New Twists in Durham Probe: FBI Danchenko
Recordings and Suspicions Fiona Hill Lied

Original Article

The indictment of Igor Danchenko, the “primary sub-source” of Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier, reveals that the FBI electronically recorded several previously undisclosed interviews with the Brookings Institution researcher. Separately, it raises suspicions, according to congressional sources, that his Brookings superior Fiona Hill may have committed perjury when testifying about Steele during President Trump’s first impeachment. The existence of electronic records of Danchenko speaking to the FBI far more extensively than previously known creates the possibility that much more will come out about the origins of the Steele dossier and the way the opposition research was weaponized. And those under scrutiny in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation of the origins of

Comments:

Fiona Hill gave sworn testimony in the Trump impeachment. It could be that Danchenko-FBI interviews, far more numerous than was known before and the recording of which was not known, could indicate that she was lying in her impeachment testimony..

I never trusted Hill. And when will Comey and McCabe, and the rest of the crooked FBI criminals be indicted?

Not only did we not trust Hill, we did not like her imperious attitude. Seeing her be a casualty of the Durham investigation for lying to a House impeachment committee (Schiff’s, as I recall) while under oath would be ur pleasure. FTA: Asked whether she was “aware of any interaction between Mr. Steele and Ukrainians,” Hill did not say “to the best of my recollection” or “I don’t remember specifically,” or even a simple “no.” Instead she expanded her answer to deny not only any knowledge of Steele and Ukrainians, but to deny any knowledge of anything Steele-related: “I have no knowledge whatsoever of how he developed that dossier. None. I just want to state that.” Lawmakers are particularly interested in that statement. The Danchenko indictment states that Hill introduced Danchenko both to Steele and to an unnamed public relations executive, since identified as Charles Dolan Jr., a Hillary Clinton ally. Republican members of the House Permanent Select Committee are questioning whether Hill could have had “no knowledge whatsoever” of how the dossier was developed when she had a central role in connecting those key players. RealClearInvestigations was unable to reach Hill through her former attorney.

It's amazing and extremely disappointing that a once great country like The USA could be so manipulated, lied to, fooled and embarrassed by such Machiavellian criminals and petty thugs like the Clinton's. The whole country was undermined and possibly destroyed by egotistical greed and need for their extreme narcissism. How are the Clinton's and their minions any different than the mafia. That anyone still respects and admires the Clinton's, especially the evil witch Hellary is mindbogglingly depressing and shameful. How can so many people be so outright naive if not totally stupid and blind? I just don't get it. And the same for the senile Bi-DUMB and the always embarrassing giggle queen VP Kamala Harris. What in the world is wrong with America? We are a laughing stock for the world now. It's worse than very embarrassing,..it's scary. I hope that we surive this.

Bear in mind she is a Dual citizen, UK and US, didn't become a US citizen until 2002, was educated in Russia as a foreign exchange student...also was employed by NBC during that time period, as their Russian News stringer. Her "Promotion" into a Trump advisor position was a "Staff" promotion, she was next in line. Not because she was a Trump appointee/insider. She and Bolton were "close" though. She co-authored a book with Deshenko, knew Steel from his MI6 days, and/or from his Moscow Postings. Knew Dolan from Atlantic Council...and Council on Foreign Relations,and Trilateral Commission, KNEW Dolan was the official PR rep for Russia, even though he never registered...also close to Susan Rice.

In May 2009, the FBI opened a preliminary investigation into Danchenko after he had reportedly told two associates from the Brookings Institution that he knew of a way they could "make a little extra money” if they were able to "get a job in the government and had access to classified information.” The investigation was upgraded from preliminary to full once further information revealed that Danchenko had prior contacts with Russian intelligence officers in 2005 and 2006

As Fiona Hill was a witness at Donald Trump's impeachment hearing, wouldn't this make Hill's testimony tainted and while probably not possible, grounds for reversal of any guilty votes relating to his impeachment? If she was involved in the crime which "framed" Donald Trump leading to impeachment, shouldn't the entire thing be thrown out? Just wondering? Maybe I have the entire mess mixed up with one impeachment over the other but either way, just goes to show that the entire impeach Donald Trump scam was tainted and Democrats knew it, witnesses knew it, and all deserve to be punished for the damage they have done to this nation.

If you were lucky, you might’ve seen billionaire oil heiress Ivy Love Getty strut up San Fransisco City Hall’s red carpet-lined steps in her couture wedding gown last weekend. Or, you might’ve witnessed police contain hundreds of homeless onlookers, making sure none of them ruined Getty’s picture-perfect frame. For the Saturday nuptials, Getty paid the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Office a hefty $42,314 — which presumably helped cover the cost of keeping homeless populations out of the way and clearing the tents, trash, human feces, and heroine needles lining the streets — all so she and celebrity photographer Tobias Engel could have their fairytale wedding, complete with plenty of California elites.

Eight years ago, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping suggested problems were eminent for party officials who choose to become “naked officials.” He was referring to those who send their spouses, children, and money abroad to make it easier to “jump ship” whenever they want to. Just recently, the CCP media reiterated Xi’s words criticizing party officials for being physically in China, but mentally abroad. To draw attention to this matter, the CCP Central Discipline Inspection Commission recently quoted an article published in the Study Times telling the story of three “naked officials” and suggesting there are more. The first was Cao Jianliao, the former vice mayor of Guangzhou city.

His investigation into suspected wrongdoing by FBI officials in launching the Trump-Russian collusion investigation was viewed as a laughingstock by former President Donald Trump and his supporters. They mocked the investigation for taking more than two years to produce only one guilty plea.

From the moment Donald Trump announced his presidential aspirations in June 2015, he has dominated the political landscape. Trump's turn in the spotlight has persisted for so long that it seems impossible to get away from him. Both his critics and fans are many. Though Democrats control the White House and Congress, they are eager to remind others of the Trumpian loyalty still alive within the Republican Party. But when it comes to elections, there is no placing Trump on a ballot if he is not running. This truth played itself out on the Nov. 2 election night.

Although Adams found common ground with the activists on plans to fight poverty in the black community, the former NYPD captain said he’ll be reinstating a revamped version of the undercover anti-crime unit that was disbanded at the height of widespread police protests last year.

"There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now." Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said.
