The earlier indictments were for union head John Dougherty & Philly politicians.
Earlier allegations included Dougherty using union funds to pay for remodeling, contracting & snow removal services at his brother's house. His brother who received this kickbacks is a Justice on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
The union pleads innocence of course!
It is true that John Dougherty has been under federal scrutiny for 28 years, but finally he is no longer being protected. They union is even claiming the FBI raided them because they put up a Biden sign... Pathetic.
Don't miss this thread from May of 2019 if you want to see more details on the earlier indictments.
It lead to one of the funniest lines I've ever seen from a US Attorney. He corrected Dougherty's lawyers who stated they indicted him for offering bribes. The USA replied we didn't indict you for offering bribes, we indicted you for paying bribes!

Problem for Steele is that Danchenko was not afraid of being contacted by the US Government. In fact he had already reached out to the FBI & been interviewed with his lawyer without Steele knowing about it!

Some redaction that prevent an easy identification of another person that might be exposed too. Not sure if that is a source or a conduit for information... Contacts with Sen. McCain's office....
Starting to read the FBI's 94-page Spreadsheet on corroboration, or lack there of, for the Steele Dossier.
Getting the idea that this will expose all the people involved in Hillary's plot to frame Trump. It's an inventory of the Trump Russia fake news! justthenews.com/sites/default/…
Of course most of the information came from Brookings Institutution and Orbis employee, & suspected Russian Spy Ivan Danchenko who told the FBI made up most of the stuff attributed to him.
Steele had a Russian friend & executive at Target Labs in the US who put Danchenko on their payroll so that he could pay Target Labs a fee & they would pay Danchenko who didn't work for them to conceal he worked for Steele.

Day after Flynn interview DOJ lawyer notes say “NO REASONABLE PROSECUTOR” would bring the case against Flynn! #ButNothingsHappening
In looking a little closer it does seem that this lawyer from DOJ OLC is quoting FBI Chief Counsel Jim Baker. Which makes this seem like this is the meeting the coup blew up in their faces! And you have to see Comey & Baker's roles in this now.
I have long said that Comey was repeating what the coup plotters told him with "No reasonable prosecutor"
That the people who rigged the Hillary email case celebrated when Comey quoted their talking point in his 'exoneration' press conference that revealed Hillary's crimes.
Broidy is a long-time Swamp Creature connected to Swampy Republicans & Democrats. He has connections to many Clintonistas & parts of this investigation was started by Mueller targeting George Nader & others.
Why was @MarkWarner wearing a wire for @Comey when texting a Hillary Clinton associate Adam Walkman who was a Russian Agent & representative for Steele & Assange? To expose the effort to frame Trump for collusion...
After Comey & Warner blocked Ohr & Laughman at DOJ, a second effort was made by Manafort to get Assange hidden away in Russia using a Chinese bank to bribe Ecuador’s President.
