Shortly before the 2016 election, the FBI offered retired British spy Christopher Steele “up to $1 million” to prove the explosive allegations in his dossier about Donald Trump, a senior FBI analyst testified Tuesday.
The cash offer was made during an October 2016 meeting between Steele and several top FBI officials who were trying to corroborate Steele’s claims that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia to win the election.
FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten testified that Steele never got the money because he could not “prove the allegations.”

It was all garbage, and they knew it was garbage prior to the 2016 election.

He "turned it down" because he wasn't able to corroborate anything in it. The other big lie out of this is that the FBI didn't use the Dossier as a predicate to start the crossfire Hurricane investigation. They did use it and the FBI got involved in the 2016 election just like they did in the 2020 election. Obama has completely corrupted the executive branch.
