Will John Durham highlight the complicity of the deep state in the Russia-collusion hoax? If not, it might cost him.
Crossfire Hurricane agents never intended to drop their investigation of Donald Trump, and therefore any lies he told the FBI did not affect their decision-making, Igor Danchenko argued in a motion filed on Friday seeking dismissal of the criminal charges pending against him in a Virginia federal court. With the trial set to start next month, Special Counsel John Durham must now decide whether to acknowledge the deep state’s complicity or risk a second acquittal.
Durham charged Danchenko last year with five counts of making false statements to the FBI related to Danchenko’s role as Christopher Steele’s primary sub-source in the fake dossier the Hillary Clinton team peddled to the FBI and the media. According to the indictment, Danchenko lied extensively when he provided Steele with supposed intel, and then later made false representations to the FBI during a series of interviews.
One count of the indictment concerned Danchenko’s denial during an FBI interview on June 15, 2017, of having spoken with “PR Executive-1” about any material contained in the Steele dossier. According to Durham’s team, “PR Executive-1,” who has since been identified as the Clinton and DNC-connected Charles Dolan, Jr., told Danchenko that a “GOP friend” had told him Paul Manafort had been forced to resign from the Trump campaign because of allegations connecting Manafort to Ukraine.
“While Dolan later admitted to the FBI that he had no such ‘GOP friend’ and that he had instead gleaned this information from press reports, Dolan’s fabrication appeared in the Steele dossier.” But according to the indictment, when the FBI asked Danchenko whether he had talked with Dolan about that and other details included in Steele’s reports, Danchenko lied and said he hadn’t.

Durham…..I’ve heard that name somewhere.

I don’t see lying to the FIB as a bad thing.
His plan along was to act like he’s restoring decency and normalcy to the DOJ but I knew it was a scam. Just like I knew barr was a liar when he didn’t prosecute Comey. While most here were saying he’s going after bigger fish. That was just stupid. And it’s stupid thinking Durham wants to actually break up the corruption. They will use this against us. They will say durham found nothing and couldn’t confcit the lowest level person.
Who dat?
One should never have to fear telling the truth.
durham tried to get the conspiracy evidence in the sussman trial
defense was successful in keeping it out
hope he has better luck this time
BTTT
Can Durham use the Sussman evidence again?
D.C. Blacks won’t indict ANY Trump-hater. Period.
‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.’
Margot wrote the second paragraph like TRUMP lied to the FBI....took me 3 readings to figure out it was IGOR LYING to the FBI!
Well, the FBI is making fasle statements all over the place...
Raul is a hero. Period.
He should be given the countries highest civilian award.
“I can’t remember.” Why don’t they say those words?
Perhaps, “I can’t remember at the moment.” would also suffice.
Bump
It was actually a brilliant plan by the Russians -- use one of their operatives to plant a story that they were actually trying to help the candidate they were trying to hurt, and vice versa.
