The trial of Igor Danchenko shows how much previous Special Counsel Robert Mueller either failed to include in or did not know about for his own report in his investigation on Russia interference in the 2016 election, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News. Turley made his observation Friday after Special Counsel John Durham rested his case and Judge Anthony Trenga threw out one count against Danchenko. Attorneys for Danchenko suggested they would not put forth a defense.
Danchenko, a Russian national, pleaded not guilty last year to lying about the source of information that he provided to ex-MI6 Agent Christopher Steele for the much-discredited Trump-Russia dossier.

It shows it was a scam from the beginning, especially since the leadership at the FBI knew in Oct 2016 that the whole thing was bogus, and had no merit.
Would be interesting to see the phone, text and e-mails from a few folks from Sept 2016 to Jan 2017 now wouldn't it.
Not even saying anyone needs to be prosecuted or go to jail, but simply expose the lies, manipulations and abuse of office.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller should return all paychecks collected.

And what we see, day after day, regardless of legal venues, President Trump has been abused by the legal system, by the Deep State (which includes the Justice Department). Many mention the Show Trials in communist countries, and this is an apt comparison. The Dem/Left has perverted the justice system and the Rule of Law which up until now were the shining beacon of a free country where everyone is treated equally under the Law (obviously as run by fallible humans, there have always been imperfections).
IF, IF IF IF we had real journalists and not the partisan hacks in MSM the corruption of the legal system would be addressed, and the people might then unisonally cry out for reform. We can continue to hope and pray for an awakening.

It's beginning to look like no Republican can run for, or be elected to, the Presidency of the USA unless he is a billionaire who can afford to pay platoons of lawyers to defend him from the taxpayer-paid armies of lawyers in the DOJ who will stop at nothing in their attempt to ruin him. That's why I feel sorry for DeSantis if he tries to run in 2024.

Since it was all a hoax they should be required to pay all legal fees paid by Trump & his associates.

Durham has framed this as Danchenko's lies caused the FBI to do bad things, rather than holding the FBI accountable for purposely ignoring their internal procedures, common sense and their motto of Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity. This trial demonstrates the rot in the FBI and their political animosity that has ruined their reputation. Danchenko is not the problem here.

Mueller was such an obvious figurehead: when asked specifics he was clueless. Zealots were running that very expensive and useless "investigation." And in the old, mentally agile days he actually did damage to the FBI with his consolidations and "improvements".

Also, attempts are being made to equate Biden's actual threats to the Saudis with the Trump impeachment re: Ukraine. Not so: Trump simply asked, no threats implied, that investigators take a look at the Hunter associated Ukrainian energy company for possible malfeasance. Trump did nothing in the way of threats, but Joe Biden swooped in and demanded that Ukraine get RID of the prosecutor looking in to the mess (too honest) or the UI.S. would withhold aid. And then he laughingly bragged about what he had done on camera. Not remotely what Trump was impeached for. We really are on the thin edge of the wedge re: liberty and honesty in this country, and the Press is leading the charge.

Here's an important question to ponder. Could any democrat withstand the scrutiny, illegal searches and harassment that Trump has endured and NOT be in jail right now. I can only conclude that the weaponized DOJ is so completely inept that they can't find a single Trump crime or, rare for the political world, Trump has never done anything illegal. It's starting to look like they will have to frame him to make up some alleged crime. Russia collusion part 2?

The Muller SCAM was a coverup operation...all of them should be in PRISON for a minimum of 50 years!

Nothing new here. Muellie can simply claim plausible deniability just like everyone else in the deep state does.

Mueller ignored nothing. Mueller was there to seize and quarantine all evidence of FBI criminal activity, and to perpetuate the prosecution and spying on Trump, which continues to this day.

#15, add in daily beatings and I'd be on-board with 50 years. After all, the commies seem to think it's OK to beat the J6 prisoners of war in the DC gulag.
