Pete, the primary source for the PETE, the primary source for the Steele dossier, now arrested, accused of lying to the FBI as part of John Durham want investigation into the origins of the Russia Probe Russian Igor Danchenko appearing briefly in port yesterday, planning to plead not guilty for being released on bond here to react: Dan Hoffman, a former CIA station chief who served in Russia, Iraq and Pakistan Dan thanks. So much for being here, you know when it comes to Igor. He first claimed to have a network of subsources in Russia, which he then later admitted was gossip and totally fabricated information admitted to agents that it was rumor and speculation. One of his sources was James Dollan, who worked for the Clintons, who said he had a republican friend who had information. He later admitted that he made up the republican friend. Is this all fabricated? And what does this development mean? I mean there is no

indication that isnt anything but fab fabrication, its important that the Durham investigation has exposed the fraud that we allowed Christopher Steele to perpetrate on our political process and our democracy. You know Danchenko outsourced his collection to Danchenko and all of danchenkos subsources were deposed and they all admitted there was nothing that dossier that was consistent with what they told Danchenko. One of danchenkos subsources in Moscow even said that Danchenko appeared to be intoxicated, so there was always a great deal of concern about the collection, Danchenko reportedly traveled to Russia, with this p dot r executive, Mr Dollan, that would have been absolutely a collection effort by the Russian Security Press, the Ffsb. We tracked all of this Fox amp friends. I remember it well conduit for disinformation and we willfully allowed it to happen, and the Congress needs to take steps to ensure this doesnt happen again.

My only concern about this is its taken five years for us to get to the bottom of it its not like fine wine getting better with age PETE. You are exactly right. The damage was done this guy by the way, Danchenko worked at the Brookings Institute, a very influential left of center. Think tank in Washington D, DOT C. This wasnt, some random guy making stuff up had credibility now will lose it all. But the fact that the media believed this dossier was credible to begin with, and the government we cant get that back. As you pointed out, it doesnt age. Well, interest will be more on this from Durham and we will get you when we have it. I want to get your take ons that well Dan Awive, CIA chief. The apparatus now is saying it could lose thousands of staffers due to the vaccine mandate as much as twenty percent of intelligence officers are unvaccinated. Where does this go? What does this mean? Well a couple of points to begin with. First of all, when you work for the intelligence community, you

give up a little bit of your personal freedom. You are subjected to what are intrusive security background investigation polygraphs. If you work for the CIA, as I did, and also you are required to be medically cleared, that means getting a lot of shots before you go overseas. All of that is something we understand its a privilege and honor to serve our nation, but the idea that were talking about firing, people or suspending them without pay thats just flat out wrong. If somebody doesnt want to get vaccinated and at the CIA, its only three percent of the workforce consider other options, maybe administrative leave or ask them to be tested every day and wear a mask. There are immunocompromised employees in the intelligence community, so you want the keep the mission and our people safe and you cant telework in the ic. You have to show up because we deal with classified my gosh. There has got to be better ways to solve this one than what we are talking about. Pete. We keep saying that there has to be better ways when the religion of vaccines

and the mandates that are pushed out of Washington D, DOT C rein. There is no room for common sense and people lose their jobs as a result.
