FBI interviewed Steele's source Danchenko who said the dossier was based on gossip. Hid Danchenko by saying he was an important source and his life could be in danger. McIntyre phrased it this way in later part of thread:
"it would have been a bitter pill for Comey and FBI to swallow, but they would not be the first people to have to confess to an embarrassing mistake. But instead, Comey and FBI doubled down on their lies. They hid Danchenko by making him a CHS."
