynn as Trump’s new national security adviser after the FBI set Flynn up and destroyed his career. It seems that practically every day, there’s another puzzle piece or two to put in place.

    Before you go installing Michael Flynn to anything, I think you should hear some of his prayers... they sound like he talking to some god other then the ne of the Bible, that is God the Father.

    After all the investigation Durham has done, very little has come out of it... a few token indictments. What's more, after years of expose's regarding Russia Gate, Hillary's computer, The Clinton Foundation/machine/corruption, Hunter's illicit dealings (e.g., Bierisma, Joe's disgusting sexual exhibitionism and other weird behavior around women, Joe's blackmailing Ukraine regarding a billion dollars of aid unless they fire the prosecutor going after Hunter, the faux impeachments of Trump, and so on ad nauseum, the Republicans do nothing. The Republicans are "the do nothing party". The way things are going, it seems Durham's investigations are nothing but a distraction to make people think something is going to happen to these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats but nothing significant every happens. Everywhere we turn, from local government to state and national, corruption prevails and the undermining of our constitutional ideals. We have lost the nation of "WE THE PEOPLE" to a nation of "they the bureaucrats, politicians, and billionaires".

    WHY? Can’t the GOP ever get anything done- all the investigations for Benghazi, Hunter Biden/Joe Biden should be tried for treason, Pelosi and other members of Congress for illegal gains by inside info, etc, etc, etc. Dems are NEVER found guilty and they just continue on their merry way “screwing” the rest of US citizens. All this BS re illegals at the border, all the HORRIBLE Afghans that were let in and US citizens left behind. And all the illegals are getting FREE “everything”. I HATE OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT.

    Mass corruption obviously took place with the dossier and I am betting it will all come to naught as so many other instances have. I also recall that John McCain"s little feet scampered to the NY Times as fast as they could carry him with the phony dossier. What a dupe. He is one of the all time phonies. It seems that being a RINO is fashionable. He had the media fawning over him as this "maverick" when, in fact, this phony was betraying the people who elected him. Then, damned if the AZ voters didn't rush to elect Kelly, another RINO. Do these people never learn from their mistakes?

Pastor Mike, what real actionable steps can the American people do dismantle the FBI, CDC, and other swamp departments that have been weaponized against the American people? We can't vote them out. We can't stop paying taxes that support these departments. We can't rely on their good people in the lower ranks of these bureaucracies to be able to resist unlawful orders. What suggestions do you have to get started on the task to put an end to these swamp departments? I am listening, and hoping for some real practical ideas.

    Governor Huckabee,
    This email is about the Mayorkas story. I have seen him as a joke in all his responses like " the border is closed", telling illegal immigrants " don't come here", etc. So of course I saw the hypocrisy of the Biden administration and him with the "vaccine mandate" for Americans, and not requiring the illegals crossing the border to get Covid vaccines before the media pointed it out. As the Amish would say, he's a dumbkoff if he thinks anyone is fooled by him! So I am glad to see him being grilled by the Republican Senators who grilled him this past week on these issues. I guess between him and Kamala Harris' avoidance of her job to improve the border, maybe it would be a tie as to who is the most incompetent. Keep up the good job reporting daily. I enjoy your take on current issues. I also enjoy the Bible verses daily and the hymns that have been added recently. Thanks for letting me vent my frustrations about President Biden's incompetent picks for important positions. Keep up the great work!

    Sincerely,
    Jan Whorton

    According to Solomon, Durham has two “buckets” of evidence he’s assembling, one implicating the Clinton campaign and the other involving top intel personnel and their willingness to mislead with falsified evidence in their pursuit of Trump. He told Bartiromo that “many other [intel] people are being examined at this moment.”

    “There’s no doubt there’s activity inside the grand jury right now,” he said, “aimed at looking at top level officials at the FBI.” Red flags were raised on the Steele “dossier” as early as August of 2016 but were obviously set aside.

It seems that practically every day, there’s another puzzle piece or two to put in place.

      Before you go installing Michael Flynn to anything, I think you should hear some of his prayers... they sound like he talking to some god other then the ne of the Bible, that is God the Father.
      "Be ye therefore as wise as serpent and harmless as doves." there re a lot of goats in sheep's clothing.
      I've been deceived many times by what seemed to to the righteous only to find out they were just self righteous hypocrites!

      The closer they get the more the DOJ will declare inadequate funding to continue the investigation. Cost controls / budgetary constraints. Think of who will be appointed Vice-President if Harris bites the dust! 'Back door man / woman.'

      After all the investigation Durham has done, very little has come out of it... a few token indictments. What's more, after years of expose's regarding Russia Gate, Hillary's computer, The Clinton Foundation/machine/corruption, Hunter's illicit dealings (e.g., Bierisma, Joe's disgusting sexual exhibitionism and other weird behavior around women, Joe's blackmailing Ukraine regarding a billion dollars of aid unless they fire the prosecutor going after Hunter, the faux impeachments of Trump, and so on ad nauseum, the Republicans do nothing. The Republicans are "the do nothing party". The way things are going, it seems Durham's investigations are nothing but a distraction to make people think something is going to happen to these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats but nothing significant every happens. Everywhere we turn, from local government to state and national, corruption prevails and the undermining of our constitutional ideals. We have lost the nation of "WE THE PEOPLE" to a nation of "they the bureaucrats, politicians, and billionaires".

      WHY? Can’t the GOP ever get anything done- all the investigations for Benghazi, Hunter Biden/Joe Biden should be tried for treason, Pelosi and other members of Congress for illegal gains by inside info, etc, etc, etc. Dems are NEVER found guilty and they just continue on their merry way “screwing” the rest of US citizens. All this BS re illegals at the border, all the HORRIBLE Afghans that were let in and US citizens left behind. And all the illegals are getting FREE “everything”. I HATE OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT.

      Mass corruption obviously took place with the dossier and I am betting it will all come to naught as so many other instances have. I also recall that John McCain"s little feet scampered to the NY Times as fast as they could carry him with the phony dossier. What a dupe. He is one of the all time phonies. It seems that being a RINO is fashionable. He had the media fawning over him as this "maverick" when, in fact, this phony was betraying the people who elected him. Then, damned if the AZ voters didn't rush to elect Kelly, another RINO. Do these people never learn from their mistakes?

      Love your show, your podcast and hurray for your newsletter. The first thing I do every morning is see what your newsletter has to say. Pastor Mike, what real actionable steps can the American people do dismantle the FBI, CDC, and other swamp departments that have been weaponized against the American people? We can't vote them out. We can't stop paying taxes that support these departments. We can't rely on their good people in the lower ranks of these bureaucracies to be able to resist unlawful orders. What suggestions do you have to get started on the task to put an end to these swamp departments? I am listening, and hoping for some real practical ideas.

      Governor Huckabee,
      This email is about the Mayorkas story. I have seen him as a joke in all his responses like " the border is closed", telling illegal immigrants " don't come here", etc. So of course I saw the hypocrisy of the Biden administration and him with the "vaccine mandate" for Americans, and not requiring the illegals crossing the border to get Covid vaccines before the media pointed it out. As the Amish would say, he's a dumbkoff if he thinks anyone is fooled by him! So I am glad to see him being grilled by the Republican Senators who grilled him this past week on these issues. I guess between him and Kamala Harris' avoidance of her job to improve the border, maybe it would be a tie as to who is the most incompetent. Keep up the good job reporting daily. I enjoy your take on current issues. I also enjoy the Bible verses daily and the hymns that have been added recently. Thanks for letting me vent my frustrations about President Biden's incompetent picks for important positions. Keep up the great work!

      Sincerely,
      Jan Whorton

    Election 2024 Coverage

    November 8, 2021
    |

    That’s what investigative reporter John Solomon told FOX NEWS’ Maria Bartiromo on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

    In fact, if you saw our reports last week about new developments in the Special Counsel investigation, Bartiromo’s interviews with both Solomon and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe will serve as a great summary and follow-up. (And if you didn’t see them, these interviews will help catch you up.) Here’s the link to that episode; Bartiromo’s coverage of the Durham probe starts about 17 minutes in.

    https://www.fox.com/watch/1d8b670ef3da2a619b2f20ee00351f82/

    Solomon, who told Maria the Danchenko indictment shows the Trump-Russia investigation was built on “lie upon lie upon lie,” has a new report at JUST THE NEWS in which he shifts to Durham’s look at top FBI officials.

    https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/biggest-loser-durham-indictments-james-comeys-fbi

    According to Solomon, Durham has two “buckets” of evidence he’s assembling, one implicating the Clinton campaign and the other involving top intel personnel and their willingness to mislead with falsified evidence in their pursuit of Trump. He told Bartiromo that “many other [intel] people are being examined at this moment.”

    “There’s no doubt there’s activity inside the grand jury right now,” he said, “aimed at looking at top level officials at the FBI.” Red flags were raised on the Steele “dossier” as early as August of 2016 but were obviously set aside. A month later, the CIA tied it to the Clinton campaign, but sent their report on this to...Peter Strzok. The FBI even had a spreadsheet indicating all the dossier’s impossible or uncorroborated claims.

    Solomon says the latest criminal indictment, that of Christopher Steele’s primary sub-source Igor Danchenko --- alleged to have made false statements five times to the FBI --- is just as much an indictment of the FBI as it is of him. The FBI should have seen the serious flaws in the “dossier” even though Danchenko didn’t tell them about getting the material from Clinton ally Charles Dolan.

    Incidentally, Dolan wasn’t Danchenko’s only named sub-source. One of the others, “Sub-source #4,” Alexey Sergeyevich Dundich, claims Danchenko “framed” him as a sub-source “to add credibility to his low-quality work.”

    “My impression is that Mr. Danchenko fabricated the information published in the Dossier to make quick money,” he declared. “It is apparent to me that the Dossier is a deliberate fraud and a collection of idle rumors.”

    But if the “dossier” was so obviously bogus, why didn’t then-FBI Director James Comey, deputy Director Andrew McCabe and lead “Crossfire Hurricane” investigator Peter Strzok dismiss it as such? They clearly knew it was a hoax. As retired FBI intelligence chief Kevin Brock says, “The fact pattern that John Durham is methodically establishing shows what James Comey and Andrew McCabe likely knew from Day One, that the Steele ‘dossier’ was politically-driven nonsense at the behest of the Clinton campaign. “And yet they knowingly ran with its false information to obtain legal process against an American citizen. They defrauded not just a federal court, they defrauded the FBI and the American people.”

    He went on to say that this has destroyed trust in the FBI. “As Comey cashes his royalty checks from a book and a movie, where do everyday, working FBI agents go to get the Bureau’s reputation back? The damage done by Comey, McCabe and others to the trust that Americans have traditionally placed in the FBI is incalculable.”

    Indeed, as the depth of this deceit becomes increasingly evident, there will no doubt be calls to dismantle the FBI and completely start over. I would say the person most qualified –- and motivated –- to restructure the intel bureaucracy might be none other than Mike Flynn. Now THAT would be justice.

    I would also add that, in exploiting this fakery after Trump became President, it was THEY at the Justice Department –- as opposed to Trump supporters –- who were involved in a coup, ultimately engineered by Hillary Clinton and her allies. I hope this is where Durham is headed.

    One defense the FBI will likely try, to defend itself against charges of corruption, is that this happened because of incompetent people at the top, but that doesn’t wash. As Solomon points out, one FBI official, Kevin Clinesmith, has already admitted doctoring a piece of evidence that was used to get the Carter Page warrant. And these people are highly skilled at protecting themselves legally. Recall that Comey even gave up his security clearance so he wouldn’t be able to testify about classified matters. Not so incompetent when it comes to covering his backside.

    Former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes has known about the Clinton connection for years now. “We already knew the Steele ‘dossier’ was orchestrated and funded by the Democrats, and now we know that a Democrat operative, who’d been a registered Russian agent and was closely linked to Kremlin officials, served as a direct source for the dossier’s fabrications, he told JUST THE NEWS in a reference to Charles Dolan. “As I’ve said for years, the only people who colluded with Russians were the Democrats.”

    https://freebeacon.com/national-security/clinton-operative-linked-to-steele-dossier-did-not-disclose-work-for-russia-to-justice-department/

    As for Peter Strzok, he went on MSNBC Thursday and actually denied to Rachel Maddow that there was ever an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, which is a blatant lie. (I assume he’d justify this statement by saying Carter Page was no longer with the Trump campaign when they got the warrant against him; this is a dodge that is easily dismantled.) He said that what “certain far-right commentators” are saying about that is “nonsense.”

    Solomon just smiled and shook his head at this, saying that Strzok’s own original statement that started the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation was that they were “looking at whether individuals associated with the Trump campaign were coordinating or conspiring with Russia.” The Trump campaign was mentioned a dozen times in the first FISA application, submitted in October of 2016 at the height of the campaign.

    “He was lying the other night,” Solomon said. “There’s no other way to say it politely.”

    Sara Carter, in an appearance this weekend on Steve Hilton’s FOX NEWS show THE NEXT REVOLUTION, brought up a couple of interesting facts we didn’t know about Fiona Hill, a star witness in Trump Impeachment #1. Not only did she introduce Igor Danchenko to Christopher Steele, but she also introduced Clinton crony Charles Dolan to Danchenko. All of these connections appear to center around the solidly anti-Trump “think-tank” the Brookings Institution, headed by big-time Clinton ally Strobe Talbott. Also, Hill was working closely at the time with H. R. McMaster, the person who replaced Michael Flynn as Trump’s new national security adviser after the FBI set Flynn up and destroyed his career. It seems that practically every day, there’s another puzzle piece or two to put in place.
