Igor Danchenko
Business Analyst
Target Labs Inc.
8320 Old Courthouse Rd, Suite 200
Vienna, VA 22182
+1-202-679-5323

---

At the time, Danchenko listed Target Labs, an IT recruiter run by ethnic-Russians, as an employer on his resum. But technically, he was not a paid employee there. Thanks to a highly unusual deal Steele arranged with the company, Danchenko was able to use Target Labs as an employment front.

It turns out that in 2014, when Danchenko first started freelancing regularly for Steele after losing his job at a Washington strategic advisory firm, he set out to get a security clearance to start his own company. But drawing income from a foreign entity like Steele's London-based company, Orbis Business Intelligence, would hurt his chances. He was desperate to find a salaried position with a U.S.-based firm, he told the FBI.

So Steele agreed to help him broker a special "arrangement" with Target Labs, where a Russian friend of Danchenko's worked as an executive, in which the company would bring Danchenko on board as an employee but not put him officially on the payroll. Danchenko would continue working for Steele and getting paid by Orbis with payments funneled through Target Labs. In effect, Target Labs served as the "contract vehicle" through which Danchenko was paid a monthly salary for his work for Orbis, the FBI memo reveals.

Though Danchenko had a desk available to use at Target Labs, he did most of his work for Orbis from home and did not take direction from the firm. Steele continued to give him assignments and direct his travel. Danchenko essentially worked as a ghost employee at Target Labs.

Asked about it, a Target Labs spokesman would only say that Danchenko "does not work with us anymore.".....

Article provides a great deal of additional info about Danchenko.

So, Steele and Danchenko conspired to fraudulently obtain a security clearance for Danchenko?

In on 1200!

I love getting new and/or additional information about these buttheads involved. I'm rarely ever shocked, or surprised anymore, but I still get angry only because it took this long to get someone like Durham involved.

Hell, I'd still like to get a special counsel. I do believe Durham will indict many of the bad guys through conspiracy, or other types of criminal statutes, but IMO, Durham will leave a lot of meat on the bone, so to speak. Based on my brief reading of his Bulger/FBI investigation, there were many others he could have included many others in his indictments.

Sundance is continuing on his quest. He apparently made significant contacts in DC. Still obscure, but from the photo, it must have something to do with the leak of Carter Page's FISA by James Wolfe.

So is this pay arrangement conspiracy to commit wire fraud ?

Today on Hannity, John Solomon seemed to think this was a pretty big deal.

Keep in mind it isn't just Durham any more. There's like three US attorneys looking at aspects of this mess.

Although this holds little humor, has anyone else ever seen "Barr/Durham" and thought of Bull Durham?

Just wondered if I was the only one. There's got to be a meme out there someplace.

Carry on!

Three years, three attorneys, zero indictments. Soooooooo unimpressed by FBI and DOJ.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) released a partially redacted version of its report on the origin of the infamous, Obama-Admin 'Intelligence Community Assessment' (ICA). It's very interesting as it details a series of lengthy arguments by officials of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, etc. of whether or not the Steele Dossier should or should not be included in the ICA...because everybody knew it was not reliable/not validated. In fact, the NSA knew nothing about it, & Clapper claimed he had only heard about it in mid December from Brennan. Comey was the one who insisted it be included...Brennan didn't want it included. When you read this, it becomes clear why Durham has been investigating the ICA. So, you can read it here (heavily redacted in the beginning, then opens up):

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Report_Volume4_Excerpt.pdf


Now below is a lengthy analysis of the above document, including other pertinent facts/activities that relate to it, & I'll post a portion of it:

https://meaninginhistory.blogspot.com/2020/07/what-to-take-from-senates-ica-report.html#more

........
1. It's clear that the ICA was special ordered from the highest levels. Obama ordered it, but one assumes that there had to have been high level discussions before the decision was made. Those discussions probably involved both the Obama camp as well as the Clinton camp. After all, the Steele "dossier" was Clinton property--they had contracted for it, paid for it, and had already been putting it to use by the time the ICA was written. Getting it into the ICA, mainstreaming it as somehow an intel product rather than a political campaign product, was a big deal. And that was true no matter what caveats CIA analysts may have added.

2. Despite his testimony to the Senate, it seems clear that Comey was the driving force behind getting the dossier into the ICA. Certainly that comes across as the CIA's understanding of the dynamics. There are hints that the FBI's Bill Priestap--its top CI official--wasn't totally committed, but Comey and disgraced former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe come across as determined. The question, then, is: Was Comey acting strictly on his own, or was he colluding with political operatives, whether from the Obama or Clinton camps, or both? Durham has surely been exploring that angle.

3. John Brennan comes across as rather clever in pointing the finger at Comey in his Senate testimony. This explains why Durham was so eager to get his hands on communications between Comey and Brennan, rather than having to rely on their testimony. What seems clear to me is that if Brennan had insisted, had really gone to the mat in support of the CIA analysts, the dossier could have been excluded from the ICA. Brennan was positioning himself.

4. While the ICA was presented as the assessment of the Intel Community as a whole, it's more clear than ever from this report that the matter of the dossier was strictly between the FBI and CIA--no other agency was truly involved--and Brennan positioned the FBI to shoulder any responsibility.

5. While the CIA analysts may not have been aware of the political provenance of the dossier material, the people at the FBI pushing for its inclusion in the ICA most certainly were fully aware that this was Clinton campaign material. They were also aware of just how unreliable it probably was and the FBI's failure to vet the material was raised insistently by the CIA analysts. Not only was this political provenance concealed from anyone reading the ICA as well as from the CIA analysts, but the fact that the FBI made no attempt to amend or revise the ICA after the Danchenko interview--just three weeks after the ICA came out--is damning evidence of Comey's conspiratorial intent against the president............

I still want to know the intelligence that spooked Comey into "reopening" the Hillary investigation close to the election. Amazing that the media can dig deep and find out classified info when it wants but still so many aspects of all of this remains unknown because media does not want to expose it.

The window is closing fast for these prosecutors. Chop chop!

Finally. What took so long? (I wonder if this involves Sundance.)

Barr indicated that when he was responding to Jordan at the hearing. I noted how Barr's demeanor changed when formulating answers on that topic. Jordan had asked specifically about Michael Flynn's unmasking. Barr expanded it from there.

In any event we should hopefully get confirmation one way or the other on whether Fusion GPS was one of those contractors.

What we can't know (or actually don't know) is if any of the sealed indictments that have been building up in Fed courts across the country since 2017, are related to a lot of the info we are seeing now, and the "players" we now know were involved in it.

My understanding is that when an indictment is issued, the SOL clock stops...

There were / are a lot of sealed indictments backlogged, something north of 60,000, and normally there are 1,000 - 1,500. Not intending to cross threads here, but Qanon.pub has a tracking page on it, I believe...

That is correct. I have no opinion on how many sealed indictments are actually out there.

Apologize for site reference...it is actually qmap.pub, and it shows 160,000+ sealed, but that might be local jurisdiction plus federal...look for the justice scales on the left, towards the bottom...

What is this about?

Again referencing Solomon from Friday on Hannity, he said stuff will start to be public in August with indictments or Durham "report" around Labor day.

Shipwrecked crew has an article today noting/discussing why the NYT anonymous piece (and various other leftist talking heads) are so wrong about Danchenko having been wronged to be outed;

Quote:

Danchenko didn't fit any of these classifications. Steele lost his promise of confidentiality when he violated his "source agreement" by talking to the press, and telling people he was working with the FBI. He "outed" himself.
Casey not only did this work, he supervised this work at the highest level in the field. Wait to see if any actual FBI officials current or retired come out to contradict what he has written today.
When none do and I'm sure they won't remember you can dismiss without a second thought the "anonymous" sources on this subject that reporters from the NYT tell you have a different opinion.

Excellent read. Makes one wonder if Durham had a healthy number of "confidential informants" providing tips ... that won't be used as witnesses.

Fascinating background thread about David Laufman. In 2014 he was appointed as the DOJ's Chief of the National Security Division's Counterintelligence Section, & for starters, we know him from his dealings in HRC's email investigation, Carter Page's FISA, & his interview of Steele's Primary Sub-source in January 2017. What you likely don't know is his background prior to joining Team Obama. He started out as a CIA analyst in the 1980s, but then he became affiliated with elements of the Republican Party in the 1990s, & I think you will be surprised to learn about his significant dealings especially with George W. Bush & Carl Rove, not to mention other prominent members of the DC Swamp. Remember, the Deep State includes both Republicans & Democrats.

Biden wins, and interferes with a us attorney's open investigation to which he or close associates may be subjects...obstruction of justice becomes an issue for him. Of course the house would protect him.

Do remember and SOLID GOLD POINT! Main reason there haven't been any indictments. HOPE I'M WRONG.

Interesting 'coincidence' regarding Laufman & the leaking of Sergie Millian's name as a source for Steele's Dossier by the WSJ. Remember, we learned from Horowitz's report that Laufman was instrumental in negotiating with Danchenko's attorney for the January 2017 interview with the FBI, & that Laufman personally was present on the first day of the three day interview.

So, now we get to see on which side Gina Haspel stands...is she clean as Trump may have hoped she would be? Or is she a C_A counterpart of Christopher Wray...

Yes indeed! This is such and incredible web of intrigue and deception, discerning truth from it all can only be done through revelation of the Holy Spirit, truly!

Due to the fact that I occasionally get confused as to who's investigation were paying attention to, I can't tell who's seen what evidence, and from whom.

I suspect, and hope, that Durham has already seen all of this stuff. If so, then I'll survive. My uneducated opinion is that the House and the Senate would bluster and blather without doing anything anyway. Yes, it would be wonderful for this stuff to be public, and those two governing bodies would be much more likely to be "newsworthy" rather than Durham's results.

Besides, most folks in the media won't be able to understand all of the intricacies of Durham's massive report, even though we probably won't see it. Although I'm sure every Dem on the Hill will willingly translate.

It's my understanding that when the NYPD came into possession of Anthony Weiner's laptop that they threatened to go public and that's what forced Comey's hand.

True??
