The Fake Dossier
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffesaid he expects special counsel John Durham’s team to indict more suspects in connection to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe and the discredited Steele dossier.
Last week, a grand jury empaneled by Durham indicted Russia analyst Igor Danchenko, who previously worked for the left-leaning Brookings Institution, for allegedly lying to the FBI. Danchenko had been the main source for the dossier created by former UK spy Christopher Steele that was, in turn, used by the FBI during its inquiry into whether the 2016 campaign of Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
“When I became the director of national intelligence, I said, ‘Listen, I want to see all of the intelligence about this supposed Russian collusion,’ Ratcliffe said during a Fox Business interview on Sunday. “What I found was, and as you’re finding out, is there was, of course, no Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but what I did see in your intelligence documents, some of which I’ve now declassified, that there was collusion involving the Clinton campaign and Russians to create a dossier.”
Numerous documents that Ratcliffe said he had provided to Durham are being used in the special counsel’s investigation, he said.
Numerous claims pushed in the dossier turned out to be false, triggering congressional, inspector general, and criminal investigations as to why it was used as the basis of a FISA court order to conduct surveillance of a then-Trump campaign aide.
Those who were involved in the construction of the dossier, as well as individuals who promoted it “falsely, would be in jeopardy,” Ratcliffe claimed. “I know that that’s what John Durham is looking at, and as I talked about, this goes to the highest levels of our government and government agencies involved,” he added.
“I continue to think there will be many indictments based on the intelligence that I gave to John Durham and that I have seen,” he continued.
Durham’s team also indicted former Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann, alleging he lied when he told former FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016 that he was not representing a client when he provided Baker with a now-debunked claim that the Trump Organization was communicating electronically with a Russian bank.
Following his arrest on Nov. 4, a lawyer representing Danchenko attempted to enter a plea of not guilty but a judge said it was premature, according to reports. Danchenko’s lawyers haven’t responded to a request for comment and have not issued any public statements regarding their client.

Gatorwire update on AR-15
Anthony Richardson left the game against Georgiaearly after an apparent injury, but no update was given by head coach Dan Mullen after the game. On Tuesday, Mullen told the Orlando Sentinel that Richardson had yet to practice this week after sustaining a concussion.
Richardson was in the middle of his first career start at the college level when Georgia linebacker Adam Anderson delivered the blow. Emory Jones came in for Richardson and led Florida to its first score of the day. The injury has Richardson questionable for Saturday’s contest against South Carolina.
The timing of Richardson’s injury couldn’t be worse. He wasn’t expected to right the ship immediately against the best defense in the country, but he’s now missing valuable reps needed to take the next step. There are far worse options than Jones at quarterback, but Florida’s turnover margin is still -7 with him as the starter this year.
The good news for Florida is that the schedule should get easier from here on out. There are no more Georgias or Alabamas on the schedule, and Florida should be able to breeze through the next three games regardless of who’s throwing the ball for them.

Home security is a booming business, with set-ups that go into thousands of dollars. If you’re not ready to dive in, you can get a taste of it with a device you already have: your Echo Show.
A new feature lets you keep an eye on things in a simpler way, via the camera on your device. It’s not as advanced as a dedicated security camera, but it’s a great feature for people who want to use it occasionally. Setup needs to be done on the device itself, not via the app. Here’s how it works.

Very interesting proposal…
Congressional Reform Act of 2022
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/22. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.
