CTH:
Igor Danchenko was a well-known fabricator of (dis)information long before the FBI made the purposeful decision to enlist him in their Trump targeting efforts. Specifically because Danchenko had no moral compass to the truth he was particularly useful for the FBI effort. This was the big problem for John Durham in prosecuting Danchenko for material lies the FBI knew from the outset were false.
How does the same DOJ who used the lies for their political purposes, then prosecute the liar for the false information? That was always the structural flaw in any case brought by Durham. As a result, the trial was not so much about the lying Danchenko as it was about the lying FBI and their use of Danchenko.
A jury found Igor Danchenko not guilty on four counts of lying to the FBI, on four occasions. (1) Danchenko told FBI agents he received a phone call in late July 2016 Sergei Millian. However, Danchenko knew he had never received a call from Millian. (2) Danchenko gave a false statement to FBI agents that he “was under the impression” that the late July 2016 call was from Millian. (3) Danchenko falsely stated to FBI agents that he believed he spoke to Millian on the phone on more than one occasion. And (4) Danchenko lied that he “believed he has spoken to [Millian] on the telephone,” when Danchenko well knew he had never spoken to Millian.
The FBI didn’t care about the details of the lies that were told to them; the lies served a purpose.
Of course! Any juror who votes the wrong way will be audited, thrown in the dungeon with the 1/6 insurrectionists, or just end up committing Arkanside. Just ask the first OJ jurors.
Life hack: To get out of jury duty, just say that you understand the concept of jury nullification. That’s all. Don’t threaten jury nullification; don’t say you are for or against it, just that you understand it.
If the pendulum swings, before this country is destroyed, we need to bring back the 1930’s Committee on Un-American Activities and see every deep state pieces of shit justly punished.
Geeknerd beat me to it. For him to be found guilty it would make all the FISA warrants obtained fraudulent and destroy the dems narrative.
This way the media can keep spinning.
It’s been about three years since I believed that Special Counsel Durham was actually going to accomplish anything. The Federal Statutes of Limitations for all these crimes is five years. Durham has played his role perfectly. He’s a Deep Swamp Dweller. He’s going to retire and get a huge payoff from his Masters and Handlers.
Well, the swamp is on a roll. If they can quench the “Red Wave” and turn it into a “Blue Tsunami” what then?
Hopeium, get ur Hopeium right here!! The Hopeium worked on Anesthetizing & sedating the conserv (always-play-by-the-rules) masses and keeping them from burning down the government while they waited for the “Trust-The-Plan-Justice” to be done. However, the overall outcome was never ever in doubt. The Last Refuge AKA The Conservative Treehouse outlined this down to the very letter. As disheartening as it was, I was not surprised in the least.
Being this was nothing from day one what exactly are we trying to claim here? Durham was/is a used car salesman & you got sold! Aw
One point in favor of Durham, and only one point, is that he is making his findings public in court. Beyond that, he has shown himself to be a cynical swamp creature.
Neutron bomb. Save our monuments and buildings.
It’s not a lie if the recipient was expecting that answer.
Good observation, Burner!
Juries in D.C. make a strong case FOR tests to vote (and therefore serve on a jury).
paging Mr. Igor Danchenko, please pickup the white courtesy phone, “bullets are waiting”. 💀
The next Congress needs to take back the governance of the District of Columbia. The denizens of that Federal Shithole have proven they are unworthy of running the city. They had their chance and they completely wrecked the place. Couldn’t stop the rioters from trashing the place when Trump was inaugurated, or when the rioters were attacking the White House.
@ FJB: Infinite ^s! I’ve had the same thought for about 15 years now!
LBJ (in a taped conversation) spoke with J. Edgar Hoover about him personally selecting members for the Warren Commission. This was done to get a specific outcome in the report which it did. Bill Barr essentially did the same thing by appointing Durham. The big guys at the EffBeeEye always knew their good friend Barr would protect them.
