If you recall that FBI mystery man Joe Pientka ordered a "Human Source Validation Review" (HSVR) for Steele in early Nov. 2016 after Pientka found a lot of inconsistencies that didn't match up with what he was seeing. Pientka testified in his Senate deposition that this Review was cancelled by Bill Priestap, and Peter Strzok.

During the first week of February 2017, not long after the first Danchenko interview in early January, Priestap finally reauthorized the HSVR for Steele in February 2017 that he had cancelled when Pientka first ordered it in early November 2016.



Going back re-reading this IG report, There is so much fluff work Horowitz completely ignores the entire sequence of events that lead up to the re-opening of the HSVR, never commenting on fact that the HSVR was restarted shortly after the first interview of Danchenko. The only reference to any motivation for restarting the HSVR is the brief mention in the footnote, with no reference to the Danchenko interview. and this one paragraph in the report.



It's almost like they though Danchenko was completely irrelevant to this entire thing and now the SOB is indicted for lying in multiple interviews with the FBI. Neither Horwitz or Mueller say a work about Danchenko lying or misleading or anything. A complete whitewash on Danchenko, until Durham got the declassified files from Ratcliffe and unearths all this.

Another thing Horowitz reported as a point of controversy over the HSVR report said that it had not corroborated Steele's garbage. If there were corroboration it would be noted. But if the HSRV reviewed second source reporting of the same information obtained from the CHS (Danchenko) and came up with a finding of "lack of corroboration" that only means that there was no such second source reporting found, and not that the primary source information that was under review leaving it open and unanswered that the dossier wasn't necessarily inaccurate. Both Mueller and Horowitz just let is stand and they continued to use it in the FISA court.

Remember that Kash Patel went to work for DOD but in fact was working with Ratcliffe to unearth as much as they could that Haspel and Wray had been hiding. Patel pointed out to Ratliffe that Danchenko's first interview was in the 57 page "Electronic Communication" supposedly written by Senior FBI Analyst Brian Auten. That EC states at the start that David Laufman, who in 2016 helped oversee the Hillary Clinton use of a private email server in 2016 and was handing out immunity like tic tacs. Laufman became the Chief of the Counterespionage and Export Control Section of the National Security Division of DOJ, gave Danchenko a Proffer Agreement at the beginning of his first interview.

All this by Laufman was kept under wraps so no one had an understanding of the precise nature and limitations of this Proffer Agreement. But Patel's finding revealed the is was a "use immunity" Proffer. Aggiehawg loves to call it a "Queen for a Day" letter. The terms of such a letter typically provide that the interview is taking place under ground rules that prevent the prosecution from using the actual statements made by the person being interviewed in any case later brought against that person. But that goes out the window if you lie to the FBI, which is what Durham is nailing Danchenko on. SO Danchenkos interview basically turned into a confession he's caught dead to right on. And with the length of that indictment and all the people that are also implicated in it, Durham is going to get his pound of flesh.

Danchenko is currently represented by a D.C. attorney named Mark Schamel. The name of Danchenko's defense attorney who went with him to his January 2017 interview is redacted in the EC, but Schamel's name fits the number of characters under the redaction mark according to a couple of Twitter Sleuths . So, for now I'm going to say that Schamel was with Danchenko in the January 2017 interviews, and Schamel was who negotiated the Queen for a Day letters with Laufman.

Another thing to note is that the minute Durham took over and started searching upstream from all these Danchenko interviews that had been kept under wraps, David Laufman decided it was time to retire and go into private practice in Feb 2018. He knew the cat was out of the bag and he exited stage left.

I know a ot of us, myself included have been frustrated as hell with the slow pace of Durham but if you really look deep into this with this new indictment and then go back and match up Durham's findings against the Horowitz and Mueller reports, you can see just how murkey these swamp waters are and how much crap he's had to weed through. Had it not been for Ratcliffe and Kash Patel, all of this would still be buried.

How soon until we see action Against Fiona Hill. She's definitely lied to congress, curious if she's lied to Durham?




Her nonsense that she only learned of what was going on about the dossier until she saw it in the press and then it being published by Buzzfeed? Durham has already determined that it Was Hill who introduced Charles Dolan to Danchenko and Danchenko to Steele. FIona Hill is neck deep in this Dossier nonsense, and so is the Brookings Institute.




I'm going back through Fiona Hill's closed door testimony (400+ pages) and she lies repeatedly to congress. If she told Durham the same things, she's toast or She Flips on those above her, and given her status that not too many levels to the top.

We could probably cut DoD significantly if we got an honest, thorough audit. My guess is 80% nonexistent soldiers is the tip of the iceberg.

From Hill, is it only a hop, skip and a jump to Bolton? He hired her.

Actually she's a two for. McMaster hired her originally when he fired all Flynn's people, and when McMaster was out, Hill was going to leave but Bolton convinced her to stay over.

For others like me with bad memory he is the judge that gave Clinesmith probation for doctoring evidence and submitting it for a FISA warrant.
James E. Boasberg is a traitor.
from the article
Quote:

The judge responsible for punishing an attorney who helped the FBI abuse its powers to target a political campaign and then a presidency with a collusion hoax that poisoned our politics for years is concerned about the criminal's personal search for meaning? Instead of community service, perhaps Judge Boasberg should have just ordered Clinesmith to live, laugh and love.

democracy-shattering conduct that the Trump administration pushed

I've yet to see 1 single person follow this type of statement with an actual, verifiable example. Like every single other liberal accusation lodged towards non-liberals, it is 100% projection of what it means/is to be a liberal.

Passing this case around like a hot potato

This Page v Comey lawsuit under discovery is likely to be a toxic waste dump of corruption and these justices are looking for any level of conflict of interest to avoid getting tied to it.

Friedrich is also a Trump appointee. She's pretty exceptional, imho.

No idea on the two recusals but remember everyone (meaning 95% of Dems) in DC is married to/inbred professionally with someone this case is touching on. It's entirely possible recusal would be preferred for some of their partisans in black robes vs. having to take orders on how to dispose of this stuff.

Certainly, he had to use sequestered evidence to even file the indictment, no? I can't imagine this being an issue.
