The Washington Post: The Danchenko Indictment Casts Some Slight Doubt On Some Previous Media Reporting on Russiagate

The Washington Post makes a large admission -- but makes it as small and stingy as possible, confining it to a single sentence with no elaboration and no promise of follow-up reportage.

I was trying to do a dramatic zoom-in of the line there. I don't think it worked.

I'd like to ask the Washington Post -- and NBC, and MSNBC, and ABC, and CNN, and the NYT -- which reporters they have assigned to the squad of reporters charged with reviewing past reportage and reporting it accurately this time.

They did this after minor reportorial sins as regards reporting too credulously on WMDs in Iraq. In this case, they were active participants in a hoax/Intelligence Community operation against a political party and the citizens of the United States.

So which reporters, and how many, will be assigned to the project of correcting the record? Of finding out how the press was manipulated -- or, in many cases, willingly enlisted itself in the project of running a psyops campaign against America?

The answer, is of course, that absolutely no one in the corporate media will be assigned to dig into this, because there are too many compromised, too many involved in the conspiracy. It would bring down the whole rotten system.

But every GOP official appearing on their shows should ask this question every time they appear.

Chuck Todd: Who at NBC is charged with re-reporting the Russiagate hoax?

Jake Tapper: You crowed about your role in setting up the Leak of the existence of the Clinton Dossier (not Steele Dossier, Clinton Dossier). '

James Comey said that he was talking with the media and that they wanted to report on the Clinton Dossier, but could not report on such a pack of unverified claims without a "news hook." Then John Brennan tried to get the Clinton Dossier included in the Daily Presidential Briefing but was blocked from doing so, so he paperclipped it to the briefing as an addendum.

Then he called you at CNN. Poof -- he'd provided you with your "news hook."

Did you -- or did a member of your team, Carl Bernstein, Evan Perez, or former Obama State Department Official Jim Sciutto -- collude with John Brennan to contrive this way to give the fake pack of partisan lies we now know as the Clinton Dossier a "news hook"?

If you didn't suggest it, were you aware at the time that this stratagem had been used to give an otherwise non-reportable pack of lies a "news hook" making it reportable? Did you feel ethical qualms about this?

Now knowing that you were a key, central, foundational, indispensable cog in this disinformation campaign, wither witting or unwitting, what responsibility do you feel to do some reportage instead of Democrat Party Stenography and reveal the true story of how the Clinton Dossier was transformed from febrile partisan conspiracy theory into CNN's main story from 2017 to 2019?

And if you don't do that -- are you not admitting that your role in this was not unwitting at all, but rather an intentional, knowing enlistment in a corrupt DNC/Intelligence Community operation to both subvert the 2016 election and then cripple a duly-elected, fairly chosen president?

Because I know you spend so much time telling us how deeply you care about protecting the integrity and honest functioning of our precious American democracy, and safeguarding it against corrupt interference.

Anderson Cooper: Who at CNN is charged with reviewing how CNN became an arm of Hillary Clinton's cynical disinformation campaign? How many hour long investigative specials do you plan to devote to uncovering the truth behind this nefarious foreign influence operation?

NPR: You are literally state media. You took part in a propaganda operation organized by the head of the CIA, the head of National Intelligence, and the Director of the FBI. Will you be assigning a crack team of reporters to review this, and to review your own role in propagating a conspiracy coordinated at the highest levels of the American government? Or do you plan to protect the conspiracy and by doing so, continue it?

NYT, Washington Post: You both received Pulitzer Prizes for your "reporting" of what is now exposed as a cynical campaign lie. Will you be returning these prizes? And who is assigned to attempt to earn you untainted Prizes in their place by reporting on what really happened?

There will be no review, there will be no post-mortem.

But they must be made to confess that -- over and over and over again.

The Washington Post's " " " fact-checker " " " and lineal descendant of Nazis Glenn Kesler says of the Clinton Dossier that a report is "only as good as its sources."

He omits to say that the Dossier's sources were also the Washington Post's sources-- David Ignatius, to name just one example, played stenographer for Christopher Steele's bullshit and the Washington Post published it.

Mongoose-with-a-cobra-in-his-teeth Sean Davis points out another one: By his own testimony, Clinton Operative and Danchenko's main "source" Charles Dolan was also a source for... the Washington Post on Russiagate.

Others point out that Nazi-spawn Glenn Kesler, who serves as the Washington Post's egregiously dishonest " " " fact-checker" " ", had many chances to check the facts of the Russiagate Conspiracy Theory, and always found the facts were just teeeee-rific!

National Review has, believe it or not, a useful recap of the indictment, which actually adds to our knowledge about the players. I'll bold the parts that are new or new-ish to me. In some cases, I knew the general, bullet-point story, but not the details.

Danchenko's background, which is worthy of a second-rate spy novel, came to light in late 2020, when a Justice Department inspector-general investigation was unsealed. A Russian citizen transplanted to Washington as a geopolitics scholar, he landed at the Brookings Institution, a prominent Clinton-friendly think-tank. In 2009, the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation of Danchenko. He had allegedly suggested to two Brookings staffers, who appeared to be headed for jobs in the Obama administration, that he could make it worth their while if they passed along classified information. The staffers (one of whom believed Danchenko must be a Russian agent -- imagine that!) instead passed along word of Danchenko's entreaty to the FBI. The Bureau learned that Danchenko appeared to be tied to two Russian agents who were also under investigation.
Agents prepared to seek national-security surveillance of Danchenko under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). But, in what would become an alarming theme, the FBI did not follow through and closed the investigation in March 2011, apparently believing that Danchenko had gone back to Russia.
In fact, he had begun working with Steele. Danchenko was introduced to Steele in 2010 by Fiona Hill, another Brookings Russia scholar.

The Brookings Institution is essentially -- not really, but, you know, essentially -- the foreign policy cover organization for the Clinton Foundation.

So how very strange that the Brookings Institution and its personnel have taken a lead, and I do mean lead role, in pushing the Clinton Dossier and Hillary Clinton's Russiagate Conspiracy Theory.

Hill, you may recall, was a Trump White House National Security Council member who provided key testimony in the House's impeachment of then-President Trump in the Ukraine kerfuffle. (Hill appears not to have been knowingly complicit in the unrelated Trump-Russia hype.)

Ah, National Review. Always simping for the left.

We don't know what we don't know. Why clear someone based on so little knowledge, so early in the process?

Stay Gold, pony-boy.

When Steele was recruited for the Clinton campaign's anti-Trump project in spring 2016, he relied on Danchenko to supply most of the information. Contrary to Steele's later claims, Danchenko did not have a network of useful contacts. But here again, Hill appears inadvertently to have advanced the plot. In 2016, she introduced Danchenko to Charles Dolan, a Russia-focused businessman and Democratic Party activist.

This woman keeps popping up as an indispensable part of Russiagate -- a Johnny Appleseed of conspiracy theory connections -- and National Review wants to claim her role is entirely unwitting?

Not to mention her later role in the second Trump impeachment.

Maybe she was just a pawn in Hillary's game.

But then again, maybe not.

Again, why are we rushing to absolve on so thin a record, so early in the investigation?

If only National Review had been this willing to vindicate Trump of Hillary Clinton's "Trump is a Russian Agent" conspiracy theory!

What is she, a National Review background source?

Dolan is identified in the indictment as "PR Executive-1" because he helped run a public-relations firm. He is a longtime Clinton insider, having worked on Bill Clinton's successful 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, as well as Hillary's failed 2008 and 2016 bids. In the interim, he was appointed by President Clinton to a State Department advisory committee. From 2006 until 2014, the Kremlin retained Dolan to be its global public-relations agent. For much of that time, conveniently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the Obama administration point-person on the "Russia Reset," in which the State Department promoted Russian economic development.

I did not know that. Dolan was himself literally a Kremlin agent!

And he worked for Hillary!

And Hillary's conspiracy theory about Trump was that he, Trump, had unsavory connections to Putin's Kremlin!

Now, put this in the additional context that Hillary Clinton's oppo research firm FusionGPS was simultaneously working directly for Vladimir Putin, attempting to drum up media and government support for overturning the Global Magnitsky Act,, which Putin did not like, because it gave governments the power to seize caches of his wealth (stolen from the Russian treasury) he had secreted in foreign banks.

Who's got Vladimir on speed-dial, you corrupt, pestilent cow of drunkard psycopath?

Read the article to see what you knew or suspected -- Dolan made a trip to Russia and reported that Trump had stayed in a hotel there. He said nothing of prostitutes or peeing. Danchenko just straight-up fabricated that.

Now this part I knew, but it's worth stressing its importance:

Danchenko lied about where his information was coming from. He hid the fact that it was coming from Charles Dolan. Had he admitted that, his "information" would have been more obviously a partisan pack of lies coming straight from the diseased drunkard mouth of Hillary Clinton.

But he needed to claim it came from somewhere.

So he lied and claimed it came from Sergei Millian, a Russian businessman who had light dealings with Trump and who had started the "Russian-American Chamber of Commerce" to boost his US profile.

This lie hid the true source, while contriving a false source which would give Danchenko's claims the thinnest veneer of plausibility.

Trouble was, of course, that Sergei Millian denied, vehemently, ever talking to Danchenko or having any knowlede of any of this.

Sergei Miliam should -- must -- sue Danchenko, Christopher Steele, Perkins-Coie, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton for President, and the DNC for defamation.

And we should crowdfund this lawsuit to "fortify" it with a bankroll of about five or eight million dollars -- conditioned on Millian not being allowed to settle, and being absolutely aggressive in pursuing discovery.

Below, former DNI John Ratcliffe says he expects "many indictments" from Durham.

The maximum sentence for what Clinesmith was charged for is 2 years. That's what Durham asked for but the DC judge, of course, watered it down.

That's why it's a pretty big deal Durham charged Danchenko in EDVA, a more conservative friendly district. He could have done DC, he chose EDVA.

I also think Clinesmith is cooperating. He was a pretty minor player in the grand scheme of things but he was there for the entire Special Counsel and must have heard and seen a lot.

Yup, that's just it. Anyone expecting justice to come from any part of this should have been disabused by the Clinesmith affair. He was an obvious patsy from the start, they give him a slap on the wrist, and then they *undid* that wrist-slap and his punishment ended up being ... nothing.

They might, at the very most, indict or even convict some foreigner. Nobody in the government or the press will pay. No one. If anyone from those ranks is indicted and convicted, it will be undone just like with Clinesmith. He was the last gasp in this. It is impossible to reasonably expect that anyone will be made to pay after watching that corrupt debacle.

2. I remember Rosanne Barr years ago talking about something similar, where media people would call in a phony complaint about her abusing her kids, and the State was obligated to respond, and when they did, it gave the media the "news hook" to report on allegations they knew to be false. At the time, I thought she was nuts (I still kinda do, but hey...). Now? I totally buy it.

69 53 I have just figured a way to determine the number of illegals in the country. A new poll day 8% strongly support and another 10% support Niden's reparations to illegals. This puts the number of illegals at between 24 and 48 million. Of course, this could also just measure the number of truly stupid people in our country, but it seems low to me.

Trump won in 2020, hence the last second, panicky ballot box stuffing in the middle of the night across six states after months of cheating through mail in voting mechanisms.

He'll win bigger in 2024. The only question is whether there will have been enough cleanup of election processes to allow the people's will to stand.

My hope in all of this was that we would be able to cut out as much of the corruption in our government as possible and prosecute as many of the guilty as can be proved, pretty much in that order. I like vengeance but I love my country and I want it back.

Only vote in person, if you don't care enough to be there to vote? that is your choice.

ID everyone.

Only absentee ballots? Military, or Embassy personnel assigned overseas, and THEY have to vote in person, before an election Judge.

Polls open nationwide for 24 hours... the SAME 24 hours... with no polling outside the voting locations allowed.

I have a curiosity question for you. If you believe that the election was rigged and the road for that rigging was cleared to make it successful (the corruption of the courts, the congress, the press, etc.), how do you also believe that anyone will be made be to pay for the long-running attempted coup conspiracy? Why would the malefactors be made to pay in the coup activity, but not in the election theft? They are of similar import and severity, though the election fraud was worse. That *worse* event had no consequences, so why would the lesser event in the same category have a less unjust outcome?

I believe the Media jumped the shark when they decided they were no longer Reporters, but Journalists.

A report is a factual document. A Journal is personal observations, like how you feel, or see, something.

The name change signaled the shift, from factual reporting, to how they 'perceive' an event.

All of the 'evidence' for Russian collusion by Trump is false and absurd on its surface. A child wouldn't believe it. The only thing that made this attempted railroading go forward was Federal agencies, elected officials, and news media taking whatever was left of their latent institutional credibility and public respect, piling it up, and burning it up like a Viking funeral.

They continuously interfered with Trump's presidency, made failed attempts to remove him from office, and finally stole an election.

Ashes now. They've shot their wad. Their only option now is raw tyranny with no pretense of following any law.

They basically shot themselves in the foot, by trying to pretend that a well-known 70 year old American celebrity, whose life everyone has followed like a "real housewives" episode, was actually a Russian spy, all along.

It was absurd, and the more they pushed it, the more people started to doubt their credibility.

If you believe that the election was rigged and the road for that rigging was cleared to make it successful (the corruption of the courts, the congress, the press, etc.), how do you also believe that anyone will be made be to pay for the long-running attempted coup conspiracy?

In the last thread I was told that the process was the punishment for Kyle. Does that not apply to Democrats?

Both Elias and Sussmann were forced to quit their jobs at Perkins Coie where both were senior partners at the biggest Democrat law firm in the country which affectively ended their election division as Elias took it with him

They had to be pulling in $500K/year each. I don't know about you but that would hurt my budget. And now Sussmann has a felony indictment with a lawyer of his very own with the meter running and Durham can keep it running for a very long time.

Danchenko has 5 indictments and nowhere near the means. And he is being tried in the more conservative friendly district of EDVA.

And we are just getting started. Do I expect I will get everything I want? Of course not, I never do. But the worm needed to turn and it has.

Mid twentieth, and it is because of radio and television. Radio and TV was the first incidence of a bandwidth throughput limitation. Because there are only so many channels, there became a state interest in divvying them up. This is where FCC leases come from. The radio spectrum is owned by "the people" (the state) and access is controlled by the state. In unlicensed bands (WiFi, portable landline phones, etc.), it is a crapshoot and interference is allowed. In licensed bands like radio and TV and cell phones, interference is not permitted.

To institute fairness, people with leases to licensed spectrum space can't be political hacks, at least not on paper and not officially. This is why the "balanced" and "unbiased" journalism canard was born. They had to pretend to be neutral to get access. It was always a fiction.

248 I always thought the very concept of Putin preferring Trump over Hillary "Reset Button" Clinton to be ridiculous on its face. I think it was (cleverly) used to pull in establishment NeverTrump Republicans who still harbored anti-Russian sentiment.

Clearly this was an extremely successful Putin op. The end result is that Putin has now achieved his number-one foreign policy goal, the Nordstream 2 pipeline, which will enable him to make billions more selling natural gas to Western Europe while bypassing his noisome neighbors in Eastern Europe. The Trump admin opposed the pipeline, while one of the Biden admin's first acts was to approve it.

What I don't understand is why Trump didn't more successfully argue against the sheer absurdity of the conspiracy. I guess when the entire IC is against you, with the support of your own party's most influential members (such as McCain), it's really hard to win these kinds of battles.

286 >>> 263 >>They made hay while the sun shined. I disagree with you and I have for some time, but as always I am open to being proved wrong. I don't think the worm has turned and I don't think anything substantial comes of it. If Clinesmith had been punished, perhaps I could still hold out hope, but they undid his punishment.

That's ok, I disagree with you too and depending on the definition of substantial big things are already happening.

The DC courts are a problem, no doubt. That's why Clinesmith got a wrist slap, not Durham. Durham has now tipped his hand that 1) he is pursuing a conspiracy, likely to defraud the US government and 2) he doesn't mind going outside DC. A conspiracy charge can be brought in any district where the conspiracy occurred even a little.

Durham has sent corrupt FBI agents to jail for a lot less.

I will be absolutely shocked if there are indictments of any important domestic operator, let alone a trial. These people skate. These people walk. These people smirk while committing their crimes, then cash their checks and fly off to global conferences to consolidate their unaccountable power. It's what they do.

This kind of response from someone who just did something awful and/or illegal is always cute. "We need better people to stop me and others from doing bad things!"

Oh, so YOU shot someone because you, as producer, were too cheap to hire weapons staff who are experienced, and you, as actor, were too careless and jokey to not check the chamber and to not aim the gun at the staffer and fire -- and your solution is to task *someone else* with the reponsibility of policing the behavior of every other actor who is at this point is not a murderer.

He has built an unassailable case that fingers all of the bad guys with mountains of perfect evidence that no reasonable person could even glance at without coming up with "yeah, they did it and have to pay."

Second, some enterprising video person needs to do a montage of each networks reporting on this over the five year period and show a graphic of how many MONTHS of coverage this got, not to mention direct overlay of the hoax against the 2018 and 2020 elections. What, exactly, is a coup d'etat if not this? Government employees and quasi-government employees (DNC-loyal media) conspiring to throw elections, impeach a President, destroy the lives of innocent people, force taxpayers to spend millions (billions?) litigating this not to mention the opportunity cost. Note bene: the Russia hoax was a huge factor in the 2018 midterms and doubtlessly dragged Trump down for 2020.

No R should appear on any TV news show until the guilty are brought to account and each network and newspaper does a thorough housecleaning and review. Resignations or firings would be the appropriate outcome in an actual republic.

I am not talking about bias. You can be true and accurate, but biased. A biased press is unavoidable, and the closest we came to a neutral press was with the network news during their post war heyday.

But the newspapers "of record," like the times, wp, jounral, etc. all tried to be true and accurate and would have cringed if caught out in a lie. Remember the scandals in the 80s and 90s with reporters making shit up, and how they lost their jobs. Hell, they would be given pulitzers today.

360 Just found out a co-worker who was vaccinated I think in April has the coof. He is not in hospital but feels pretty sick and has been sick for a week already. He is kind of blaming himself, went to Vegas a couple weeks ago cuz his wife had some work conference and had not gotten a booster yet. But, also he thought he had protected himself from getting sick by getting fully vaccinated this spring.

Just one more data point for why I have zero faith in the CDC or the FNM.

371 The "price" paid, even if a few middle-mucks have to plead to something, is an absolute bargain, when looked at from the bigger picture (which is the important one).

Trump was hobbled, there may have been some effect on 2018 and 2020. That is tremendous payoff, beyond anything usually seen in politix.

The Dems paid an historically high price - nominally, temporarily - for O-care. O-care is still there. Dems never lost the whip-hand on much of importance, save for the few anomalous years of Trump.

Of course the GOP being dishonest and feckless, and most of its voters pretty stupid loyal tribalists, is also key in all this. But O-care in place (forever, notwithstanding its predictable disastrous results), and Trump hobbled and removed - those are epochal gainzzz. 1 or 2 bad election cycles, and a few people in jail (for a few months) - is a fire-sale price.

Special prosecutors can challenge their dismissal in court--for cause, just like good behavior has a particular legal component.

Anyway, I really do not think the faction of Obamaworld gives a crap about the Clintonites faction wise and Clintonworld is where the conspiracy was based. Heck, the Biden folks probably welcome inside DC baseball stuff that doesn't threaten their key operatives. Coverage of Russiagate crowds out the endless scandals of the Biden junta and might raise the leftist crowds against the special prosecutor ala Clinton in the 90's.

This is just the current form of fascism at work. The OSHA mandate is almost certainly illegal / unconstitutional.

But the Biden administration doesn't care. It's only purpose was to goad companies into requiring vaccination as a condition of employment. Too many companies are going to go along with it, even if its not technically mandated -- or even if the mandate is held in abeyance due to court injunctions.

This is the beauty of POOTUS outsourcing enforcement of this mandate to private enterprise. With the so-called 'Muslim Ban', when the Hawaiian judge froze implementation, all government entities had to comply when Trump stood down and let his challenge work its way through the system. Private business is not directly controlled by government, so POOTUS can still jawbone away.

435 Also, jakee said earlier, the problem is that post-Watergate, journalists became activists.

What's funny is that this started off kind of okay. For instance, we all love to make fun of Geraldo Rivera (for good reason), but his first big expose was about a New York childrens psychiatric hospital that was abusing the kids and letting them live in filth. That place needed to be shut down and Geraldo was on the side of the angels, then.

But today it's all about fame, fortune and promoting leftism for the 'crusading reporters.'

At this point, I probably am. It would depend on the dictator. The republic is dead. Law is dead. We have the arbitrary rule of ideological purity and political convenience. A dictatorship - which we essentially have, albeit with a disconnected and conflicted group of dictators instead of a single guy in command - would indeed mark the end of the country. But the country has ended. It's past tense. The political demarcations still exist, but the power and legal systems on which those political demarcations exist are by all appearances null and void anyway. The country such at is will continue on inertia and greater tyranny and extraction of wealth and compliance, but it cannot thrive. Such systems do not thrive, they merely consume until they run out of slaves.

I think what the good guys are trying to do is avoid a situation like the fall of Rome, where whoever's got the strong men (military) on their side, wins by brute force.

I think they're trying to make the framework work, so that it doesn't devolve into that.

The Republicans likely will flip the House and may get a Senate majority if a free and fair election is permitted in 2022.

They will have done NOTHING to earn either.

I won't vote again in all likelihood and definitely not while the grotesque visages of McCarthy and McConnell are in leadership.

451 Said it before, will repeat (sorry). Watch for the GOP's "theme" or "agenda" in the campaign (the never-ending campaign - basically campaigns are permanent now in America, thanks to the explosion of govt. influence on all of life and the shortage of Americans now alive).

In 2010, before the largest partisan wave victory in modern history, the GOP was so furious they were being pressed to campaign on *something, some actual specific issues* that the anger wasn't even concealed in public comments. They finally slapped together something that of course was to their subsequent behavior "in power" as the Soviet constitution was to actual govt. practice in the USSR.

McCarthy, who's one of the more pathetic of the GOP empty suits, beclowned himself in 2018 when - for the first time in his "career" - he suddenly developed an intense interest in border security, and held an event at the border. *A few weeks before the mid-terms*. This kind of comically craven and transparent insincere stunt reflects a particular assessment of GOP voters, a correct one.

463 My concern with the Durham probe and these initial indictments is that there has been little employment of the media to discredit them. If they were truly close to bringing down important players, ones that the media use often as figure heads of the party they hold their allegiance to, there would surely be an uproar of scorn of these cases.

And, yet...nothing. Either they are cowed into frighten silence, which I highly doubt given their fairly low level of analytical ability, or they know that this never reaches any level they need be concerned over and thus require the hive swarm of scorn and denial that usually ensues.

Nothing sends the media into a wagon circling mode faster than the threat that their rice bowls (ie the Dem party) is about to take some sort of hit. There is none of that over the Durham indictments. Does last word goes to "That guy who says Nothing is Happening?" I hope not.

465 The Big Media outlets (NYT especially) HAD the unredacted Carter Page FISA application supplied to them via convicted Select Senate Comm. Intel. Chief of Security Wolfe (age 56) who sent it by 94 text photo messages to his slut girlfriend Ali Watkins at the NYT (age 26) at the behest of Sen. Mark Dicknose Warner (D-VA). Problem was, as per Sundance at Conservative Treehouse, an FBI agent, Brian Duggan, had been investigating leaks from the SSCI and when Warner requested the FBI's copy of the FISA warrant, he got the copy of the FISA Court's which had time stamps; and he added some incorrect dates, to track it. When Warner found out and Mueller/Weissman had to make this go away , they had the NTY get a FOIA request TO THE FISA court to get THAT copy....and got it in 6 days (FISA NEVER RELEASES STUFF)... Knowing this, watch the SSCI hearing with Comey with Warner's smug speech. What a scumbag.
