A sixteen-member jury was selected on Tuesday and opening arguments were set for Tuesday afternoon in the trial of Igor Danchenko.
Danchenko a Russian national charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI in regard to the origins of the Steele Dossier.
On Tuesday, according to Sean Langille from FOX News — During questioning from Special Counsel John Durham, Brian Auten, a supervisory counterintelligence analyst with the FBI, revealed the FBI offered Christopher Steele one million dollars if he could corroborate allegations in the Dossier.
Unfortunately for the FBI, Steele could not do so. Auten repeatedly admitted under questioning from Durham that the FBI never got corroboration of the information in the Steele Dossier but used it in the initial FISA application and in the three subsequent renewals.
Sean Langille from FOX News Night tweeted this out from court earlier today.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Igor Danchenko and his Deep State connections.
On July 19th 2020 TGP broke the story that the Primary Sub-Source (PSS) for the Steele dossier was Igor Danchenko – the individual behind most of the made up lies in the Steele dossier.
Danchenko is the main individual those investigating the Trump-Russia collusion fraud wanted to identify – the PSS – the individual who was behind the material amount of Steele dossier lies. The Deep State kept Danchenko’s name hidden for nearly four years.
One site that located the PSS is aptly named https://ifoundthepss.blogspot.com/2020/07/unmistakable-proof.html (We’ll refer to this individual and website as IFTPSS.) You can find all the excellent information IFTPSS obtained in identifying Danchenko at that site with a summary from our post.
We reported earlier on the relationship Danchenko had with his former professor Fiona Hill – they both worked at the Brookings Institute:
Yup, with Fiona Hill, one of the colleagues of Igor Danchenko at Brookings.
What a coincidence, huh?
Imagine that: the PSS lives in the USA & is a colleague of Fiona. pic.twitter.com/qJo488G3x5— Jaap Titulaer (@JaapTitulaer) July 19, 2020
The connection to Fiona Hill is huge because it shows that Adam Schiff’s disgusting unconstitutional impeachment proceeding with his star witness, Fiona Hill, is closely connected to the Russian scandal and the PSS. No wonder the Deep State wanted Danchenko’s name hidden. They’ve kept it hidden for four years.
Of course, according to her resume Fiona Hill worked for the George Soros Open Society Institute from 2000-2006, just 13 years ago.
We then reported in July 2020 Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations reported on the PSS and added more color to the individual responsible for all the made-up lies in the fraudulent Steele dossier.
Per Sperry’s reporting of the PSS, he comes across as a misguided alcoholic who was willing to subvert rules to make a living. He reportedly never was an employee of Orbis, Steele’s firm, so this would not impede his chances of obtaining a security clearance. Instead, he was paid through a friend who owned an employment agency and worked out a deal with Steele to pay Danchenko.
We then reported on Danchenko’s bias in 2008 where he stated that he preferred Biden and Obama in that year’s Presidential race as was reported by the far-left Huffington Post.
We then reported that Danchenko was American-based not Russian-based. But this was mis-reported (another lie) in the FBI FISA application.
Per a cursory review of the IG’s FISA report on Carter Page, the fact that Danchenko was not based in Russia was not listed as a material discrepancy in the IG’s report and included in the list of 17 material issues emanating from the fraudulent FISA report.
According to transcripts from Steele’scourt case in the UK, Steele noted that he was provided theories to add to the dossier. The information didn’t come from sources, it was fed to Steele from a former DOJ attorney and Fusion GPS, the firm paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC to create the dossier.
Today we find out they never could prove the Steele Dossier but the FBI used it to go after Trump anyway.
