Steele dossier contributor Igor Danchenko arrested

Igor Danchenko is accused of lying to the FBI.

For all of the Trump presidency, liberals pushed a fake news narrative that the president was compromised by the Russians. The accusations were based on a fabricated “dossier” that made baseless charges against President Donald Trump.

Now the peddlers of that fake news are starting to face the consequences of their lies.

The charges are that not only did Clinton/Democrats fund the dossier but a longtime Clinton/Dem operative was one of the sources for the rumors about Trump. Doesn’t get much worse. https://t.co/JsXANbgoIZ

“Igor Danchenko, 43, was busted as part of special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe, which Trump has long insisted was a witch hunt,” the New York Post reported.

“Danchenko, a Russian citizen living in Virginia, was a primary source for Christopher Steele, the former British spy who was paid by Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign for intelligence examining ties between Russia and Trump,” the NY Post said.
