ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A jury has found Russian national Igor Danchenko not guilty on four false statements charges, declining to convict him for the allegations that the main source of British ex-spy Christopher Steele had lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the discredited anti-Trump dossier.
The jury reached their decision on Tuesday after less than two days of deliberations, delivering John Durham another defeat in his long-running investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators, after the special counsel lost another false statements case against a Clinton campaign lawyer in May.
According to Durham’s November 2021 indictment, Danchenko anonymously sourced a fabricated claim about Trump 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort to Charles Dolan, a Clinton ally who spent years, including 2016, doing work for Russian businesses and the Russian government, but in a blow to Durham’s case, the judge threw out that charge before the jury could decide on it.
One charge had been dismissed by the judge last week, and on Tuesday a jury was reached shortly before the end of the day. It has not been announced yet.

Well, how about that?!?! Like we didn’t see this coming.....
Imagine my shocked face...
you got that right
blue as blue can be
Orange Man Bad!
Dems letting Dems walk free, honestly is ANYONE surprised..I bet the jurors high fived them after wards
Alexandria VA is no different than DC politically. You are never going to convict a democrat or anyone who attacks the right, especially Trump, in the beltway.
maybe some of the new irs can crawl up their collective azzes... /s
He tried to frame Trump, thats all any D.C jury needed to hear for an acquittal.
Durham’s Special Prosecutor ops should have been moved to a U.S. location that would have had jurys not connected to the WAshington D.C. Beltway.
Where is the Lucy football graphic when you need it?
Correct.
Otherwise he’d have started with a change of venue.
Yep, the area is just as rat infested as DC. Durham must know this is so I am convinced he is just there to lose.
.
NO RAIDS!
He asked the Judge to have defendants provide Documents.
Of course, the Judges have gone from Hanging Judges with Trump associates to Defense attorneys.
Durham got what he wanted.
I posted - the Pact was Comey, Strzok, Page, Yates, and Core were off-limits.
Perhaps the jury is the problem? Can there be an impartial jury in Northern Virginia or in the District of Columbia in such a politically charged case?
WE LIVE IN CORRUPT TIMES. THERE IS NO EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW. THIS SHOULD BE A WAKEUP CALL TO ALL PATRIOTS. The jury said they did not want to put him behind bars for this. If he had made up this stuff about Biden he would be in jail long ago or clintoncided. Who the crime is against is important as to the punishment or no punishment.
Fair trials and fair elections are a thing of the past. Hopefully it can be turned around.
HOPING FOR FAIR/HONEST ELECTIONS THIS NOVEMBER.
The fix is still in. Should the FBI WANT to seek prosecution of those who “lie” to them, then this should have been an easy “guilty” verdict. It appears that in some instances, the FBI does not CARE if someone is lying, if it furthers the narrative. But if you have given the “wrong” answer, no matter how fervently you believe you are telling the truth, then it becomes a “process” crime if your testimony does not fit the narrative.
Lavrentiy Beria told Stalin, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”
There is no justice in DC. It’s the same as the Jim Crow south in the 50’s. But with much darker, more fascist, portents for our future.

When a Prosecutor is this meek and years go by with no activity- they are not interested.
Zero Raids Durham was protecting the Deep State. Slow walked it and made sure he drew no interest.
Just as Durham wanted it. He’s playing his role, like the Washington Generals play for the Globetrotters.
