ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A jury has found Russian national Igor Danchenko not guilty on four false statements charges, declining to convict him for the allegations that the main source of British ex-spy Christopher Steele had lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the discredited anti-Trump dossier.
The jury reached their decision on Tuesday after less than two days of deliberations, delivering John Durham another defeat in his long-running investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators, after the special counsel lost another false statements case against a Clinton campaign lawyer in May.
According to Durham’s November 2021 indictment, Danchenko anonymously sourced a fabricated claim about Trump 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort to Charles Dolan, a Clinton ally who spent years, including 2016, doing work for Russian businesses and the Russian government, but in a blow to Durham’s case, the judge threw out that charge before the jury could decide on it.
One charge had been dismissed by the judge last week, and on Tuesday a jury was reached shortly before the end of the day. It has not been announced yet.

Is this what Durham wanted all along?
BINGO!!! Durham is a DEMOCRAT...PERIOD!
I see it as a failure to construct and honest jury, period. IMO, the federal government should be prohibited from bringing charges on and trying people in the District of Columbia. If you’re a DC resident, you’re either black or you work for the federal government or one of its captive contactors.
There was no way he was going to get any guilty verdicts in DC going against the Dem narritive.
Good grief, what a stupid rube Danchenko was. He got boned by Steele and then got outed by Justice in 2020. His credibility is now damaged, regardless of how valuable some in the FBI found him to be. As far as the verdict, Durham’s case went into the weeds on several occasions - how likely is it that a jury is NOT going to tune out the minutiae and inside baseball?
He needs to keep in his lane. He did not, got sucked into a mess and then started to shave the truth on the extent of his involvement with Steele.
The DC area should be renamed OJ. Never will get a conviction of the deep state. maga guilt before they even hear evidence. Sad state of affairs.
Did Durham make a strong case for change of venue?
ALL DEMOCRAT JURY???? or all PSTUPID WOMEN?? OR BOTH??
I seriously doubt he made any case for it at all. IMO, going through the motions.
Yeah....I won’t hold my breath. Nothing is going to happen. Everyone in the world knows the whole Russia, Russia, Russia thing was a huge hoax in order to bring down President Trump. And no one but his supporters cares.
Durhsm is constrained by the fact that his cases must be tried in the District. Convicting any opponent of Trump is as impossible as acquiting a Trump supporter.
Really? A DC jury found not guilty?
A demoncrat world that would return a not guilty verdict even if seen running over Trump supporters.
It’s DC. . .run by animals.
Going after Trump and republicans is allowed.
Going after demoncrats not allowed.

Who believed the DoJ was going to put someone in power that looked under rocks and executed Raids?
Those peeps should review the facts about the DoJ, including their Political Donations
That’s why Strzok’s behavior is repeated by Weissmann, is then repeated by the same group doing the Mar a Lago Raids - because they are rewarded and coveted inside in the Agencies.

“Trust Sessions, Trust Barr, Trust Durham” to (insert proper wording here) it up.
You have a point. It takes a brain to reason.
“Trust Durham!” Croaked the Qballs.
