The latest filings by Special Counsel John Durham reveal that lawyers for the Hillary Clinton Campaign now represent Christopher Steele primary subsource Igor Danchenko. In doing so, Durham reveals something else: that the Hillary Clinton Campaign and multiple former employees of the Hillary Clinton Campaign are under investigation.

Let’s walk through the latest developments.

Background

Igor Danchenko, the primary subsource of Christopher Steele, was arrested on November 3, 2021 for giving multiple false statements to federal officials during his 2017 interviews with the FBI. These included lies about Danchenko’s sources, his travels to Russia, and his falsified contacts with Sergei Millian. We laid out Danchenko’s indictment here.

Notably, Special Counsel John Durham alleges that one of Danchenko’s real “sources” was Charles Dolan, Jr. (perhaps first identified by Aaron Mate), who served in various leadership positions to elect Bill Clinton in the 1992 and 1996 campaigns and was an advisor to Hillary Clinton in her 2016 campaign for president. With Dolan’s involvement, the obvious question becomes whether he was the intermediary between the Clinton Campaign and Danchenko.

The Involvement of the Hillary Clinton Campaign

After all, we know that the Hillary Clinton Campaign paid for the Steele dossiers and the work by Fusion GPS. This was arranged through their attorneys (and the DNC attorneys) at Perkins Coie - notably Mark Elias and Michael Sussmann. Elias left the firm this summer. Sussmann was indicted in September 2021 by Special Counsel Durham for giving false statements relating to the Alfa Bank/Trump hoax.

It is highly likely that the Clinton Campaign was receiving updates on the Fusion GPS/Christopher Steele work once they were hired by Perkins Coie in the spring of 2016. This is work the client - the Clinton Campaign - paid for. (The sharing of this info would be consistent with the Clinton Campaign - notably Jake Sullivan - receiving backchannel updates on the Alfa Bank hoax.)

If the Clinton Campaign was being informed of the work by Fusion GPS, what of the likelihood that the Clinton Campaign was informing the work of Fusion GPS? It was Clintons’ idea to link Trump and Russia in the first place. And associates of the Clinton Campaign (Sidney Blumenthal) were working to corroborate parts of the dossier.

With that in mind, I leave you this bit of information provided by the New York Times in September (emphasis added) suggesting the complicity of the Clinton Campaign:

Some of the questions that Mr. Durham’s team has been asking in recent months — including of witnesses it subpoenaed before a grand jury, according to people familiar with some of the sessions — suggest he has been pursuing a theory that the Clinton campaign used Perkins Coie to submit dubious information to the F.B.I. about Russia and Mr. Trump in an effort to gin up investigative activity to hurt his 2016 campaign.

The Latest Developments

Now let’s review what’s going on in Danchenko’s criminal case. He was originally represented by Chris Schafbuch and Mark Schamel. On December 6, 2021, Stuart Sears appeared on behalf of Danchenko. Schafbuch and Schamel dropped out of the case.

According to Durham’s latest filing, Stuart Sears is a partner at the law firm Schertler Onorato Mead & Sears. Notably, the firm is currently representing the 2016 “Hillary for America” presidential campaign (the “Clinton Campaign”), as well as multiple former employees of that campaign, in matters before the Special Counsel.”

We will get the final report in 2050, hang on!!!!

[Deaf Smith]

Should add another three years of billable hours for Durham.

[FreeReign]

Seeing results is believing he will get results.

Durham dies in mysterious accident in 3... 2... 1...

2050? Not far enough out. Hillary will still be alive. Evil has been allowed to live a long time on this Earth and ruin the lives of millions (see: Soros). I expect Hillary to be no different.

[Bullish]

Meanwhile Hillary thinks she’s going to swoop in as soon as Brandon and Kamleho are shown the door.

“Durham dies in mysterious accident in 3... 2... 1...”

Yep, Hillary made the call last week. They’re putting everything in place.

[G Larry]

Uh...Durham is flat rate for now.

[digger48]

Being she’s a micro manager every thing, and the the most corrupt politician in our lifetime, there’s no way she didn’t plan or know about all of it

She’s relying on the multiple Firewalls she always builds around herself, but those walls keep burning down around her

If we had an honest media and honest law enforcement, she’d be sitting in Leavenworth right now

[Kevin in California]

Durham didn’t kill himself.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Oh, I can’t wait for 2037

[dartuser]

Hillary had no knowledge of her own campaign strategies to defeat Donald Trump.

Do I really need the sarc tag?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

She may never face a judgment seat in this lifetime, but I know for a fact that I will one day watch as Bill and Hillary and scores of others will be thrust into the Lake of Fire where we will have the satisfaction of knowing that she will boil for eternity for her sins.

Someone will accuse me of being unloving, but my view is that they have rejected Jesus Christ one too many times and have severed their day of grace.

"Hillary had no knowledge of her own campaign strategies to defeat Donald Trump." (/s)"

Her emails are out there. Wiping her server did not remove them from the web. How many aliases did she use?

And yet once again Freepers crap all over really good news.

Pathetic.

Igor Danchenko Now Represented by Hillary Clinton Lawyers

December 20, 2021 | sundance | 102 Comments

This is weirdly revealing (Hat Tip Technofog).

In a court filing today by Special Counsel John Durham [pdf here] it’s noted that previously indicted Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source for Christopher Steele’s fraudulent dossier against Donald Trump, is now represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton’s legal interests.  John Durham is asking the court to evaluate the legal conflicts:

 

(pdf Here)

Why would the legal firm representing Hillary Clinton (to the Durham probe) step-in to represent Igor Danchenko in his criminal indictment?

The only logical reason would be for Danchenko to represent a legal risk to the interests of Hillary Clinton, likely through the direct association between Hillary Clinton and Charles Dolan, Danchenko’s collaborator and the liaison to Chris Steele from the Clinton campaign.

As a result of the Durham indictment, we know Igor Danchenko was working closely with Democrat Party public relations executive Charles Dolan to funnel the fabricated source material to Chris Steele.  The Clinton team’s communication and contact with Charles Dolan would represent a legal risk to Hillary Clinton.

If Charles Dolan and Hillary Clinton were in communication, it seems like that would be the motive for Clinton’s lawyers to want to control Danchenko’s legal status and any statements to John Durham or the court.  More than likely, the people in/around Hillary Clinton are the ones paying the law firm to represent Igor Danchenko.

Stay out of Fort Marcy Park!

That’s why she has to run and announce it now. Any prosecution is just put on hold as a rule.

Bttt.
