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

have emphasized to him that he had a get out of jail free card- provided he told the truth. So why fabricate a story about a 20 minute phone call in late July 2016 from an anonymous caller, who Danchenko later concluded must have been Millian? And then why stick with that same

phony story over the course of five separate interviews? It’s possible he was being threatened, and it’s fairly certain he was covering for someone. The indictment doesn’t say who told Danchenko to report to Steele the critical information beginning with #95 , that there was a

conspiracy between Trump and Russia, in which Russia agreed to help Trump get elected and in return Trump and his campaign agreed to cooperate on certain issues, including the Republican platform provisions on Ukraine. At the point on behalf of the campaign in this conspiracy was

an advisor, Carter Page. These allegations were in Steele’s memo #95, which according to Danchenko was solely sourced to Millian, the anonymous caller. So who told Danchenko to fabricate a story about a conspiracy in which Page played a key role- allegations that found there way

almost verbatim into the FISA warrant application? Who is Danchenko covering for? The indictment doesn’t say, but certainly hints that Durham knows. Go back to the allegation that Danchenko lied when he said nobody but Steele knew of his role as Steele’s primary source. Durham is

implying that there’s one or more unnamed persons who knew what Danchenko and Steele were up to, and most importantly, knew what the FBI needed to launch an investigation and even get some warrants. Later, SubSource 1, Olga in Cyprus, allegedly contributed more details about

Page’s role. She also knew about Danchenko’s role, and she also knew Dolan, who also knew about what Danchenko was doing. Those two likely have given Durham information as to whom they might have told- someone who had a motive to feed Danchenko with precisely the language needed.

Here’s more color on Danchenko’s lie about Millian:
