Trump-Russia Hoax: Igor Danchenko’s Trial 101

Posted by FactReal on October 17, 2022

LEARNING MORE FACTS ABOUT THE FALSE TRUMP-RUSSIA-COLLUSION.
HERE ARE THE BASICS:

The latest: The Trial of Igor Danchenko, Christopher Steele’s source for his dirty dossier against then-candidate Trump.
Why is this important? We are learning more how government employees (FBI, DOJ) worked with a political party (the Democrats) to destroy their political opponents, i.e., Trump and his allies.

Most probably, the Democrats and government employees who participated in this scam will get away with it, but at least Americans are going to know how they did it.

Great summary of the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax:
Durham’s FBI Indictment: (Reported on Oct. 13, 2022)
By Kimberley A. Strassel

Highlights of Strassel’s report:
– The Igor Danchenko trial is to put, unofficially, the FBI on trial “for incompetence and political chicanery.”
– FBI started with a hearsay: “The FBI commenced its ugly path on July 31, 2016, when it opened its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into whether Mr. Trump’s campaign was colluding with Russia—based on uninformed hearsay from a low-level aide named George Papadopoulos.”
– Then the FBI “received” the dirty dossier “from British former spy Christopher Steele … containing allegations so surreal as to defy logic.”
– Did the FBI try to bribe Steele?: “[I]n early October 2016…[the FBI] had been unable to verify a single dossier claim (and never would)…[The FBI] took the astonishing step of offering Mr. Steele “up to $1 million” in taxpayer dollars to legitimize his own information. (Usually, the FBI pays another party to verify a source report.)”
– Connection to Hillary Clinton: “Mr. Steele was in the employ of opposition-research firm Fusion GPS, itself paid by the Clinton campaign…”
– Danchenko debunks the Steele dossier in January 2017: “He said Mr. Steele had misstated or exaggerated many of his statements, that he had no proof of the claims, and that it was “hearsay[.]”
– The FBI doesn’t care & continues to target Trump allies: “The FBI kept quiet that its source had debunked his own work product—and instead used dossier info to renew the Page surveillance warrant three more times. It rewarded Mr. Danchenko in March 2017 by putting him on the payroll as a confidential human source, where he stayed until October of 2020.”
– FBI dir. Comey uses the debunked dossier: “Even as its dossier went up in flames in early 2017, former FBI Director James Comey schemed for the media to publish the document.”
– The FBI used it to entrap Michael Flynn, to pressure then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, to get the Robert Mueller witch hunt probe against Trump — “a probe that in retrospect looks to have been launched to whitewash the FBI’s actions.”

Hillary Clinton connection
Early in the year, we learned that Hillary Clinton personally approved to give to the media the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, according to Robby Mook, Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager, as he testified in the trial of Michael Sussmann.

Key Players in the Danchenko Trial:
Igor Danchenko:
– Charged with 5 counts of making false statements to the FBI
– 2017-2020: The FBI paid more than $200K to serve as a confidential human source

Charles Dolan:
– A longtime Democrat operative and ally of Hillary Clinton
– FBI agents testified Dolan had connections to Putin’s press secretary

Christopher Steele:
– Former British intel officer
– 2016: Opposition research on Donald Trump
– 2019: Mueller Report cast doubt on Dossier claims

Mark Levin calls it a bribe: FBI offered Christopher Steele $1M to prove claims he made in his dossier against former President Donald Trump, according to Durham

I thought it was a bribe. I thought they [the FBI] offered him $1M to do what they [FBI] know it couldn’t be done to provide support for a document that was paid for by the Democrat party – the highest echelons of the FBI, the DNC lawyers, the Clinton lawyers – they’re all were working together. They were leaking this stuff [the dossier] to the media. They were using it to commit crimes in front of the FISA court. This is the greatest dirty trick in the American political history

The Mueller witch hunt was designed to cover this up (Oct 16, 2022)
Update 10/18/2022:
Fox News @4:28PM ET reported: Igor Danchenko found not guilty on all 4 counts. No surprise here. Now we wait for the Durham report.
