A Russian analyst who played a major role in the creation of a flawed dossier about former President Donald Trump fabricated one of his own sources and concealed the identity of another when interviewed by the FBI, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The allegations were aired during opening statements in the trial of Igor Danchenko, who is indicted on five counts of making false statements to the FBI.
The FBI interviewed Danchenko on multiple occasions in 2017 as it tried to corroborate allegations in what became known as the "Steele dossier."
That dossier by British spy Christopher Steele — commissioned by Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign — included allegations of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials, as well as allegations that the Russians may have held compromising information over Trump in the form of videos showing him engaged in salacious sexual activity in a Moscow hotel.
Specifically, prosecutors say, Danchenko lied when he said he obtained some information in an anonymous phone call from a man he believed to be Sergei Millian, a former head of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
Prosecutor Michael Keilty told jurors in U.S. District Court in Alexandria that Danchenko never spoke with Millian and that phone records show he never received an anonymous phone call at the time Danchenko claimed it occurred.
Prosecutors also say Danchenko lied when he said he never "talked" with a man named Charles Dolan about the allegations contained in the dossier. But prosecutors say there is evidence that Danchenko "spoke with Mr. Dolan over email" about very specific items that showed up in the dossier.

Depends on what the meaning of the word talked, talked.
It was a high-level coup

The sentence for treason is hanging
Think about that good, long, and hard.
I don’t know how an FBI agent would be authorized to do this.
But flip it around. Think about Seth Rich’s family. What are the odds that the FBI approached his parents and said, “You have other children. You want them to be safe. And, oh by the way, here are a couple million dollars. Yeah, we hand out cash like this to our friends all the time. But you have to stick to the script whenever you say anything about Seth, okay? He’s not coming back, so make the smart choice.”

Face it. The FBI has been transformed into a corrupt, decadent, coercive, political police organization.
Please don’t tell my Mom I work for the FBI!
She thinks I have an honest job playing piano at the Whorehouse in town.
Isn’t this something that oppo research does?
The Democrat’s Gestapo
They should pay the same for the dirt on Biden. People are offering it for free and they don’t do anything about it.
Don’t forget about the late John McCain’s role in this.
Hey FBI, piece of advice.... when you are in a hole, STOP DIGGING.
Disband the FIB; they have become dangerous like the Gestapo.....
It’s hard to believe anyone is that clean.
Hats off to President Donald Trump.
A million FBI Bucks. Wow, they must have really wanted to take Trump down.
“The sentence for treason is hanging”
Half hang, drawn and quartered.
Well, since there will be so many of them, perhaps we can have a contest among the perps to see who can be waterboarded the most times before dying. Take the proceeds from the executions and use the money to bolster Soc. Security funds.
There ya go. That and how about we have a good ol fashion Turkey shoot?
Three shots for a dollar and if you hit one you get an extra free shot. 22 shorts at 50 yards. Cheaper and after wounding chop the GD head off.
