Analyst who Aided Trump-Russia Dossier is Arrested

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Russia analyst who provided information for a dossier of research used during the Trump-Russia investigation has been arrested by U.S. authorities as part of an ongoing special counsel investigation, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Igor Danchenko is the third person, and second in a two-month span, to face charges in special counsel John Durham’s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation.

Danchenko functioned as a source for Christopher Steele, a former British spy who was paid by Democrats to examine ties between Russia and Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. The research was used by the FBI as it applied for and received surveillance warrants targeting a former Trump campaign aide.

Both the dossier and the Durham probe are politically charged. Trump’s Justice Department appointed Durham as Trump claimed the investigation of campaign ties to Russia was a witch hunt and pointed to the dossier, some of which remains uncorroborated or has been discredited, as evidence of an unfair probe.

But the dossier had no role in the launching of the Trump-Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller ultimately found questionable ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia, but not sufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges. Democrats saw the Durham probe as politically motivated, but the Biden administration has not stopped it.

#3 Danchenko is a Russian national, proficient in English who has, among other creditials, a degree from the U of Louisville and publications at Brookings Institute and Georgetown U.

He was living in the US during the development of the Dossier and the identity of his sources in Russia is not fully known.

#4 This looney-tunes was outed long ago as a drunken fabulist who was convicted and sentenced to undergo mental health treatment. Complete absurdity.

An easy target for FSB disinformation tactics.

#6 Hmmm....you get the feeling there is part of Deep State that fears for its existence knowing they've put Brandon in office now? If you make the whole thing look so illegitimate and incompetent you might might want a future 'get out of jail' card for landing on Go.
