The Russiagate special prosecutor has taken on a tough case: indicting Igor Danchenko, the principal sub-source for the discredited “Steele dossier,” which was penned by former British spy Christopher Steele and commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign to smear her GOP rival, Donald Trump, as a Kremlin mole.
The peddling of a false narrative of Trump collusion with Russia was a product of the Clinton campaign and the FBI. Voluminous reports by the Justice Department’s inspector general have demonstrated that the bureau’s hierarchy was seized by anti-Trump animus. The FBI knowingly allowed itself to be fed partisan opposition research that was sensational, salacious, often flat-out ridiculous, but always — because it portrayed Trump as a traitorous lout — too good to check.
Understandably, the more appalled the jury becomes over the FBI’s behavior, the less inclined it may be to convict Danchenko. So there is risk for Durham, who knows the media-Democrat complex is rooting against him.
I believe he’s more prudent than that, though. John Durham is experienced and honorable enough to know that his only chance of prevailing is to show the jury that he is uncovering government misconduct and incompetence, not concealing it. And he knows, no matter what the jury decides about Danchenko, the highest public interest is accountability for the unholy alliance between politics and law enforcement. Kudos to the special counsel for exposing it.

He did lie, and Durham pretty much proved it, but his exposure of the FBI's misconduct reduced his chances to convict Danchenko.
It was actually a brilliant plan by the Russians -- use one of their operatives to accuse themselves of actually trying to help the candidate they were trying to hurt, and vice versa.
They get marxist juries who don;t convict and it’s folks we didn’t know. Only heard of this guy on Monday for first time.
How is McCarthy at all useful?
The right and proper outcome for Andrew McCarthy and the folks at National Review.
Are DC juries to blame? Or was the FBI's obstruction and malfeasance effective in subverting justice? Are the laws inadequate against the gross abuses of power that weaponized the FBI and Department of Justice against Trump?
All those and more are to blame, yet no one seems eager to offer remedies, nor are any remedies evident. One is forced to conclude that the FBI and Department of Justice are irremediably rotten -- and that little if anything will be done about it -- for now at least.
Funny, I thought Durham was tasked to find the predicate for Russia Russia Russia.
Turns out there is no predicate, the FIB and DOJ set out to frame a President, ends justifying the means
Must be a law against that sort of thing....
Sounds like batman cartoon narrative. And yet is is real.
A juror was quoted as saying they didn’t vote to convict because there were “more important things going on the world” than what he did.
Durham may not have been able to get convictions from his DC-area propagandized drones, but the people I want to see convinced and stand up to be counted are those that have sworn oaths to uphold the US Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic.
PDJT set up a Continuity of Government plan that hinged on foreign influence colluding with Democrat politicians exercising seditious actions against a duly elected administration.
I believe that necessary foreign influence trigger will wipe out the gains seen and imagined by the Ds over the last two years. The DOJ/FBI and intel community have absolutely shown their corrupt, biased coverups on behalf of the Ds and falsification of manufacturing of corrupt evidence to be used against the Trump Administration.
It’s necessary for US Military oath keepers to judge the record and put this country on an honest path.

Durham is a Deep State tool. Sternly worded letters don’t matter to anyone.
.
That’s what “one juror” said after the Sussman trial.
In both cases it is nothing but bullsh!t.
They, the jurors, have no conscience, no sense of justice and probably no REFLECTION.
Land of the FREE and the HOME of the Brave.
OH, and OJ was an innocent who would NEVER kill his wife. Golly we all know that.
The jury pool must have finished all those important things, so they had time to convict Bannon.
Kudos to Durham for deflecting and obfuscating the absurd over a long period of time to achieve the desired results of shifting blame back into obscurity for his client The Deep State
It was all al lie, but because the courts have determined no one lied, then it must have truth…
That’s insane if true. Looks like the jury pool was tainted from the get go.
I am appreciative of John Durham for what he was able to do. There was no way that anybody was going to go to prison with the limitations that he had.
Im just glad he got as much truth out as he did.
A military coup would compound the damage. Our best hope is for the public to churn the crooks, first by putting the Republicans in power in Congress, then by the Dems purging their own ranks.
The last slimeball got off because the lead jurist said, “it’s OK to lie to the FBI when we do it.” I wonder if we will hear from any jurists on Danchenko’s jury?
What good is exposing the truth if you won’t be putting the criminals in prison. The RATs keep whining about J6 after those bastards spent 6 years trying to stike a coup against the Trump administration. Somebody on the RAT side should be in prison with the JSixers. Otherwise, there is no justice. NONE. This is just a one party fascist banana republic. NO LAW HERE! Nope! None!
Bull crap. Prosecutors are measured by convictions. We know for a fact that Donald Trump was the victim of a seditious conspiracy to overthrow a duly elected president of the United States. The FBI knew for a fact that the dossier and collusion narrative were false. Where are the prosecutions for perjury on the applications for FISA warrants? Where are the indictments for seditious conspiracy? I don’t know if he’s a deep state operative or not. What I do know is he failed to deliver the goods. He deserves no credit of any kind
