Special Counsel 71-year-old Atty. John Durham indicted his third suspect in his investigation into the origin of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of 75-year-old former President Donald Trump. Durham indicted former Brookings Institution analyst Russian-born Igor Danchenko, a source of salacious material to former MI6 agent Christopher Steele’s Dossier. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton bought-and-paid through law firm Perkins Cole and opposition research firm FusionGPS the so-called Steele Dossier that linked Trump to the Russian government in his 2016 campaign for president. Democrats and their friends in the media supported the wild ideas from the Steele Dossier that Trump was a Russian asset, working with the Kremlin to win the 2016 presidential election. Hillary blamed her loss to Trump Nov. 3, 2016, among other things, on Trump’s ties to Russia.
Danchenko told the FBI in 2017 that Trump was a Russian asset, prompting the FBI to open up a counterintelligence investigation, including going to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] Court to obtain warrants to wiretap former Trump campaign aid Carter Page. Durham already indicted and convicted former FBI Atty. Kevin Clinesmith to altering an email that omitted the fact that Page worked for the CIA. Had the FISA Court known that Page was a CIA asset, they would not have issued a warrant to the FBI to wiretap him. FBI “devoted substantial resources attempting to investigate and corroborate the allegations” in the dossier. Danchenko failed to tell FBI agents that he worked for a public relations executive with close ties to the Hillary campaign. Durham’s indictment said Daschenko’s subterfuge sent the FBI down a endless rabbit hole.
Danchenko’s allegation involved unverified activity by Trump with alleged prostitutes in 2015 in an unidentified Moscow hotel. Durham’s indictment alleges that Danchenko told the FBI “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” between Trump and the Russian government. Durham contends that Danchenko’s accounts were pure fabrications, not based on any unverified phone calls from secret sources. Democrats and the press accuse Durham of political bias, when, in fact, he’s trying to expose one of the egregious government conspiracies in U.S. history. Why was 61-year-old former FBI Director James Comey opening a counterintelligence investigation of Trump and his 2016 campaign when it was based on the now discredited Steele Dossier, something Hillary used as opposition research to defeat Trump in 2016? Danchenko was caught by Durham feeding the FBI utter rubbish.
Even today, Democrats and the fake news media continue to believe that the case against former President Trump with his alleged Russian ties. “But the dossier had no part in launching the Trump-Russia investigation,” said the Associated Press today, in a shameless distortion of the facts. Former FBI Director James Comey and Special Counsel Robert Mueller relied heavily on the wild, unverified and manipulated claims made in the Steele Dossier. Fake news must continue the deception about the Steele Dossier to justify years of fake reporting all to harm Trump politically. Yet know that Durham’s exposing one of the most shameful conspiracies in U.S. history, Democrats and the fake new continue the deception. Durham’s indictment traces Danchenko to a hotel room where a Hillary political operative fed him the rubbish about Trump peeing on prostitutes in a hotel room.
Danchenko told the FBI he met with the president of the Russian-American chamber of commerce who fed him the information about Trump. Danchenko knew that he received his rubbish from a Hillary political operative. When you consider that Steele himself admitted in a court proceeding in London that all sources to his dossier were destroyed, it left little doubt that the entire document was fabricated for purely political purposes. Democrats and the media hang on to the rubbish because they used it for all of Trump’s years in office to prove he wasn’t fit for a second term. Now they’re coming to grips with years or deception and lies, all done for politics. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz told the FBI in 2017 that the Dossier had “potentially serious problems with Steele’s descriptions of information in his reports.” That didn’t stop Democrats and the media from repeating the lies.
Durham’s hard work looks like it’s paying off with former Justice Department Atty. Michael Sussman indicted for failing to tell the FBI that he worked for Perkins Cole the Washington law firm Hillary used to promote the Steele Dossier. Sussmann told the FBI that Trump had a secret server tied to Russia’s Alfa Bank, failing to mention he worked for the Hillary campaign. Durham’s current indictments indicate that he’s getting closer to indicting the ‘big boys,” including Comey and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, both of whom were actively involved in getting warrants from the FISA Court to wiretap Trump’s campaign associates. Whether Durham fingers former Obama administration officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan or former National Security Adviser Susan Rice is anyone’s guess. With every indictment, Durham gets closer to unwrapping the conspiracy.
