@Alexey__Kovalev 1/ good that you're covering this story, but you're still not up to speed on the entire story. In addition to his purported Russian network, Steele instructed Danchenko to locate sources within the Trump campaign in the US. This instruction resulted in the most explosive and

@Alexey__Kovalev 2/ and damaging memos in the dossier - the reports (especially Report 95 right after Wikileaks drop) alleging collusion between Trump campaign and Russian intel services, including the supposed devil's bargain to hack the DNC and publish DNC hack at Wikileaks to elect Trump.

@Alexey__Kovalev 3/ the Steele dossier attributed the information in these memos to Sergei Millian. However, it can be proven that Millian never met Danchenko (or Steele). The narrative in these memos was entirely fabricated by one or both of Steele and Danchenko. None of Galkina, Podobedova etc

@Alexey__Kovalev 4/ were involved in these most critical memos.

It appears to me that Galkina, Podobedova and Vorontsov did have more contact with Danchenko than they are letting on, but also that whatever rumor or information they gave Danchenko was considerably embellished by Danchenko in his

@Alexey__Kovalev 5/ report to Steele and then subsequently even more wildly by Steele and his office in his final report.

@Alexey__Kovalev 6/ all of Danchenko's sources, except Abyshev, were identified in "our corner" of twitter within a few days of the Danchenko EC being released. However, six months earlier, when the Horowitz report had been released, we had already deduced that Steele's Primary SubSource (PSS)

@Alexey__Kovalev 7/ was a resident of the US, probably in northern Virginia, and that the FBI had lied about him being "Russian-based" both in the Carter Page FISA and in briefings to congressional committees.
