Special counsel John Durham has set his sights on Hillary Clinton operatives behind the Trump-Russia collusion narrative and the debunked Steele dossier.
Last week, a grand jury empaneled by Durham indicted far-left dossier researcher Igor Danchenko, who previously worked for the left-leaning Brookings Institution, for lying to the FBI. Danchenko had been the main source for the dossier created by former UK spy Christopher Steele that was, in turn, used by the FBI to derail the Trump campaign in 2016.

“When I became the director of national intelligence, I said, ‘Listen, I want to see all of the intelligence about this supposed Russian collusion,’ Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said during a Fox Business interview on Sunday.
“What I found was, and as you’re finding out, is there was, of course, no Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but what I did see in intelligence documents, some of which I’ve now declassified, that there was collusion involving the Clinton campaign and Russians to create a dossier.”
Theepochtimes.com reports: Numerous documents that Ratcliffe said he had provided to Durham are being used in the special counsel’s investigation, he told Fox.
“I declassified the documents that we’ve talked about, but I gave John Durham over 1,000 other documents that have not yet been declassified that I know, including intelligence that goes specifically to this criminal activity that would be the basis for further indictments,” Ratcliffe continued, adding that he believes Durham’s grand jury believes the Steele dossier “is criminal in nature.”
During the 2016 election, Steele was hired by Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump. Fusion GPS was retained by high-powered Washington-based law firm Perkins Coie on behalf of the Democratic National Committee
Numerous claims pushed in the dossier turned out to be false, triggering congressional, inspector general, and criminal investigations as to why it was used as the basis of a FISA court order to conduct surveillance of a then-Trump campaign aide.
Those who were involved in the construction of the dossier, as well as individuals who promoted it “falsely, would be in jeopardy,” Ratcliffe claimed. “I know that that’s what John Durham is looking at, and as I talked about, this goes to the highest levels of our government and government agencies involved,” he added.
“I continue to think there will be many indictments based on the intelligence that I gave to John Durham and that I have seen,” he continued.
Durham’s team also indicted former Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann, alleging he lied when he told former FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016 that he was not representing a client when he provided Baker with a now-debunked claim that the Trump Organization was communicating electronically with a Russian bank.
Following his arrest on Nov. 4, a lawyer representing Danchenko attempted to enter a plea of not guilty but a judge said it was premature, according to reports. Danchenko’s lawyers haven’t responded to a request for comment and have not issued any public statements regarding their client.

So ridiculous. Ask yourself why Durham didn’t just go directly to guilty Hiterly? This whole Durham report is just a psyop to appease the Law abiding citizens, to make them think the government is actually still ruled by law. they are not. these people will be let go or receive a stern slap on the wrist, but will not be able to pin hitlery on anything illegal. Don’t bother with your feable hopes. Hitlery wont be found guilty until she is dead of old age. You know what I say is true.
Another bs distraction. Jerry!!Jerry!!Jerry!!
What we are seeing is the correct functioning of our system of laws. It is taking time, and there often seems to be no progress. But what counts is the outcome. If and when consequences are handed out in the form of convictions, this long wait will seem short. Then what will matter is that our system of laws will have been proved effective. Many people in all professions feel the same way we do, that action needs to be taken, and many realize that the best way to deal with such matters is not through violence but through the ethical application of laws.
Do you really believe that?
Prove it..
