The latest filings by Special Counsel John Durham reveal that lawyers for the Hillary Clinton Campaign now represent Christopher Steele primary subsource Igor Danchenko. Let's walk through the significance of this fact.

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.

The Involvement of the Hillary Clinton Campaign

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. After all, this is work the client - the Clinton Campaign - paid for. (This is 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? After all, 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:

And just think this was all predicated on hopes of Hillary winning the 2016 Presidential election which we all know she lost.

The question I would ask the DNC....why put Trump in a hotel room with a prostitute to pee on him.....    

Out of all the things they could of set him up on they brainstormed a "Pee Tape Dossier".

What a three Stooges moment that was... Un-friggin-believable........

Taking a wild stab at it here, liberals always accuse their enemy of what they are doing.

Excellent Point! Surprised they didn't include children, knowing how these pedos work.

   I have lost count on how many liberals have been busted for just that and I still have not heard one democrat condemn them for it.

Another excellent point! I guess they condone it, there can't be any other explanation.

I am not looking for anything of any value out of this allegedly Awesome person Durham.   IMO he's nothing but fake.

Considering what we've seen in politics for the last 60 years (at least),
I understand why you're skeptical.

I was optimistic about Durham,
until he produced nothing before last year's election.
That made me feel cynical toward him.
Then he started issuing indictments.

Also, other observers noted that this sort of prosecution
takes several years to carry out.
He's actually prosecuting a little more quickly
than other comparable cases have been prosecuted.

I am regaining my optimism about the Durham investigation.
But I do wish the crooks could be convicted more quickly!
