Durham trial: Mueller declined to investigate Clinton ally linked to Danchenko

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A current FBI special agent and a former bureau analyst who both served on Robert Mueller’s team testified that the special counsel’s office declined to investigate and never interviewed Charles Dolan, the Clinton-allied business associate of the main source for Christopher Steele, despite their urging.

Supervisory special agent Amy Anderson and former FBI intelligence analyst Brittany Hertzog both testified Friday that, as members of Mueller’s team who were specifically tasked with scrutinizing the allegations within the Trump dossier, they believed the FBI should interview and further investigate Dolan, a longtime ally of Bill and Hillary Clinton, partly due to his business connections with Igor Danchenko, a Russian national whom the bureau had made a paid informant. Danchenko has been charged by special counsel John Durham with lying to the FBI about his sourcing for the Democratic-funded dossier.

The Mueller team members also testified that they were concerned about Dolan’s links to Danchenko’s friend Olga Galkina, who had been identified as a sub-source for Danchenko related to the dossier, although she denies being such a source. Danchenko introduced Dolan and Galkina in 2016.

Dolan had spent many years, including 2016, doing business in Russia and with the Russian government. Anderson and Hertzog said they were also concerned about Dolan’s potential dossier links combined with the fact that he had a history of working closely with Russian officials, most notably Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Despite Dolan’s potential dossier links through Danchenko and Galkina, as well as his associations with Russian officials, Anderson and Hertzog said their efforts to investigate Dolan were shut down.

I hope every single agent is arrested and thrown in the DC gulag without a trial to enjoy what they have perpetrated against citizens on the order of the swamp masters. Every single one of them is a crook.

Wow, so the trail is hitting pretty close to her Lowness
now.

What does one suppose was his cut on Russian donations to the Clinton Foundation? Ten percent for the little guy?

From NYPost: In 2006, the Kremlin had signed a deal with Ketchum, the PR firm where Dolan rose to become senior vice president for public affairs. As part of the agreement, according to the indictment, Ketchum was to “handle global public relations for the Russian government” as well as state-owned energy company Gazprom.
As a result, the indictment states, Dolan “frequently interacted with senior Russian Federation leadership whose names would later appear” in the dossier, such as Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and then-Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.
According to the indictment, Dolan and Danchenko were on speaking terms by April 2016, having discussed a “potential business collaboration” involving Dolan’s new PR firm, kglobal.

It sure is starting to be pretty clear that Felonius Milhaus von Pantsuit was the one colluding with Russians to affect the election outcome.

This fix is in on this trial. The judge has disallowed so much evidence and now this.

“U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga acquitted Russian national Igor Danchenko on one of five counts against him, after Special Counsel John Durham charged him with making false statements to the FBI.

Trenga threw out one of the five counts of making a false statement to the FBI after a standard Rule 29 proceeding where the defense brings a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that the prosecution has not brought sufficient evidence to prove it.”

Sure sounds like a Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow the United States President, using a Foreign Nation who is a declared enemy to boot, likely makes it TREASON

I believe the punishment is DEATH for every last person involved upon conviction.

The list of connections to people like this, and the accusations outbound is just gobsmacking that anyone paid attention to the accusations against Trump.

One wants to believe that somewhere, somehow, there are good men - honest cops, but with every revelation, it becomes more apparent that is not even one, and the entire filthy institution has to be shut down, or the Republic will fall.

The two cannot abide.
