dan: regarding the christopher steele case, did the case being investigated now, without getting into the weeds on that. it temperatures clear the fbi was paying multiple source and some agents went in front of a magistrate and swore out the things they swore were true which weren't. if we are going to have a fisa court that's not adversarial with no defense attorney in there, it's important to have people with honor and integrity swearing that the things are true. this is a serious case. >> yes, it is. it's a serious allegation. i don't have direct knowledge. but i'm happy this has come to the public's awareness similar to my complaints. if it bears out to be accurate. i think it indicates a pattern in the fbi's behavior that it's willing to operate outside its rules for carrying out proper investigations which what i expressed in my whistleblower complaint. dan: i have got to imagine there are more people out there wanting to come forward to try to clean the agency up. >> i think so. i received a lot of outreaches specially from the retired agent community. the oath we took when we

we learned in the trial that the fbi in 2016 offered christopher steele $1 million if he could authent dossier that hillary clinton paid for and hillary clinton's friend was the source for igor danchenko which means that dossier was all hillary clinton bowed and paid for. -- bought and paid for. no investigation. the first fisa application warrant that mccabe said without which we could not get the fisa application approved. the fbi knew they didn't verify it. the fbi lied to fisa court judges and nobody has been held accountable. when danchenko told them it was a lie in january 2017, they started paying him? to buy his silence? will we ever get to the bottom of this? are all of these people who signed those fisa warrants filled with information they knew was not verified. will they ever be held accountable? >> if i win my race and we get the majority i will get to the bottom of this. i think you are right. these trials were more about the fbi corruption. the reason sussmann and igor danchenko were, quitted is because the jury found the fbi was more corrupt in what they did. we need to

infamous and explosive trump-russia dossier, which was put together by a former british spy in christopher steele. durham alleges he lied during those interviews which formed the basis of his prosecution today. they threw out one of the five counts saying durham had not presented enough evidence to convict and it would be wrong to let that part of the case move forward to the jury. what that means there are four charges left. the jury will likely begin its deliberations on monday. the stakes are very high. there have only been three prosecutions to come out of the three-yearlong durham investigation. one of them was a guilty plea of a low level fbi attorney who avoided jail. the second trial ended in an acquittal earlier nice year, which is a pretty rare feat where prosecution levels is very high. it's all up to this jury to see how the durham investigation is going to come to a close. cnn has previously reported durham is winding down his work, preparing for a final report which will be submitted to the attorney general for review and public release. marshall cohen, cnn, washington. >>> the brit

danchenko is the man the government says was the primary sub source for ex british spy christopher steelendidate donald trump. durham said he lied to an f.b.i. when he said he hadn't talked to a democratic political operative named charles -- the two communicated email and didn't talk. it was enough for the judge to get rid of the first charge. a special f.b.i. agent told jurors danchenko was a valuable informant adding american national security is more at risk without him. he claimed danchenko helped the bureau with some 25 investigations. not clear how it will turn out. john durham began his investigation more than three years ago. ultimately as we saw unfold last week this case is more than about danchenko and in the eyes of john durham it is about some of the miss steps by the f.b.i. in 2016 and early 2017. >> dana: i said jury selection. it is jury deliberations that start today. thank you. >> president biden: our economy is strong as hell. inflation is worldwide. worse off than the united states. so the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not

danchenko, the government says, the primary subsource for christopher steele who compiled the widely ed about steele dossier aimed at taking down then candidate donald trump. john durham alleged danchenko lied to an fbi agent when he said that he had not "talked to a democratic political operative named charles dolen" about the steele dossier. that operative gave danchenko information that ended up in the dossier. dolan and danchenko did not technically speak. because they communicated through email, that was one reason that was thrown out. special agent kevin hellson, a government witness made an interesting bit of testimony when he defended danchenko, saying he was a valuable informant, and that american national security is more at risk without danchenko still working for the bureau. he claimed danchenko helped fbi with some 25 investigations. john, no matter what the jury decides, ultimately john durham in some way seemed to move past this specific case and while on paper this is about lying to the fbi and those four counts, in many ways it's about the fbi taking the fbi to task,

the fbi is accused of here, danchenko is claiming in this trial that he was just told that christopher steelee dossier they had on candidate donald trump at the time, was just, you know, he was just relaying information and therefore he can't be held accountable for lying to the fbi. from the fbi perspective, not a single fbi agent who has testified in this trial has been able to corroborate a single thing in the dossier yet they used danchenko as a source for years for the fbi. continued to use the information that could not be corroborated in fisa applications, and lied to the court doing that, and john durham was supposed to be a special counsel that was put in place to try and bring some accountability to the bureau for having the politics that have infected the agency taken out of it respect what he's doing, very thorough, or a conviction or people held accountable, the fbi is really the one that needs to be looked at and cleaned out. although peter struck is no longer there, sent text messages to lisa page about not allowing donald trump to be president, they are no longer there but a l

was in the durham report when the revelations are now emerging that $1 million was given to christopher steeleng in his dossier was correct. the hoax is underlined. the mueller report is wasted money, even though it exonerates the former president. there is a huge story going on right now. and it isn't january 6th. at this two and half years and the laptop of the fbi going out of their way to destroy the republican party and donald trump. but now, you have it on trial. now, you have the facts. and you don't even need the jury verdict. but we will discuss that a little bit later. ainsley i know you have to get to the town hall but carley shimkus will give us the rest of the news. >> i certainly will and we start with the the southern border, two migrant buses arriving in new york city. texas state troopers apprehends 15 illegal immigrants during a human smuggling bus. dashcam video with a chase before the migrant bailout and they try to make a run for it there. eagle pass, venezuelan migrants are shocked when they find out they will be sent back to mexico under a new biden administration policy

and on top of that, would pay christopher steele for the dossier but could not do it.athan turley, what do you think of the big take-aways from the danchenko trial here? >> thanks, john, good to have you back. >> john: thank you. >> the trial -- the trial presented what was very strong evidence that danchenko put false material into the dossier. that's not too surprising. the dossier was viewed by american intelligence as not just bogus but likely russian disinformation. what was really gripping was the examination of one of the key fbi figures that worked with danchenko, and this witness actually tried to rehabilitate him saying he was a great asset and durham said you are aware there are american intelligence officials that believe he's a double agent, and he said well, i never could get access to those files and durham said all you do is ask. didn't -- and so the clear import was that he didn't think it was important enough to ask whether he was running a double agent. and so this has just been a gripping series of testimonies from these witnesses. now, whether durh

with not guilty verdicts against the russia analyst who was one of the primary sources for christopher steele'ser of allegations against donald trump back in 2016. this is the second time now that john durham, the special counsel, appointed under then attorney general bill barr, has taken a case to trial and in both cases, juries have come back with not guilty verdicts. the previous case was against a former clinton campaign lawyer here in washington. that was back a few months ago. in this case, danchenko was on trial inial sand dree ya, virginia, and it's the sail result. now, the last few days, you've seen some struggles by john durham in this case. the judge threw out one of the counts, saying, simply put, that the fbi -- that he didn't lie, this is the accusation. he was charged with lying to the fbi and the judge simply said, he dismissed it, simply because he said the evidence showed that he did not lie. what we've seen, though, in recent days from john durham is, he started attacking some of his own witnesses. fbi agents who were part of this investigation. he came out and said that, es

danchenko is the man the government says was the primary subsource for ex-british spy christopher steele filed that infamous dossier. durham alleged that danchenko lied to an fbi agent when he said he hadn't, quote, talked to a democratic political operative named charles dolan about the zeal dossier. dolan gave danchenko information that ended up in the dossier, but the two communicated via e-mail. technically, they didn't talk. the judge threw out that one charge. dolan, a witness in this case who's not on trial, has connections to russia according to two fbi employees who took the stand yesterday, specifically to putin's spokesman. the two employees claim the mueller team quashed their efforts to investigate or even interview dolan. again, dolan not on trial, igor danchenko is. if john durham is not successful when a jury begins deliberations tomorrow and they ultimately find danchenko not guilty, he still may win in the court of public opinion. he's expected to weave together a narrative of three and a half years of putting this story together and, ultimately, it's a lot more about t

they wanted to take down donald trump so badly that they were willing to pay christopher steele a millionrs if he could verify what he was getting and they put danchenko on the payroll and kept him there for a few years and i think it is going to be interesting to see what durham's next steps are. but what the american people are gaining from this is insight into exactly how corrupted this group -- elizabeth: hearing this from your voters? >> yes. i'm talking to tennesseans every single day. what they know, there are two tiers of justice. clinton was involved in this. they paid for it. they tried to push it over. they had this narrative. they wouldn't let it go. they wanted to take down president trump. elizabeth: so the special counsel durham in his closing arguments says the elephant in the room is the incompetence, quote of the fbi, how it mishandled it, right? basically james comey by october of 2016 new it was unverified the steele dossier. told the doj that. went ahead, this is the story to get fisa wiretaps on trump campaign including carter page. they misled the american people, f

igor danchenko, the russian national accused of being the subsource for christopher steele found noty. igor danchenko not guilty in a court. a jury of his peers, 12 jurors decided they would not put him behind bars or find him guilty on four counts of lying to the fbi. danchenko was in the courtroom at the time. we don't know exactly if he breathed a sigh of relief. we had to get the news out as soon as possible. this is part of john durham's investigation, the special counsel appointed by attorney general bill barr to look at the origins of the narrative that pinned donald trump to russia back in 2016 or 2017. we covered efforts by the fbi and others to investigate trump. that was kind of the purpose of the entire mueller report. so john durham was tasked with looking at the origins of the russia narrative to see where it came from. he charged a hillary clinton campaign attorney named michael sussmann last year. he was on trial also for lying to the fbi. he was acquitted in may. this is john durham, the special counsel's second loss in a court of law. we've been told that john durha

jury found the primary source of christopher steele's debunked dossier not guilty on four counts of lying probe into the origins of the trump russia investigation is up in the air as michael sussmann was also found not guilty of lying to the fbi in june. joining me now is north carolina senate candidate, north carolina congressman, ted budd. it's good to have you this morning. what's going on? will we ever see accountability for the fbi? we know the fbi was not a victim here. we know the fbi was well aware that the dossier was all made up and yet they still pursued fisa warrants to spy on trump campaign officials such as carter page. >> yeah. look, the verdict doesn't change the fact that the russian collusion narrative was a total hoax. i know that throughout the trial, john durham uncovered a lot of information and really showed that president trump was doing something great and that the clinton campaign and the establishment and a washington, d.c., the swamp, was scared to he death of what he was going to do. so this really about the fact that they'reen trenched, they didn't want chang

they told christopher steele in october 2016, weeks before the presidential election, they would give a million dollars to confirm what was in the dos yeah. what we learned is that the sources didn't speak to the people that they said gave them this information and dirt on donald trump. then they turned it in to get a fisa warrant so that they could get a hook in to the trump team through carter page, who says even though he was an informant at one point, he was never paid a dime. what do you think? >> no, it's very alarming. one of the most important aspects of this special counsel, he will produce a report. the statute of limitations is running out on a lot of crimes. there was a limitation on how far he could like hi go. the thing that most of us had hope for with the appointment of a special counsel is to have a report. because it is really breathtaking how much either special counsel mueller did not know or chose not to put in his report. we have learned a lot from this special counsel. including how the hillary clinton campaign funded the steele dossier, denied they were funding

reveal, special counsel john durham he revealing that the fbi offered to pay ex british spy christopher steelelion min dollars. you covered this so much. your reaction to this and the ongoing try of igor danchenko who had a three day interview in january of 2017 with the fbi and he told them at that time, no, the dossier was made up. we were embellishing, we were having beers with friends and laughing about it. >> maria, it goes to your first point which is they wanted to get donald trump so badly that they were willing to pay a million dollars to corroborate the steele dossier and a this is -- the trial is all about how they could never corroborate it and it's -- i think it's kudos to john durham for actually telling the story through these various trials but especially the danchenko trial. i think as this case lays out, you're going to see how desperate the fbi was to prove these allegations because they wanted it to be true and in fact, they wanted it to be true so much that they put it in to the carter page fisa before they even corroborated it. maria: it's great to get your take on all of

that they had offered christopher steele $1 million to corroborate the debunked steele dossier?did not know that, but we certainly found out that the fbi knew that the steele dossier was tainted by russian disinformation from igor danchenko, then they put him on the payroll. so as corrupt as the biden family is, and we've known this literally for year years, the news media has, senator grassley and i have, but what may be even more troubling is the corruption within federal law enforcement and inside a corrupt, complicit and dishonest media. if we had an unbiased, honest media, first of all, we wouldn't have the corruption inside federal law enforcement because they'd be holding people accountable. they would have been screaming about being fed false information as a result, resulting from the russian collusion hoax. but they're not honest. they're complicit in all of this, and they're covering up for the democrats. maria: well, it's not all the media, obviously. i've been covering this for many years now as well as the russian collusion lie as has fox news, so there's that. >>

and igor danchengo, who was one of the prime sources for christopher steele's dossier, which had theseald trump. the judge today decided that at least one of those counts did not need to go to the jury. he said that durham's case was too weak. he said on this one count, which related to a conversation that he had with a democratic operative, that his answer to the fbi was "literally true." so he threw that count out. he's still facing four additional counts. as you pointed out, this is a setback for durham. he's been going at this for three years. this was the much ballyhooed investigation of the investigators. the former president, attorney general bill barr at the time, appointed him, expecting great things to try to figure out where the fbi and where the deep state was going after the former president, donald trump. and at the end of this, all durham has to show for it is one conviction, a guilty plea of a former fbi lawyer, who made some -- who lied on a fisa application. he also brought charges against a lawyer for the democratic national committee. that case fell apart and he was
