A leading Russiagate investigator is raising expectations for next week’s trial in special counsel John Durham’s investigation looking for misconduct in the FBI‘s Trump-Russia inquiry.
Kash Patel, a former top House Intelligence Committee aide and Trump administration official, made a prediction based on Durham’s claim in court that the alleged source for disgraced former British spy Christopher Steele’s infamous anti-Trump dossier was a paid confidential human source for the FBI.
Durham’s prosecution will “explode” the FBI’s “confidential human source corruption coverup network” being used for, in his view, a “disinformation campaign to the American public,” Patel said in a recent interview on Real America’s Voice.

The Russian defendant has pleaded not guilty, asserting he told the truth when interviewed by the FBI.
