Attorney Ralph Martin confirmed Thursday that his client, DC-based communications executive Charles Dolan, Jr., is the person referred to as “PR Executive-1” in Special Counsel John Durham’s indictment of researcher Igor Danchenko.
... Durham indicted the Russian-born, U.S.-based Danchenko on five counts of lying to the FBI in connection with his role as a major source for Christopher Steele’s fraudulent “Russia dossier” on Donald Trump.
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid the Fusion GPS opposition research firm, which hired Steele, to prepare the dossier and then provided it to the FBI. It became a basis for the “Russia collusion” investigation.
Danchenko, who worked from 2005-10 with Democratic policy luminaries at the Brookings Institution, also worked with “PR Executive-1,” according to the indictment. Martin confirmed to CNBC that “PR Executive-1” is, in fact, Dolan.
CNBC noted that Dolan, a vice president at the KGlobal communications firm, also has a history of involvement with the Clintons, chairing Bill Clinton’s campaign in Virginia in both 1992 and 1996. His PR work includes Russia-related issues.
Durham’s indictment suggests that Dolan introduced Danchenko to his Russian acquaintances, as Danchenko was reporting information to Steele. Those Russian acquaintances then allegedly provided some information Danchenko gave to Steele.
Moreover, Dolan had extensive contacts in the Russian government, met with officials at the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C., in 2016 and traveled to Moscow with Danchenko that year.
Ironically, the Clinton campaign would then accuse Trump of “collusion” with Russia, even though neither he nor his aides had such contacts in Russia.
According to the indictment, Dolan claimed that the Clinton campaign was unaware of his contacts with Danchenko and Russia. But “PR Executive-1” gave a Russian contact an autobiography of Hillary Clinton, which he signed: “To my good friend … A Great Democrat.”

As one FReeper put it this morning:
This story has legs!............................
I was trying to look him up...but I couldn’t find him. I was a CATV “Executive” (on a regional basis, not national) and all of the “Owners” tended to be Libs. It would not shock me if it was him.
[singing] get ready, 'coz here I come...
I'll bet he does.
Regretfully, there are still plenty of those "good friends across the aisle" around. Maybe when they get to GITMO they can pal around better without more Trump people watching?
They should be shot.
Confirmed Dolan is a Democrat stooge from Massachusetts. UMass class of 74. He was a coat holder for state senator Joe “the ran like rats” Early.
I just knew the dirty trick scumbag would be from Massachusetts. This state is infested.
Wrong Charles Dolan.
No relation

Dolan has been fortunate to find mentors in the public policy field throughout this career, including Bill Rourke, who was the top aide to Congressman Harold Donohue, and his successor Joseph D. Early. “I have never forgotten [Early’s] advice that you never learn anything by listening to yourself talk,” Dolan reflects.
Dolan’s current mentor is the distinguished diplomat and scholar Dr. Walter Roberts. “When I was appointed to the Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy by President William Jefferson Clinton, my turn to speak came after Walter’s because of seniority rules,” he says. “For the first year, I always said ‘Walter has pretty much summed up my thoughts on this issue.’ And indeed he did.”
Yes.. someone was asking if he was the Cablevision founders son. I could finds nothing to say that he was.
James Dolan’s (Cablevision/MSG) dad is Chuck, so he’s not a Jr.
He’s been a Clintonista going back to 1992. He was VA State Chairman for Bill in the ‘92 and ‘96 elections. Obviously he is either a target or witness for Durham at this point. He must know where a lot of bodies are buried...
As I said yesterday, I think the deep state/DOJ/FBI/CIA are willing to sacrifice the Clintons to insulate themselves from Russia-gate.
Thanks. His mentor Roberts (now deceased) looks like he was a member of the FDR-era “Oh So Socialist” club:
Dr. Walter R. Roberts (1916-2014) was a diplomat and a foreign policy and public affairs expert with a distinguished career in the U.S. Foreign Service and the former U.S. Information Agency.
Early years of service
Born in 1916 in Austria, Dr. Roberts attended the University of Vienna and obtained his doctorate degree from Cambridge University. Upon doing a research assistantship at The Harvard Law School, Dr. Roberts joined the U.S. government as a Coordinator of Information in 1942. After eight years of service with the Voice of America, he was transferred to the Austrian Desk of the State Department where he contributed to the American delegation for the Austrian Treaty Talks held in Vienna on May 15, 1955.
His career in the United States Foreign Service began in 1960, when he was appointed Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. In 1967, he was transferred to Geneva, Switzerland to serve as Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. mission to the United Nations. In 1969, he returned to the U.S. with an appointment to the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) as Deputy Associate Director. He was promoted to Associate Director of USIA in 1971.
Meeting Tito, back to government
In addition to years of government service, Roberts was an accomplished writer and academic. In 1973, he published Tito, Mihailovic and the Allies, 1941-1945, which was described as “the best book on the subject” by Foreign Affairs magazine. Upon retiring from government in 1974, he served as Director of Diplomatic Studies at Georgetown University’s Center for Strategic and International Studies. In 1975, he was called back to government service to head the Board for International Broadcasting, later dissolved and replaced by the Broadcasting Board of Governors, to oversee Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (RFE/RL).
Later years
He retired again in 1985 and returned to academia as a Diplomat in Residence at The George Washington University, where he taught courses on diplomacy for 10 years. In 1991, he was appointed by President George H.W. Bush as a member of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy and reappointed in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.
In 2001, with the help of Steven Livingston, professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University, Roberts established the Public Diplomacy Institute at GW, which later became the Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication.
In 2005, Roberts generously created an endowment in his name to support the Institute’s activities and programming.
Thanks, very interesting info on PRexecutive1
Hmmm, seems to be a gap in his history around the time of the 2000 election Gore War
Bump
U of Limerick? Ireland, one of Clinton’s favorite destinations?
“Dolan also pretended that Republican sources were feeding info to him...”
Chuck “pretended Republican sources were feeding info to him...”
The old “everybody does it” refuge from scrutiny.
