Igor Danchenko trial: Anti-Trump dossier source found not guilty in Russia investigation trial
Washington Examiner ^ | 10-18-22 | Jerry Dunleavy

Posted on 10/18/2022 1:38:53 PM PDT by Revel

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.

It would be interesting to hear the jury’s reasoning.

Orange Man Bad.

No justice.
No peace.

Right?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this jury was rigged. The Deep State must maintain its innocence!

There might be a slight possibility that the jury wasn’t pro trump.

Note to Republicans. Never bring a case against Democrats in DC or Northern Virginia. You will never find a jury that will convict. In that respect, they are the ultimate OJ jury. You can lead that horse to water but they will pee in it and then kick you in the sac.

This is what happens when leftists succeed in burrowing their way into every facet of government. To succeed in prosecuting the deep state, you have to first get deep state actors to cooperate in investigating themselves and/or their organizations, and then you have to convince them to allow themselves to be prosecuted and convicted. Never going to happen.

Which is why the Second Amendment is about firearms and not lawfare.

“Unexpected.”

No, it isn’t.

However, if the mark had been Obama instead of Trump, the guy would have been convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Equal justice under the law is a great concept. Unfortunately, in large part it has withered on the vine since the Dems gave up on getting their way via legislation and discovered that perverting the courts is much easier and much cheaper.

Just check out Glenn Beck’s interview of Tara Reade.

It is downright horrifying what the DNC did to that woman.

Ditto. I know the sinking feeling of watching America quickly move toward the dark side.

“Durham is just warming up.”


Ding, ding, ding.
Fully expected verdict from the swamp’s jury pool. Durham
now has found the truth he sought. Show trials
have gone as expected. Time to begin the next level
of play. Is there no honest (wo)man in these putrid waters?
