And that was only some of yesterday's fun. First, as the Democrats celebrated
the passage of the Whip Inflation Now Inflation Reduction

and the market tanked. Thanks Brandon! Capt. Ed at Haut Hair, BREAKING: Bidenflation still roaring as CPI hits 8.3%, core CPI near high

In another interesting bit of news, a filing from John Durham revealed that
Igor Danchenko, the Russian national employed by the liberal think tank, the
Brookings Institute, who was paid by the Hillary campaign to make up stories
about Donald Trump that became the basis for the "Steele Dossier", and soon to
go on trial for lying to the FBI, was also sucked up by the FBI during the the
Crossfire Hurricane investigation as a paid confidential informant. I'm trying
to fully grasp the implications, but it seems likely it was done to protect
the viability of the FISA warrants against Carter Page. Techno Fog has
the story,
Durham shocker: Danchenko was a paid FBI informant
The purposes of making Danchenko a CHS should be quite clear. The Crossfire Hurricane investigation was plagued with problems from the outset. The reasons for opening the investigation were bunk. Those problems continued as the investigation went on, with claims of Trump/Russia collusion proven unverified or outright false. (Thus the targeting of Flynn for a Logan Act violation.)
That developed into the Carter Page FISA applications, first submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in October 2016, and which relied substantially on the Steele Dossiers (aka Steele Reports). The FISA applications were renewed three times - more on that later. Each application had its own problems, from FBI lawyers lying about Carter Page to the Court being generally misled.
Realizing its own misconduct, the FBI made Danchenko a paid CHS in March 2017 - just before the third FISA warrant was submitted in April 2017. This would allow Comey’s FBI to work directly with Danchenko in support of its counter-intelligence investigation against President Trump.
Danchenko being a CHS also served another purpose: it protected the Bureau and the Mueller Special Counsel from revealing their “sources and methods.” How do you hide misconduct? Bury the witness.
Capt. Ed, Wait -- the Steele Dossier's discredited source became a paid FBI
informant?

connected more dots at Just the News
later in the evening off of Durham’s revelation:
The revelation means that the FBI first fired former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, the author of the Hillary Clinton-funded dossier, as a human source in November 2016 for having unauthorized contacts with the news media. And it then turned around a few months later and hired Steele’s primary informer to work with the bureau even after determining some of Danchenko’s statements in the Steele dossier were uncorroborated or exaggerated.Twitchy, ‘MORE Russian connections to Clinton Campaign’: Margot Cleveland’s thread with latest update from Durham another DAMNING must-read. In The Machiavellian Intent of John Durham Surfaces inside His Court Filing, Outlining the FBI Hiring of Igor Danchenko as Confidential Informant, Sundance is suspicious "The bottom line is an ongoing DC operation to preserve the institutional credibility of the justice system. A credibility, which is – at this point, entirely destroyed – yet the effort continues." Also, Flashback, July 24, 2019, Robert Mueller “Not in My Purview”.
In another headline story, from Nick Arama at Red State Tucker Reveals FBI Just Raided Mike Lindell, the Pillow Guy. The Independent,
Pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell says the FBI seized his phone at
fast food restaurant, "The My Pillow CEO has been a staunch ally of the former president."

Margot Cleveland at Da Fed, Biden’s DOJ Doesn’t Want To Disclose ‘Classified’ Mar-A-Lago
Documents—Except Through Selective Leaks To Leftist Media. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 09.12.22 Clarice Feldman at Am Think thinks
The DoJ Argues that the Intelligence Community Overrides the Judiciary
Why is the DoJ so desperate to prevent a Special Master, even one with security clearance, to view those documents the department asserts are classified? (The parties each have offered two candidates for the position, one of Trump’s candidates, in fact, sat on the FISA court. Is he less certain to do this job properly than the National Archivist?) There are several possible explanations for the desperation I can think of -- none of which do credit to the attorney general. The first and most common supposition is that the documents which they claim must be kept even from the eyes of the Special Master relate to the FBI and DoJ’s role in fashioning and perpetrating the phony Russian Collusion fairytale. That would be damning indeed, and frankly, I see it as the most likely explanation: It is improper to classify documents simply to prevent embarrassment to persons or agencies. And anyone who does this is subject to sanctions. Obama’s Executive Order 13526 reads in relevant part:
Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations. (a) In no case shall
information be classified, continue to be maintained as classified, or fail
to be declassified in order to:(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
(3) restrain competition; or
(4) prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interest of the national security.
Jed Babbin at Am Spec, Trump and the Secret Documents, "Whatever they amount to, FBI raids and likely indictments of the former president are political actions as bogus as the efforts to impeach him." Vicky Taft at PJ Media, thinks Trump's Choice for Mar-a-Lago Raid Special Master May Be Brilliant…or Disastrous. The New Neo, Trump’s lawyers file a response about the Special Master.
