Igor Danchenko was acquitted in federal court on all four counts of lying to the FBI about where he obtained the phony information that he secretly fed to ex-British spy Christopher Steele for his fictive dossier that smeared Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The loss is another setback for special counsel John Durham. However, Gregg Jarrett says he is not surprised. He points out the case was held in Alexandria, Virginia, where 80% of residents voted Democrat in the last presidential election.

Gregg Jarrett, in his The Brief Article presents a valid argument why though John Durham may have lost the case; it was still a success. He believes the Virginia trial was never really about Danchenko but the FBI’s years of shameful lies, shocking corruption, and devious coverups.

“Special counsel Durham should be commended for his dogged pursuit of the truth. He may have lost the trial, but he succeeded in unraveling a multitude of pernicious lies. He exposed how a malignant force of unelected officials committed uncommon corruption through insipid deceptions and malevolent acts. They subverted our rules of law and undermined the democratic process. By their venal acts, they damaged the institutions of American government. And they squandered the nation’s trust. Comey and his miserable minions may now be gone from the FBI, but the wretched rot lingers.”
