The new evidence continues to mount that the Clinton-funded Steele Dossier used fabricated information from Igor Danchenko and Charles Dolan Jr. (aka PR Executive-1). The dossier was then used as the basis for launching the FBI probe that resulted in the $32 million Mueller investigation. The indictments include charges that Dunchenko lied to FBI investigators about the source of the information:
Durham told the court: “According to Organizer-1, during the aforementioned tour of the Presidential Suite, a Moscow Hotel staff member told the participants, including PR Executive-1, that Trump had stayed in the Presidential Suite. According to both Organizer-1 and PR Executive-1, the staff member did not mention any sexual or salacious activity.”
The entire story of the prostitutes was therefore a fabrication — and Danchenko is now being charged for lying to the FBI about whether Dolan was a source for “Trump’s stay and alleged activity in the Moscow hotel.”
Earlier revelations showed that the FBI used an information laundering operation to fabricate justifications for the massive surveillance operations. The approach was to leak false information to complicit media and then use the media reports as sources used to justify the FISA warrants:
FBI Director James Comey admits to leaking his ‘memos’ to the New York Times. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted for leaking and lying about it. FBI #2 Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page are caught in their text messages leaking to Politico, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
…. AND the FBI is caught, in at least one FISA application, using Yahoo media reports provided by them AND their investigative source Christopher Steele to establish a basis for FISA “Title I” surveillance; the most intrusive and wide-open search and surveillance authority possible.
Should the Clinton campaign be responsible for reimbursing government for the cost of the Mueller investigation?
Can those wrongfully targeted for investigations and media smear campaigns be compensated under defamation laws?
So Danchenko contacts him about why Manafort got fired and he said that he had a friend in the GOP who had some dirt and then he simply shared what was in public reporting.
No time to unpack all this now sorry, going away for the weekend, maybe later, but suffice it to say you are concentrating on what they could charge and ignoring the timeline and who met who.
