The New York Post<\/a> is reporting today that Igor Danchenko has been arrested and accused of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A Russian analyst who was the key source behind the shady \u201cSteele dossier\u201d about former President Donald Trump was arrested in Virginia on Thursday as part of an ongoing special counsel investigation, the Justice Department said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Igor Danchenko, 43, is accused of lying to the FBI when questioned about his work compiling the wild allegations about Russia and Trump ahead of his victorious 2016 presidential election, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shady analyst is now the third person to face charges in special counsel John Durham\u2019s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, which Trump has long insisted was a witch hunt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem is that many Americans believe the Steele dossier was factual and many mainstream media outlets have not yet admitted it wasn’t.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Many of his other allegations, such as the claim that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen visited Prague to meet Russian intel operatives, have been subsequently disproven.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the indictment, the FBI interviewed Danchenko several times between January and November 2017 to determine if information contained in the dossier was true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Danchenko allegedly lied to federal investigators about his sources for the dubious intel on at least five different dates during that time, the court document states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For instance, the feds say Danchenko falsely claimed never to have spoken to a certain unnamed PR executive \u2014 who was also a longtime Democratic party operative \u2014 about any of the allegations in the report.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Danchenko actually used the exec as an anonymous source for one or more of the claims contained in the dossier, according to the indictment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how far this investigation goes before it is shut down for one reason or another. The people most in danger from the investigation are the Clintons, and the fact that Terry McAuliffe lost the election in Virginia this week may be a sign that the power the Clintons wield in the Democrat party is waning. I suspect that the Bidens have no love for the Clintons, but they may want to see the investigation shut down before it does serious damage to the Democrat party.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
