Dossier critic Fiona Hill introduced main source to Steele ‐ and, Durham says, 'PR Exec-1'
2021-11-06
[Washington Examiner] Fiona Hill has criticized Christopher Steele and said his dossier likely contained Russian disinformation, but she introduced Igor Danchenko, the main source for the research who was indicted in special counsel John Durham's investigation, to both the former MI6 agent and allegedly a Democratic public relations executive who volunteered for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Hill, who worked at the Brookings Institution with Danchenko for years before serving as the Russia expert on Trump’s National Security Council and testifying during the Ukraine-focused impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, introduced Dachenko and Steele a decade ago.

The "PR Executive-1" in Durham’s indictment against Danchenko is Charles Dolan, a longtime ally of Bill and Hillary Clinton, whom Durham alleges was an originator of a false dossier claim he passed to Danchenko who then gave it to Steele.

Danchenko, a Russian-born lawyer in the United States, was charged Thursday "with five counts of making false statements to the FBI" that Durham claims he made about the information he provided for Steele's dossier on alleged ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Durham’s indictment stated Danchenko worked as a Russian analyst at "Think Tank-1," Brookings, from 2005 through 2010. Durham also stated "Think Tank Employee-1," identifiable as Hill, "introduced Danchenko to U.K. Person-1," Steele. The indictment said Steele "retained Danchenko as a contractor at U.K. Investigative Firm-1," Steele’s Orbis Business Intelligence — in 2011.

The special counsel also said Hill "introduced Danchenko to PR Executive-1," Dolan, "in connection with potential business opportunities" around February 2016.

Not unlike our own former intelligence people, MI6 veterans simply follow the compensation packages.
