BREAKING: Danchenko NOT GUILTY

Igor Danchenko has been found not guilty on all 4 counts…

Previously, a judge had thrown out the 5th count against Danchenko due to a technicality and the semantics relating to the charge.

During the trial, it was revealed that Danchenko was paid roughly $220,000 by the F.B.I. for his informant work that “changed the nature” of how the F.B.I. conducted Russian counter-ops, according to one F.B.I. special agent.

According to the testimony of special agent Kevin Helson, the relationship was quite fruitful indeed…

Many are crying foul play and wonder if justice has been served in the ongoing Durham investigation. Previously Michael Sussmann was also found not guilty.

Some pundits blame John Durham’s lackluster performance, while others point to a more systemic problem with our system of justice…

Here’s more on the story:

A federal jury acquitted Russian analyst Igor Danchenko on Tuesday on four counts of lying to the FBI in what is expected to be the final case stemming from special counsel John Durham’s three-year probe into the origins of the agency’s investigation into alleged ties between former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.

The jury deliberated for more than 10 hours before reaching a verdict.

 

@TomFitton is our Justice system ruined?

They’re trying to put away Steve Bannon for 6 months. Sussman gets off and today Igor Danchenko gets off on all charges.

The FBI paid Igor Danchenko as an informant for years.

Christopher Steele used Danchenko as the primary sub-source for his dossier.

Now we know, Steele was offered $1 million to prove allegations made in his dossier and sourced by Danchenko.

All to get Trump.
