Here is Paul Sperry’s latest article on the Durham probe. It’s well worth a read, containing @SergeiMillian ‘s side of the story about how he was framed. Millian points the finger primarily at Glenn Simpson for coming up with the theory that Millian was a Russian spy and the
person closest to Trump who participated in the conspiracy with Russia. Sperry correctly points out that Danchenko and Steele fabricated out of whole cloth that Millisn was the key source for the most damning elements of the dossier immediately after Simpson and Nellie Ohr
researched Millian. The false story was then fed to the FBI through Brice Ohr by Simpson and Steele,and Simpson fed it to the WaPo and WSJ, which published the false story framing Millian. To this day there has been no retraction. Sperry writes that Ohr is now a target of Durham
and that more indictments are on the way. Oh by the way, Sperry also describes how theFBI continued misleading the FISA court and opened a counter intelligence investigation into Millisn, despite the fact that the ultimate source for this, Danchenko, was himself a suspected spy.
And in case anyone was wondering, I and a whole group in the corner of Twitter figured out some time ago that Millian was indeed framed by Danchenko, probably with the knowledge anc help of Simpson and Steele. Surprisingly, not many in the press did the work journalists are
supposed to do, sufficient to come to the conclusion that was staring them in the face when the Horowitz report came out. The last nail in the coffin of this frame-up was the publication of the FBI’s notes of their January interview of Danchenko. Again, no takers from the MSM.

Yesterday I outlined how Durham’s strategy appears to be the following: Take down a pre-election conspiracy of Clinton acolytes, lawyers, investigative firms, and other private persons, then move to the post-election phase, targeting those inside the govt who either joined the
original conspiracy or formed a second one to take down the president and/or coverup what had gone on before. I explained that no prosecutor worth his salt would let the criminal FISA abuse go unpunished, but the key date would be post-election, when the second renewal of the
Carter Page warrant was obtained- after the FBI interviewed Danchenko and learned the dossier was nothing bu rumors and bar talk. The coverup of what they learned from Danchenko, notwithstanding his lies, extended well into 2018, during the Mueller investigation. @zerohedge has
In a thread begun by @ProfMJCleveland someone asked the $64,000 question: Ehy did Danchenko lie, and repeatedly so, about a complete fabrication- that his sole source for the post damning parts of the dossier was @SergeiMillian , a person Danchenko never met, never talked to over
the phone, and never communicated with in writing about any of the things in the dossier? Under his immunity deal, all Danchenko had to do to stay out of jail was to tell the truth. Instead, according to Steele’s testimony in the UK, Danchenko lied to Steele, telling Steele he
met personally with Millian three separate times. One can imagine several reasons Danchenko stuck with his lie. One could be he really did get one or more phone calls from someone, not Millian, telling Iggy to report certain facts to Steele. But for some reason he had to protect
@KimStrassel has a good editorial in the WSJ on the Clinton Dossier scandal. She explores the role of Chuck Dolan in creating some of the dossier. Unfortunately, she does not address an even bigger part of the scandal: the framing of Sergei Millian as Source D and Source E, the
person allegedly behind the parts of the dossier most damning to Trump, which the FBI included almost verbatim in the FISA application for a warrant to spy on Carter Page. The dossier reports that those damning allegations of a conspiracy between Trump and Russia, complete with
details aplenty, had but one source: a native Russian very close to Trump and his organization. Danchenko told the FBI that person was Millian. The indictment, backed by email evidence, charges Danchenko with lying. Millian was framed. Left unanswered is where did Danchenko get
On this DOJ war against Project Veritas, in the below video O’Keefe fails to mention that the diary in question found its way onto the internet last year before the election. Most of it wasn’t newsworthy, just things that could be embarrassing to Ashley Biden. My recollection
is that there were a couple of pages that could have been embarrassing to Joe or his sons, but there was nothing on its face to authenticate the diary. But I also recall someone posting something claiming that Ashley herself admitted it was hers. So it’s not clear what’s going
on with the FBI seizing reporters’ notebooks regarding a diary that’s already been published- and not by Project Veritas. Is this an effort to put a lid on it? Or did someone try to blackmail the Bidens? Your guess is as good as mine, but First Amendment rights are at stake.
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
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.
