John Durham is peeling the “onion” of FBI corruption, says former Trump adviser and bureau target George Papadopoulos. He has a few interesting things to say about the Igor Danchenko trial.
The Onion of Corruption
Special Counsel John Durham just laid out a whole bunch of facts about the origins of the anti-Trump coup plot. It serves to give the American public an “intimate vantage point into the onion of corruption” at the FBI. Because he’s a Republican Donald Trump supporter, George Papadopoulos went to jail for lying to the FBI.
All the Democrats John Durham keeps trying to prosecute for that get off clean. That’s why George has a particularly informed insight into what’s going on in the Igor Danchenko trial.
The court already tossed one of the five charges against Igor but the jury still gets to deliberate four more. No matter what they decide, the American public is learning an awful lot about the corruption of cancer eating away the bowels of the Federal Bureau of Instigation.

Danchenko is charged with the same thing Papadopoulos was, lying to the FBI. “The FBI went to any extent possible to trample on people’s rights in order to frame Trump and his campaign and then eventually cripple his presidency, and that’s really what this was all about,” Papadopoulos explains.
Bureau supervisory counterintelligence analyst Brian Auten took the stand on Tuesday as the first witness. They could have qualified him as a “corruption” expert but didn’t need to. He testified that “the FBI considered submitting Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications against Papadopoulos, but ultimately did not do so.”
They didn’t, because George wouldn’t cooperate with his own framing. So for that, they charged him with lying to them in prevention of their frame attempt and sent him to jail for a year. The agent who forged emails to get the warrant on Carter Page got off clean.
Not surprised by Auten
Papadopoulos was “not surprised” to hear Auten’s testimony. He had a pretty good idea back in 2018 “that he was being surveilled in some way.” They aren’t exactly subtle. He knew for sure by the “intrusive nature of how the FBI was questioning” him once they approached him directly. The FISA corruption runs deep.
“Unless there was some sort of incredibly scrupulous investigation into my background, my life, my personal life, my work history, they would have had to have used some sort of intrusive measure.”
The FBI preferred using the secret FISA court who was totally oblivious to their corruption and wrapped around their finger. “At that time, the FISA warrants was the one method that everybody was talking about.”

Knowing that it was total fiction, the FBI used Christopher Steele’s dirty dossier anyway. It opened up all the doors and locks they needed in order to get to Donald Trump. They didn’t care if it was true and didn’t want to know that it wasn’t. They just ignored that fact.
Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was found not guilty in June. These trials, Papadopoulos insists, “are giving people insight into how the FBI works.”
As the onion of corruption is peeled down, layer by layer, Durham is “basically showing that the FBI had Danchenko on the payroll, and basically was allowing an FBI informant to lie to them in order to continue to frame Trump.“
