Kash Patel, former senior Trump administration official and lead investigator exposing Russiagate, said U.S. Attorney John Durham’s recent indictment of Russian Igor Danchenko suggests he is building a larger conspiracy case.
“I think he’s building a bigger conspiracy case, and it’s just going to take time and that’s where he’s going,” Patel said on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday with host Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle.
“John Durham’s working hard. He’s only been at for two-plus years. When I was a federal prosecutor, I spent 3, 4, 5 years building some prosecutions, so it takes time, but I think we are heading in the right direction,” he added.
Durham last week issued an indictment for five counts of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against Igor Danchenko, a Russian researcher who worked at the Brookings Institution in Washington and provided the most salacious lies for the “pee dossier.”
Patel found while working as the lead investigator that the Hillary Clinton campaign had paid for the dossier, which was put together by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and ex-British spy Christopher Steele and then funneled into the Obama Justice Department and FBI and used to get a secret surveillance warrant on the Trump campaign.
The indictment also found that Danchenko, who worked from 2005-10 with Democratic policy luminaries at the Brookings Institution, also worked with a longtime Bill Clinton operative Charles Dolan Jr., referred to as “PR Executive-1″ in the indictment. Dolan’s lawyer confirmed that he was “PR Executive-1.”
As previously reported by Breitbart News, 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.

And this will drag on another 3 years and outing significant will happen.
Conservate Treehouse has good speculation similar to yours. Durham will cabin his adventure so as to not directly hit the government or anybody who worked in it.
My point of view is that this outcome - no crime by the government - is a natural artifcat of the way criminal law is written. The government has never made it a crome for the government to lie to or act against the poeple in general. Only 1984 actions (deprivation of civil rights) have a criminal element. The crimes of snooping without a warrant are illusory - prosection is never going to happen, the law is to fool the public that the government is restrained by the law. Whatever the restarint, the remedies are limited, and none of them amount to harming a government actor.
All that said, I think that sunlight is by and large a good thing, and better for the people to wake up and realize the government is opposed to personal freedom and independence. This too is the natural order of things. But it’s good and right for the people to view the government as hostile - because it is. That way,m the people will keep the government smaller and on a shorter leash.
Finally, I think globalism is inevitable. It’s biblical prophesy. Keep your eyes on the hereafter. Does a man no good to set the world straight but lose his soul.
Those Russian acquaintances then allegedly provided some information Danchenko gave to Steele.
Some of which he invented out of thin air...
Whatever
