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

#328

Danchenko is a U.S.-based Russian national who, among other things, worked for the Brookings Institution in Washington. In particular, he worked at Brookings with foreign-relations and national-security expert Fiona Hill— who later worked in President Trump’s National Security Council and, coincidentally, was a key witness in the first Trump impeachment (related to the Ukraine controversy, which was unrelated to the Trump/Russia “collusion” investigation). As the Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross observes, it was Hill who introduced Danchenko to Christopher Steele, the former British spy who was retained by the Hillary Clinton campaign to generate the Steele dossier.

The campaign was represented by the Perkins-Coie law firm, which retained Fusion-GPS, an intelligence firm that specializes in political-opposition research. Fusion’s co-founder, Glenn Simpson, recruited Steele for the Clinton campaign’s Trump-Russia research project. Steele got much of the information from Danchenko, with whom he had a preexisting professional relationship (through Steele’s London-based intelligence firm, Orbis).

As I’ve previously detailed, Durham appears to be operating from the premise that the Trump-Russia narrative, in which Trump was framed as a clandestine agent of Vladimir Putin’s regime, was manufactured by the Clinton campaign, which generated the dossier and peddled its information to the media and the government. This enabled the campaign to argue to the electorate not only that Trump was a Putin puppet but that the FBI was investigating him over it.

For the next few days, expect the new Washington parlor game to be identifying the Democratic Party operative who was allegedly a source for Danchenko’s dossier claims. The indictment alleges that “PR Executive-1” had strong Russian contacts — organizing events in Moscow and interacting with Russian nationals.

I remember watching her impeachment testimony and how everyone said we should believe her, she’s the expert. And yet anyone who presented actual facts and timelines regarding Ukraine were marginalized as conspiracy theorists. Kinda reminds me how there’s a ton of evidence for the lab leak theory, yet Fauci still says it likely of natural origin and we’re told to believe him.

Hmmm….

Trump could've been a lot better president. However, the way he broke these people makes him one of the most important we've ever had.

This sounds even deeper than we knew. Fiona Hill - anybody smell a rat?

Trump probably would have been a better president and perhaps even a more adult and reasonable person if he hadn't had these fiends breathing down his neck and the news media on the attack ... and the FBI, and the DOJ, and ... I would love to have seen any dem politician in his shoes and watched the complete meltdown. Most people put in Trump's position would have wound up in a padded room.

He could have been a better *man*, but I think his presidency more consequential than Reagan, and the most in my lifetime. Reagan was at least dealing with a Democrat party and bureaucracy who - in the majority - still cared for this country. Reagan also created amnesty for illegally breaching our border. Trump was a more America First prez in practicality, and never had another option but to reciprocate the left's nut kicks. I don't see that Reagan would've had that in him. Certainly neither Bush did, nor McCain, and the rest of the wingtip Republican brigade who've ceded this country one institution at a time to the left in the ensuing decades.

Literally the same guys who didn't support Reagan doubled as the never-Trumpers, McConnell included.
Trump's the dark knight the country needed.

I wasn't worried so much about the being adult or reasonable. I would've rather he was more careful about who he endorsed and would've liked him to have been more ruthless with those that were part of the uniparty.

This story also exposes the media’s lack of real journalism. They were used as willing pawns in this because they see themselves as activists - not journalists.

It would have only taken one honest journalist at the times or post to ask the most rudimentary questions and the whole thing would have come crashing down.

Greenwald and Taibbi (both liberal) have pointed this out in great detail on multiple occasions. It's an embarrassing saga in the history of journalism.

Watters on Steele dossier sub-source arrest: 'All arrows point to the Clinton campaign'

"Today, thanks to an indictment from John Durham, we know the truth," the host continued. "There was no leaked phone call…instead, according to today’s indictment, the source of much of Danchenko's information was a Democratic Party operative — and a former Hillary Clinton advisor."

"In other words," Watters said pointedly, "Hillary Clinton’s team was not just funding the Steele dossier, they were effectively writing it too. All of the arrows turn right back and point to the Clinton campaign."

Danchenko was released late Thursday with no electronic monitoring and is scheduled to appear before the court on Nov. 10.

I completely agree. When you take into account the way he was attacked every day and all of the baseless lies that were spread by mainstream media it is no wonder the hatred he has for his opposition. The man was basically put through hell for 4 years. I think ultimately it all backfired on the left and it did nothing but wake up millions of Americans to the level of corruption that is in our leadership at so many different levels. I think a lot of people have also come to the realization that 1 single person is not going to save our nation. If we don't like the trajectory the America is headed in we have to get involved on a local level if we want to see a change.

For his own personal safety, should probably be on "suicide" watch for the next week.

‘Oops! Page Can’t Be Found’: PR Firm Deletes Clinton Advisor From Its Website After Trump Dossier News

Public relations firm kglobal deleted the company profile of executive Charles Dolan, a former advisor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, from its website Thursday following his implication as a source of information for Igor Danchenko, a Russian analyst involved in creating the Steele dossier.

Danchenko was indicted by Special Counsel John Durham on several counts of lying to the FBI and arrested Thursday, The New York Times first reported. Danchenko, a Russian analyst, was used by British ex-spy Christopher Steele as a primary source of information in creating the infamous Steele dossier, which spurred allegations of collusion between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

Danchenko’s indictment revealed that one of the Russian analyst’s primary sources for information was Charles Dolan, who was labeled as “PR Executive-1” and whose identity was confirmed by The New York Times.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Dolan is currently a senior vice president of public relations firm kglobal. Yet his profile on kglobal’s website, which remains visible in Google search results, returns a “404” error message when accessed.

Dolan advised both Bill and Hillary Clinton in their respective presidential campaigns, and he worked in the State Department during the Clinton administration.

Danchenko, who previously worked at the Brookings Institution, used Dolan as a primary source for creating the Steele dossier, according to the indictment. Dolan is described in the indictment as having “historical and ongoing involvement in Democratic politics.”

Mark Levin who was in the Reagan administration, and who should know, agrees with you about Trump.

History will prove his strength as a leader and decision maker. The gap is an ocean wide between the ability of Trump and the ability of what we've seen probably since Clinton but Trump is didn't have the scandals of Clinton unless you claim manufacturerd BS from the left.

Biden is the first administration along with this congress that seems 100% incompetent on every facet.

I consider Levin a constitutional-republic, activist juggernaut and more valuable than Rush, which doesn't diminish Rush who paved the way for guys like Levin.
