#4 Total clownshow.

Danchenko is a known nut job and a hardcore alcoholic.
His girlfriend Olga Galkina is also a known nut job and a hardcore alcoholic. They’ve both been fired and/or sued by former employers for their lies and slander.

More on Olga, the whack job who came up with Steele’s ridiculous lies:

#5 Getting agents of Deep State convicted in Washington for obvious crimes is about as likely as a Klansman getting convicted in Deep South circa 1890-1970 for killing a black man. Strange that in both cases you would be dealing with Democratic Party dominated populations.

#6 Two years ago, Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations outed this psychotic liar and convicted criminal:

The mysterious “Primary Subsource” that Christopher Steele has long hidden behind to defend his discredited Trump-Russia dossier is a former Brookings Institution analyst -- Igor “Iggy” Danchenko, a Russian national whose past includes criminal convictions and other personal baggage ignored by the FBI in vetting him and the information he fed to Steele, according to congressional sources and records obtained by RealClearInvestigations. Agents continued to use the dossier as grounds to investigate President Trump and put his advisers under counter-espionage surveillance.

The 42-year-old Danchenko, who was hired by Steele in 2016 to deploy a network of sources to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia for the Hillary Clinton campaign, was arrested, jailed and convicted years earlier on multiple public drunkenness and disorderly conduct charges in the Washington area and ordered to undergo substance-abuse and mental-health counseling, according to criminal records. …

A newly declassified FBI summary of the FBI-Danchenko meeting reveals agents learned that key allegations in the dossier, which claimed Trump engaged in a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” with the Kremlin against Clinton, were largely inspired by gossip and bar talk among Danchenko and his drinking buddies, most of whom were childhood friends from Russia.

#10 The problem with this case was the issue of 'materiality'.

To be found guilty your lie has to have a material consequence.

Since the FBI was going to spy on the Trump campaign anyway it didn't matter much that Danchenko lied because the FBI would have found another POS person to come up with something.

This is the same problem as the earlier trial.

#12 Seems like Durham knew he couldn't get a conviction, even of low hanging fruit, so he laid out the FBI's corruption for all to see. Its unsatisfying but might be helpful when it comes time to consider what to do with the FBI.
