The FBI did not tell the Gang of Eight that Danchenko was working for Steele and did not really have any sources inside the Kremlin, according to the script prepared for Comey, which was recently declassified as part of pre-trial discovery in Special Counsel John Durham's probe. The FBI also concealed Steele's identity and the fact he was working for the Clinton campaign.
Adding to the deception, Comey referred to the unnamed informant by the codename "CROWN," making it appear as if Steele's dossier was a product of British intelligence, although Steele had not worked for the British government for several years and was reporting entirely in a private capacity. According to the talking-points memo, Comey also withheld from Congress the fact that Steele had been fired by the FBI for leaking information to the media. Instead of sharing that critical information about his reliability and credibility โ to say nothing of his political and financial motivations โ Comey hid the truth about his star informant from the nation's top lawmakers.
"If asked about CROWN/Steele" during the briefing, the memo anticipated, Comey was to tell lawmakers only that "CROWN, a former FBI CHS, is a former friendly foreign intelligence service employee who reported for about three years, and some of whose reporting has been corroborated."
Meanwhile, FBI headquarters officials were duping the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in similar fashion in order to continue to obtain warrants to spy on Carter Page. They led judges on the secret surveillance court to believe Danchenko was "Russian-based" โ and therefore presumably more credible.
Russians will want Nord Stream 2 revived if supplies on existing lines fall and they will. Germany says Siemens has sent Gazprom turbines to Canada where they got caught in sanctions. What really must have happened is Canada is unable to repair and neither can Germany repair them. They need Gazprom's help.
Someone at Zerohedge wrote recently that Russians are well-known for their elaborate chessplay and that they are not going to wait until Western Europe fills their gas reserves with Russian gas now, switch to other suppliers (when new pipelines are completed) and then cut off Russia completely. That is precisely is what is happening now.
