For those who’ve been following these developments on Twitter, the Steele dossier blew up primarily when Danchenko was identified by investigators in this corner of Twitter, then the same group identified Danchenko’s sub sources, and then the same group figured out, with help
from @SergeiMillian, that Millisn had been framed as Source D and that he and Danchenko had never met or spoken. This indictment brings that story almost full circle , but it leaves one question outstanding: Who was Danchenko covering for? He had immunity- a get out of jail free
card- so long as he told the truth. When he fabricated the story and framed Millian, who was he covering for? Did someone tell him what needed to be in the reports he then sourced to Millian? My guess is yes.
If I were Durham, I’d start with the folks at Fusion GPS, including Nellie Ohr, who were researching Millian during the summer of 2016.

Here’s some more random thoughts on the Danchenko indictment. One thing in particular caught my eye. Durham alleges that Danchenko lied to the FBI when he told them that none of his friends or acquaintances knew that he was Steele’s primary source in creating the dossier. It
stood out because of its seeming randomnesss. That false statement isn’t one that Danchenko is charged with making, but it’s there for the broader context. Durham cites as proof of its falsity evidence that Dolan, the PR Executive knew of Danchenko’s role, as shown by his written
communication to a client in January 2017. And by evidence that Olga, SubSource 1 , who was in Cyprus, also knew. So what does this mean? Well, begin with the premise that Danchenko lied for a reason. He had immunity when the FBI interviewed him, and his lawyer in Jan 2017 would

Paul Sperry’s latest claims that Durham has given out more than one immunity deals is not surprising. Defense lawyers in DC probably already figured this out. The question then, is, who are the lucky culprits who got get-out-of-jail-free deals and are now singing like songbirds?
Looking at this from a trial lawyer’s standpoint, there was always one major issue that gave defendants a window of opportunity at trial to confuse the jury into believing that the Alfa Bank DNS lookups were genuine and justified a complete, thorough investigation by the FBI and
CIA. If the jury could be convinced of that fact, then the argument would be that everything that was done was not only justified, but protected by the First Amendment right to petition the govt and right of free speech, in the form of going to the press. A jury could easily be

Merick Garland promised he would remove politics from the Dept of Justice. Now, there is no stronger proof of the hollowness of those words than his own memo in response to a Sept 29 letter to the WH from the NSBA. Garland’s politically charged, attempted federalization of local
school politics has turned into an utter embarrassment to the DOJ and the administration. First, Garland admitted to Congress that the DOJ had no genuine data showing that violence and threats of violence against local school boards were a serious national problem. Second, he
admitted that parents except using their First Amendment rights were not domestic terrorists and were not candidates for prosecution under the Patriot Act. Without expressly saying so, Garland repudiated the hot button language in the very letter he admitted had been the primary

It’s no surprise that wooden-headed Peter Strzok has yet again weighed in on the Russiagate investigation. He argues, for the umpteenth time,that Durham and all his predecessors have a chilling effect on the FBI’s honorable calling to protect us all from evil Russia- even if that
means accepting that not everyone who is an FBI source always tells the whole truth- indeed, they may even shade things if they have hidden motives. The FISA process is such a great tool that such things can be overlooked, Strzok seems to suggest. Strzok’s piece in and of itself
is evidence of someone with a motive who only gives a portion of the story, making what he wrote entirely misleading. He goes on about a Section 1001 omission charge, and suggests that perhaps Sussmann’s defense will be that as a “source,” Sussmann had no duty to disclose who his

In late April 2016, Sussmann had the DNC hire CrowdStrike to investigate and remediate the hack of DNC’s network. According to Mueller’s indictment of Russian hackers, the stolen files were exfiltrated beginning May 25, while CrowdStrike was on the scene investigating and
monitoring. Shaun Henry later testified that CS never saw direct evidence that anything left the system. But according to The NY Times, Sussmann and DNC officials met in mid June with the FBI and asked that the govt promptly attribute the hack to Russia:
At the same time, they went to the WaPo with news of the Russian hack, and Alperovitch of CS published a report attributing it to Russia: paper.seebug.org/papers/APT/APT…

Paul Sperry has now come out with the most complete description of where Durham is headed with his Alfa Bank - Trump Organization phony communications channel case, as described in the Sussmann false statement indictment. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/…
According to Sperry’s sources, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan figures prominently as the head of a conspiracy to present false information to the FBI before the 2016 election, and to the FBI and CIA after Trump took office, to tar Trump as a candidate and then as
President, for colluding with Russia. Sperry describes the mis-use of private, personal electronic data, to target and spy on four persons in the Trump orbit, including Gen Flynn and Carter Page.
