Brian Auten was a key player in Crossfire Hurricane, the counterintelligence investigation based on Steele Dossier
After years of stonewalling, spin, and subversion of truth, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, has finally placed Deep State operative Brian Auten on administrative leave.
Sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Auten was placed on administrative leave last week.

BREAKING: Kash Patel has suspended and removed from HQ C.I. the FBI analyst Brian Auten who rubber-stamped the fake dossier to frame and spy on Trump adviser as a “Russian agent” & who later discounted Hunter Biden laptop evidence as Russian disinformationhttps://t.co/rTk4TNfKug

Auten’s suspension comes after years of public outcry over his corrupt misconduct inside the Bureau, which turned the FBI into an arm of the Democrat Party.
He was a key player in Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s scandalous counterintelligence investigation based on the now-discredited Steele Dossier.
According to the DOJ Inspector General, Auten failed to alert FBI leadership about gaping holes and fabrications in the dossier, yet still aggressively pushed for illegal FISA warrants on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Let’s be clear: this was the FBI spying on a presidential campaign based on false evidence — and Brian Auten was in the thick of it.
