The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump

Identity of 'Tech Executive' in Durham Indictment over Alfa Bank claims Revealed

The unnamed technology executive from special counsel John Durham’s most recent indictment, who allegedly hired now-indicted lawyer Michael Sussmann and helped push claims of a secret backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank, has been revealed.

Rodney Joffe, senior vice president of Neustar, was identified as "Tech Executive-1" on Thursday in a CNN report that said Durham issued more subpoenas to the high-powered, Democrat-connected law firm Perkins Coie that, until recently, had employed Sussmann.

Online sleuths figured out earlier this month Joffe was likely the unnamed technology executive. Alfa Bank, which denied the existence of a back channel, is pursuing subpoenas directed at Neustar and Joffe in its own civil lawsuit.

The grand jury indictment this month against Sussmann centers on a September 2016 meeting between him and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in which Sussmann passed along allegations claiming covert communications between Russia’s Alfa Bank and former President Donald Trump's business.

Christopher Steele comes ‘out of the shadows’ for Stephanopoulos interview

Christopher Steele has come “out of the shadows” for an interview with Bill Clinton's former communications director George Stephanopoulos just weeks after special counsel John Durham indicted a Hillary Clinton campaign-linked lawyer.

Steele is the former MI6 agent who compiled the salacious and discredited anti-Trump "Steele dossier" after being hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which itself had been hired by the Clinton campaign.

The former spy spoke with Stephanopoulos a couple of weeks ago for the first episode of the Good Morning America host’s new documentary series. The episode — “Out of the Shadows” — will air on Monday.

Durham unloads thousands of documents to Sussmann defense

Special counsel John Durham provided 81,000 pages of discovery to indicted Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann in his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation, court filings show.

The reams of documents, which reveal details from grand jury subpoenas sent to 15 individuals and organizations likely including opposition research firm Fusion GPS, were produced this month after lawyers representing Sussmann, who denies any wrongdoing, demanded more information while calling the allegations that he lied to the FBI five years ago vague and confusing.

A grand jury returned an indictment last month that centers on a September 2016 meeting between Sussmann and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in which the lawyer passed along information about suspicions of covert communications between Russia’s Alfa Bank and the business of former President Donald Trump, who was the Republican presidential candidate at the time.

Special counsel John Durham charges Russian analyst behind Steele dossier with lying to FBI agents: US public relations exec with Democrat ties was Key Source for claims Trump colluded with Putin, Indictment says

  • Igor Danchenko, a Russian-born analyst living in the US, was arrested Thursday
  • Faces five counts of lying to FBI agents about his work on the Steele dossier
A key source who provided information to British ex-spy Christopher Steele for his 'dirty dossier' of allegations against Donald Trump has been arrested in the US.

Igor Danchenko, a Russian-born analyst living in the United States, was arrested on Thursday in Virginia by federal agents assigned to John H. Durham's special counsel inquiry into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, according to the Justice Department.

Igor Danchenko was taken into custody on Thursday by US federal agents

He is charged with five counts of lying to FBI agents about the sources he used in collecting information for Steele, who is identified in the indictment only as 'UK Person-1'.

The Russian political analyst was the primary researcher for Steele's dossier alleging that Trump's 2016 presidential campaign conspired with Russia in a covert operation to beat Hillary Clinton, and that Russia had salacious videos that could be used to blackmail Trump.

The indictment alleges that Danchenko lied to federal investigators by saying that he had not had contact with a certain US-based executive at an American public relations firm, who had longstanding ties to the Democratic Party.

Man I bet EL and Luther are having a conniption fit right now. I mean the whole Russia collusion stuff has blown up in their face.

I wouldn’t bet you’re lunch money on it.

I strongly doubt they 100% bought it anyway. It would take a person with a very limited amount of reasoning ability to buy in on that. They most likely saw it as a means to an end: get rid of Trump.
