In April 2021, the Brookings Institution publicly confirmed that Special Counsel John Durham had subpoenaed records from the D.C.-based left-wing think tank in December 2020. The friendly reporters at Time magazine framed the subpoena as limited to the decades-old employment record of former Brookings staffer Igor Danchenko.
Last week’s indictment of Danchenko, however, provides a perfect reminder that Brookings was ground zero for the Russia collusion hoax, with many key staff embroiled in the damaging lie that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.
You don’t like to see the Brookings Instiution exposed as ground zero for the Russia collusion hoax?
I was disappointed.
It may as well have been an editorial cartoon, befitting the site name.

Danchenko was a known Russian spy/asset with a drinking problem since 2006.
Now ask yourself how the FBi tries to take out a POTUS on his word.
They had leverage over him and they needed him to get FISA to get them all the surveillance, wiretaps, and Electronic monitoring.
The same FBi that didn’t have the time to look into Hillary and the Clinton project and didn’t charge any of her Peeps that lied to them about the server. We know they lied because it was the FBi texts, the same texts that said they would Stop Trump.

It’s nothing new. I’ve grown more gray awaiting action.

It was only just now that I moused over the very LAST hyperlink in that catcrap site post and realized they’d linked to a Federalist story, which highlights details I’d noted in my own project from several years prior.
Why not just link to the SOURCE???
But the bottom line is “exposing” them after they’ve been repeatedly exposed is a broken record that many here have become a bit hostile to...including me.
No apologies for my frustration at both the sorry site or the snail’s pace of this alleged investigation.

Some enterprising writer will find a book awaiting if he follows the Clinton-Brookings-Department of Defense-al Thani family trail. The below would indicate that Brookings is already trying to avoid its questionable past:
Content from the Brookings Doha Center is now archived. After 14 years of an impactful partnership, Brookings and the Brookings Doha Center are ending their affiliation as the center launches a separate public policy institution based in Qatar. The center will continue its important work under the name the Middle East Council on Global Affairs by the end of 2021”
Qatar funded Brookings. Muslim Brotherhood.
It would have been helpful for you to have given the link to the Federalist article. I look forward to reading it after breakfast.
In April of 1998, the American Spectator published an article entitled "Strobe Talbott: Russia's Man in Washington."
The article reports how Talbott bears a heavy responsibility for the transfer of missile technology from Russia to Iran - an issue he tried to sweep under the rug for more than a year.
The news from Russia is rarely good these days. The KGB is back, albeit with a new name, spying on UN weapons inspectors on behalf of Saddam Hussein while former KGB boss Yevgeniy Primakov leads the charge against the U.S. effort to punish Iraq. In Tehran, Russian state-owned firms are helping the Iranians to develop new missiles that will allow them to threaten U.S. forces and U.S. allies in the Middle East for the first time. In Moscow itself, where Boris Yeltsin's government has a hard time paying "non-essential workers"(such as security guards at nuclear warhead storage depots), the Clinton administration has been providing billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money in military aid, investment credits, and IMF funding, benevolent gestures that have freed up scarce hard currency and allowed the Russians to embark on an astonishing across-the-board modernization of their strategic weapons systems. While the U.S. is dismantling nuclear warheads, submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Russian federation is busy designing and building new ones - arguably, with U.S. funds.
Russia's roguish behavior these days is uncannily reminiscent of Soviet behavior during the Cold War, and critics of the Clinton administration think they know why. "Russia respects strength, consistency, and candor," says Congressman Curt Weldon, a student of Russian history and a Russian speaker. "If they do something wrong, you have to call them on it." Instead, the Clinton administration has consistently turned a blind eye to Russian misdeeds and found excuses for Russian boorishness - sort of like a den mother offering milk and cookies to the neighborhood bully no matter how many times he beats up on Johnny. The architect of our Cub scout policy toward Russia is a former Time magazine journalist who has admitted to a close personal and professional relationship to an alleged top KGB agent during the Cold War - Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.
Allegations that Talbott had been used by the KGB during his journalistic career were briefly aired at his confirmation hearing on Feb. 8, 1994 by Senator Jesse Helms, who was then ranking minority member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And despite Talbott's equivocal answers, they were just as quickly ignored. Except for a single AP wire story, and a subsequent report in the Wall Street Journal (and of course, the Washington Times), not a single mainstream media organization picked up on Helm's queries that Talbott owed his journalistic career at Time magazine to a suspected KGB agent of influence named Victor Louis. Citing U.S. intelligence reports and statements by KGB defectors, Helms asserted that Louis was responsible for leaking the memoirs of former Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev to Talbott in 1969 and for assisting Talbott at critical moments later in his career with inside Kremlin information.
High Profile Disasters
Talbott's past is significant today because he is in charge of U.S. policy toward Russia, which has gone very, very wrong since he took over the brief in the very first month of the Clinton administration.....read more....

Fast Forward to 2016 and we find that Talbott was involved in the Russia Hoax and was complicit in the dissemination of the Steele Dossier.
A fellow Rhodes Scholar named Tom Couser claims in an open letter to Talbott to be disillusioned with what he describes as Talbott's involvement in the genesis of the Russiagate narrative.....his complicity in the dissemination of the Steele dossier, whose subsource, Igor Danchenko, was a Russian national employed by Brookings.

Another individual who appears to be "six degrees from Brookings" is "do it by the book" Susan Rice.
....During his second day of testimony, Steele connected Rice to the dossier research. State official Jonathan Winer and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland set up a meeting with Steele alongside longtime Clinton adviser and Steele’s friend Strobe Talbott.
Steele confirmed Nuland, Winer, and Talbott invited him for a meeting to discuss the dossier research when lawyers asked whether Talbott helped open the doors for a meeting with State officials.
“I think Strobe Talbott had gotten in touch with us much earlier than [October],” Steele said. “I remember taking a phone call from him, your lordship, earlier in the summer in which he said that he was aware that I had. He spoke in fairly cryptic terms, but he was aware that we had material of relevance to the U.S. election.”
“Both National Security Advisor at the time Susan Rice and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who were the key policymakers on Russia, had been colleagues of Mr. Talbott,” Steele said. “And I had, although he didn’t state it explicitly, one or either or both of them had briefed him on the work we had been doing.”
This testimony provides a direct link between the DNC, the Clinton campaign, the Obama White House and Steele’s Russian collusion hoax dossier....read more.....
What connections did he/she have to the Clintons?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks for the info on Soros’ buddy Strobe Talbott.
I have known about Talbott, his Russophile tendencies and his friendship with Bill Clinton for some time, but his role in the Steele Dossier/Russia hoax was new to me until just recently.
The moment I read that the Brookings Institute was also in Durham's crosshairs, I began to do a little digging into the other creatures associated with Brookings and their possible role in the Steele Dossier.
Brookings might turn out to be a goldmine of leads for the Durham investigation.
The New York Post article by Jonathan Turney which echoes this is stellar. And let's not forget Turley is a Democrat, albeit a real (a.k.a. "moderate") one.
Here is the link again.

Strobe Talbott Quotes
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”
