I thought there was a thread on the Steele dossier but could nopt find one so I will post this here.....

Interview
Trump’s false ‘Russian spy’ claims put me in danger, says Steele dossier source

Exclusive: New York-based analyst Igor Danchenko did gather intelligence about Trump but he is certainly not a spy, he says

A Russian analyst says he is in hiding and “afraid for his life” after being unmasked by top congressional Republicans as the source behind the Steele dossier on Donald Trump and Moscow.

In his first-ever interview Igor Danchenko said he is the victim of a smear campaign by the president and the Republican senator Lindsey Graham. Both have repeatedly alleged that Danchenko is a suspected Russian spy who fed disinformation to Christopher Steele, the former MI6 officer.

Danchenko said he was not a Kremlin operative. He added that the accusation had made him a target for the pro-Trump radical right and left him effectively unemployed. “It’s a stigma. Being a ‘Russian spy’ is quite different from being James Bond. There are myths,” he told the Guardian.

He is now threatening to take legal action against Trump. Last week Danchenko’s lawyer, Mark E Schamel, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Pat Cipollone, the president’s counsel. It said Trump had endorsed and retweeted “completely unsubstantiated lies”, which damaged Danchenko’s professional reputation and were “endangering his life”.

The letter added: “These allegations of treason and espionage are extraordinarily serious. They are also completely false. Yet the president continues to publish these and similar false statements about Mr Danchenko with disregard for Mr Danchenko’s safety and reputation.”

In spring and summer 2016 Danchenko collected much of the raw intelligence that appeared in Steele’s dossier on Trump’s links with Moscow.

He was outed in July, following interviews he gave in early 2017 to the FBI as part of its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump’s possible collusion with Russia. He was described in FBI documents as Steele’s “primary sub-source”.

In recent weeks Trump has retweeted claims that Danchenko is a “Russian spy”, and the Republican senator Lindsey Graham made similar assertions to Fox News. Graham recently published the transcript of Danchenko’s FBI interview, after attorney general William Barr cleared it for release.

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Graham said Danchenko had fed Kremlin disinformation to Steele. Steele, whose dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton’s Democrats, had then made it into a “Tom Clancy novel” which was in turn “sold” to the FBI.

Speaking to the Guardian from New York, Danchenko defended his work on the dossier. “I stand by it,” he said. He said he did not resile from explosive allegations that Trump may have been compromised during a visit in 2013 to Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton hotel. “I got it right,” he added.

The Steele dossier alleged that the Kremlin had been cultivating Trump for at least five years. It said that the FSB spy agency had secretly videoed Trump during his trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe beauty pageant, filming him inside the hotel’s presidential suite with two sex workers.

Trump strenuously denies the claim. Danchenko said he couldn’t discuss his sources in Russia or his methods. But he said: “I stand by my raw intelligence.”

He said the “salacious” material in the dossier formed a small part of a 35-page document. The allegation would be “amusing”, he said, were it not for the fact that any covert FSB recording might be used for blackmail purposes.

Danchenko said he collected his raw intelligence from Russia on a “shoestring budget”. He confirmed that he travelled to Moscow and St Petersburg in 2016 for “the Trump-Russia project”.

In August the committee published its counter-intelligence findings into the Trump campaign’s ties with Russia. The bipartisan report was dismissive of Steele’s dossier, but corroborated key elements in it, saying that a Russian intelligence officer was “permanently based” at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, and spied on guests via a “network” of hidden cameras.

The nearly 1,000 page report also laid out multiple contacts between Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager who features in the dossier, and Konstantin Kilimnik, described as a Russian intelligence officer. Manafort gave Kilimnik internal Trump polling data, and the report described his willingness to pass sensitive material to a Moscow spy as a “grave counter-intelligence threat”.

Danchenko said the campaign against him was designed to deflect from the damaging Senate report. “I think they thought I would be an easy target to discredit the dossier. By doubling down on this they would be able to discredit the whole Russia investigation,” he said.

He said his dossier assignment was no different from other projects he’d done before. “I was not on any political fishing expedition on behalf of anyone. My mandate was broad and standard: while doing your research on A and B, also see if there is anything on Trump campaign-Russia. Report any leads or red flags back. As a seasoned Russia expert, that was exactly what I did.”

Danchenko said he cooperated fully with the FBI – but not, as has been suggested, as part of some “deep state” plot. He described its agents as “very knowledgable and professional”. “They treated me with respect,” he said.

During the interviews Danchenko appeared to downplay the reliability of his own information – a point seized upon by Republican commentators. According to inspector general Michael Horowitz, Danchenko told the bureau his work with sub-sources in Russia amounted to “hearsay” and “conversation had with friends over beers”. Statements about Trump’s sexual activities were “jest”, he said.

Born in the USSR, Danchenko graduated from high school in Perm, Russia, and spent a year as an exchange student in Louisiana. He worked as a Russian-trained lawyer in the oil and construction industry, including in Iran, and later earned degrees from the University of Louisville and Georgetown University.

His US career started at the Brookings Institution, where he worked from 2005 to 2010. One of his close colleagues was Fiona Hill – Trump’s then future and now former national security adviser. In 2009 the FBI launched an investigation into his possible links with Russian intelligence. The inquiry was shelved in 2011.

Danchenko said that as a specialist in Russia and Eurasia and the author of analytical papers it was inevitable he would come into contact with Russian officials. “It would be strange if I didn’t meet them,” he said. “I’m not surprised if one was an intelligence officer of some sort. That’s how they operate, using diplomatic cover. The FBI looked into me, as they should have done.”

Danchenko is based in New York. He said since the Republicans outed him this summer he could no longer return to Russia – even in the event that Putin left power. He had been forced to embark on costly litigation against Trump and others to defend his reputation, he said – and on Monday launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay his legal bills.

He was worried about using his real name when checking into hotels, and was more afraid of renegade Trump supporters than of Kremlin operatives. “I’m afraid for my life. I want to stay healthy. I want to stay alive,” he said.

Hands up all you Trumpies that think I disrespect your President but would pay two hookers to piss over a bed Obama slept it?

Remember all beds matter.

Thinskin

 

Trump and the Republicans do not care. They are fine with getting people killed over their lies. The Senate especially has more than a few Putin/Russia asset more than willing to spread Russian false propaganda and help them interfere in our elections. Which meets the definition of treason.

 

So, lets see if Shooter understands this.
The primary source of the information contained in the Steele Dossier turns out to be this Danchenko fellow. He claims he is NOT a Russian operative and NOT a Russian spy. He agrees he is the one who gathered (created? Developed?) most of the dirt on President Trump and gave it to Steele, who then gave it to the despicables and the FBI. He has also now described the information as "hearsay" and best characterized as "casual talk over a beer with friends," And that the items about Trumps sexual activities were in jest.

Ah. So, a joke.

So, Danchenko is not a Russian operative and not a spy. And he concedes his information is little better than gossip. This, Clinton and the DNC paid Millions for? This, the American government used as the basis for spying on a political campaign? This doesn't piss off Clinton, knowing she paid Millions for unreliable gossip?

You're kidding, right?

 

He made his bed, let him lie in it! It won't be the urine that kills him but his germophobia!

All Germs Matter!

 

Biden?
Really?
Harris.
Really.
Hunter!
Oh shit!

 

Lev Parnas demands GOP senator ‘tell the truth’ about Giuliani’s Russian misinformation campaign

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/le...ut-giulianis-russian-misinformation-campaign/

 

Okay, what?

And who the fuck cares?

 

The fake outrage, the lies, the propaganda aimed at Giuliani as the messenger in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal only underscores the panic in despicable circles.

They had 4 fucking years. Biden is all they could come up with.

 

The credibility factor could be in question when it comes to this alleged criminal, just about as much credibility as that character Micheal Cohen, that is serving prison time as we speak.

DNI John Ratcliffe: Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has said Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign. In an interview Monday, he called out Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff for claiming such.

Ratcliffe stated the Intelligence Community does not believe Schiff’s claims because there is no intelligence to support them. The Republican also has said the laptop is in the jurisdiction of the FBI and the Intelligence Committee has not been involved in the matter.

The emails in question detail Hunter’s ties to corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and Chinese officials who paid him for introducing them to his father when he was vice president.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) fired off a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray, urging him to disclose if the agency is probing emails reportedly from Hunter’s laptop.

Johnson has asked Wray to inform the panel if the agency has taken any action regarding those emails. The lawmaker also questioned what the FBI knew about Hunter and when they knew it, while noting it speaks to a “larger issue.”

This comes as outrage surrounding the emails continues to grow.

“You have taken blood money,” said former White House strategist Steve Bannon. “…blood money, Hunter Biden, to do your drugs and all your depravity.”

Bannon has accused Joe and Hunter of stealing money from the people of China as well as Ukraine by aiding and abetting their corrupt regimes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See...you asked us to believe 17 intelligence agencies that had surmounting evidence that there was in fact Trump/Russia/Putin election collusion, an investigation is opened, all based on some irrational wet dreams of some said Russian and a discredited ex-British spy and not to mention some cash that was involved...as it turns out, no one in the half crackers administration believed that there was any election collusion..or evidence to support such allegations...but dammit...they lost there due election...so, nothing else mattered...just get Trump.

You yo-yo's have run this Russia prospect to the hilt, and yet continue the illicit charade in the name of what?...Justice?... or Coup?

 

Notice?
It's only politics when a deplorable does it to benefit a deplorable.
When a despicable does it to benefit a despicable its patriotic.

We're talking new levels of depravity here with this Hunter laptop scandal.

 

Now here's an item of interest. Shooter will just leave it right here for everyone to see.

Exclusive: 'Dumb mistake’ exposed Iranian hand behind fake Proud Boys U.S. election emails - sources

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Government analysts and private sector investigators were able to rapidly attribute to Iranian hackers a wave of thousands of threatening emails aimed at U.S. voters because of mistakes made in a video attached to some of the messages, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Those failures provided a rare opportunity for the U.S. government to identify and publicly announce blame for a malicious cyber operation in a matter of days, something that usually requires months of technical analysis and supporting intelligence.

"Either they made a dumb mistake or wanted to get caught," said a senior U.S. government official, who asked not to be identified. "We are not concerned about this activity being some kind of false flag due to other supporting evidence. This was Iran."


Attribution to Iranian hackers does not necessarily mean a group is working at the behest of the government there. Iranian officials denied the U.S. allegations.

“These accusations are nothing more than another scenario to undermine voter confidence in the security of the U.S. election, and are absurd," said Alireza Miryousefi, spokesman for Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York.

On Wednesday, U.S. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Russia and Iran have both tried to interfere https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...d-to-interfere-in-2020-election-idUSKBN2763E3 in the campaign for the Nov. 3 election. U.S. intelligence agencies are still analyzing exactly who in Iran commanded the operation and its intent, three of the sources said.

Within hours of the video being circulated this week, which purported to come from a American far-right group known as The Proud Boys, intelligence officials and major email platform providers, such as Alphabet Inc's <GOOGL.O> Google and Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O>, began closely analyzing computer code that appeared in the hackers' video.

While the emails, which demanded that voters change their party affiliation to the Republican Party and vote for President Donald Trump or “we will come after you,” appeared to come from info @officialproudboys[].com, the address was inauthentic, security analysts said. The Proud Boys denied they were behind the messages.

How security analysts used intelligence from the video to attribute the email scheme has not been previously reported.

A Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment on the company's collaboration with law enforcement. A Google statement on Wednesday night said the activity was "linked to Iran." A Google spokesperson said on Thursday the company was in contact with the FBI.

ATTEMPTS TO BLUR

The hackers were unable to obfuscate all of the incriminating information despite their attempts to blur aspects of the video to hide their identity, the sources said.

The video showed the hackers' computer screen as they typed in commands to purportedly hack a voter registration system. Investigators noticed snippets of revealing computer code, including file paths, file names and an internet protocol (IP) address.

Security analysts found that the IP address, hosted through an online service called Worldstream, traced back to previous Iranian hacking activity, the sources said.

Analysts then cross-referenced those clues left in the video with data from other intelligence streams, including communications interceptions, the government official said.

“This public disclosure of attribution to Iran by the government has been done with breakneck speed, compared to the usual process that takes months and often years," said Dmitri Alperovitch, a co-founder of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Justice Department blamed Russia for a host of malicious cyberattacks, some dating back to 2015.

Two cybersecurity experts, who spoke on condition of anonymity, independently said they had seen Iranian hackers use infrastructure from Dutch-based Worldstream to launch cyberattacks in recent months.

Worldstream’s chief legal operations officer Wouter van Zwieten said in a statement that the account associated with the IP in question was suspended after Reuters got in touch and that the Dutch National Cyber Security Center was looking into the matter.

“They’ve just informed us that the particular IP address is now officially registered by them and ready for investigation under Dutch Law,” van Zwieten said. The National Cyber Security Center confirmed that Worldstream had been in touch and that it had logged the case but didn't comment further.

Van Zwieten said the server used by the hackers was only commissioned on Oct. 6 and had not drawn any complaints until now. The company said it had no access to the content on its servers.

In addition to sending thousands of emails to voters in states including Florida, the hackers also attempted to share links to the video via fake accounts on Facebook and Twitter.

"We disrupted an attempt by a single fake account to seed information related to what appears to be an influence operation primarily focused on spreading false claims via email," Facebook said in a statement.

A Twitter spokeswoman said: "We acted quickly to proactively and permanently suspend a small number of accounts and limit the sharing of media specific to this coordinated campaign."

Notice all the little Russian helpers.

REVEALED: FBI says pernicious Russian hacker Berserk Bear has infiltrated multiple US government websites

*National security experets were left scratching their heads last night when the DNI Ratcliff and FBI Director Wray held a news conference to talk about foreign election interference. And it made very little sense. Ratcliff spent most the time talking about Iran sending out some fake emails while Russia barely got mentioned. And as most experts including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi point out when it comes to cyber attacks and election interference Russia is like major league compared to Iran which is little league. But its starting to make sense now. Russia is the real threat but they couldn't say that on TV because Trump would throw a fit. So they barely mentioned Russia last night and issued the warning in writing today.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/re...-infiltrated-multiple-us-government-websites/

 

Ya know, Iran/Russian election meddling is, or should be of no concern.

It should be of very hot concern about election meddling by our own media enterprises.

It's preet damn sad when over 60% of folks polled are knowing that the state-run leftist media is in the pocket of the leftists and will assist any leftists to get elected.

As far as I'm concerned...Iran/Russia aint got shit on our own hack fuck media outlets.
