The New York Times continues to cover up government corruption, on April 11 hitting FBI Director Kash Patel for suspending analyst Brian Auten nearly a decade after Auten helped Democrats frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The NYT headline reads, “F.B.I. Suspends Employee on Patel’s So-Called Enemies List,” not something accurate such as “FBI Suspends Employee Who Illegally Abused Government Power To Protect Democrat Presidential Candidates.”
Predictably, other corporate media outlets took the same corrupt angle, notably an April 12 NBC article by “Fusion Ken” Dilanian and Alexandra Marquez.
Dilanian is known as a Democrat propaganda mouthpiece, particularly for spreading lies created by the Hillary Clinton campaign to smear Trump as a Russian asset. Those lies came from probable Russian assets such as Christopher Steele dossier source Igor Danchenko, meaning Clinton and Dilanian may have used actual Russian propaganda to falsely accuse their political enemies of … spreading Russian propaganda. Dilanian once described the now widely discredited Steele, whom the FBI paid for information, as “James Bond.”
The Clinton campaign paid Steele to fabricate lies about Trump in a “dossier” that Democrat operatives in the government helped launder through U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, including the FBI. Auten was the top FBI “analyst” assigned to verify the dossier. His team, he testified to Congress in 2020, could not verify any of its salacious allegations that included the infamous “golden showers” nonsense.
So Auten knew the “dossier” was full of lies as early as 2017. Yet Auten’s “Crossfire Hurricane” FBI team still used the unverifiable, false material to back secret warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, fueling further leaks of false information that saddled Trump’s first term with investigations and clouds of public suspicion.
A December 2019 inspector general report found Auten pushing the use of the dossier he knew to be unverified to obtain a surveillance warrant on the Trump campaign. According to the report, Auten, identified as “Supervisory Intelligence Analyst,” helped spread the unverified “dossier” to other top U.S. agencies, including the CIA, NSA, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the White House.
“According to the Supervisory Intelligence Analyst (Supervisory Intel Analyst) [Brian Auten], the team had not corroborated the reporting concerning Carter Page’s activities by the time of [spy warrant] Renewal Application No. 1 (or subsequent renewal applications), other than confirming Carter Page’s travel to Russia in July 2016,” the IG report states.
In a world in which inspectors general more often act to cover up agency misconduct rather than resolve it, the IG publicly confirmed multiple ethical and procedural lapses by Auten and his FBI team. The IG dinged Auten and his team for using information they knew was unreliable to obtain secret surveillance warrants, using the FBI for political purposes instead of legitimate law enforcement purposes, withholding evidence about Steele’s unreliability from other intelligence agencies, not investigating leaks of sensitive information, and ignoring obvious conflicts of interest and ethics checks regarding Steele’s claims.
“Our review found that FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement in FBI policy that they ensure that all factual statements in a FISA application are ‘scrupulously accurate,’” the report says. “We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed.”
All this ought to be enough to fire Auten from federal employment and relieve him of any law enforcement duties forever. Other career agents testified to Congress that Auten and his team likely committed multiple federal crimes worthy of prosecution, including perjury and fraud. Yet he remained in an FBI position senior enough to also help fix the Hunter Biden laptop scandal for Democrats’ next presidential candidate, Joe Biden.
While the IG was preparing that report, Auten used FBI resources to find any tips coming to FBI offices around the country about the Biden family corruption ring, and to dirty up those more than 40 whistleblowing sources with false accusations they were “foreign disinformation,” according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
This was the same false claim intelligence agencies used to pressure social media monopolies into mass censorship of information that does not boost spy agency propaganda schemes, such as Russiagate, including public knowledge of Hunter Biden’s laptop. The laptop provided reams of evidence that the Biden family traded political favors to foreigners in exchange for millions.
The utterly amazing thing is the FBI continued to employ Auten for more than five years after the public disclosure of potential crimes he committed on its payroll, not that Patel decided to put a maliciously partisan, likely criminal FBI employee on leave!
Yet the same NYT that helped the FBI and other intelligence agencies lie to Americans about Spygate, Biden corruption, and numerous other items of public importance clownishly claims in its April 11 article that “The reasons for the suspension [of Brian Auten] remain unclear.” It further alleges Auten’s suspension is political retaliation rather than the potential beginnings of bringing justice to those who dangerously sought to turn the United States into an intelligence dictatorship.
The reporter bylining this article, Adam Goldman, is a Times national security reporter who “has been a journalist for more than two decades.” He cannot not know all of this background or he wouldn’t have this job, and he still wrote a ridiculously idiotic story claiming Auten’s firing is only explainable by political retribution.
This means Goldman is a paid shill for the world’s worst people, not a reporter of any kind. He’s not just a hack; he has no morals at all. New York Times, delenda est.
